Find out which cell that called my function
 
Hi all,

Is there a way to find out which cell that called my function?
I would like to set the comment for the calling cell, but I dont now how to
find out which cell that called.

Public Function anders_test(roof As Variant, tail As Variant) As Variant
If IsNumeric(roof) And IsNumeric(tail) Then
anders_test = roof / tail
Else
anders_test = "Invalid input"
End If

ActiveCell.AddComment Text:="What if I the roof or tail cell was active?"
End Function

In my example I would set the comment for the cell where result is put, and
that works if that cell is active. But if I have a cell calling the function
and I change the cell with the roof or tail value the comment comes to the
wrong cell.

Is this possible to fix?

OK, I am hopeful now, but I fail when I try to use the Application.Caller
object to set the comment. I don't understand how the Caller object works and
the Help doesn't make me wiser.

Thanx in advance

Not sure what you mean by set the comment, but as help says, the Caller
property returns information about how it was called. If it is called by a
function, caller refers to the range that the function is in.
