I opened the VB editor and added a simple function to the General sheet. I
tried both ThisWorkbook and the specific sheet.

Public Function Ripple(x As Double) As Double

Ripple = x

End Function

In the spreadsheet I try to put =Ripple(A1), etc, into cells, but I get a
#Name? error. How do I get the spreadsheet to recognize the VB function?

You have to plce your code in a Module.

I tried that and I still get the #Name? error. I have hit F9 to recalculate.
As a test I added two Ripple functions and when I added a new cell with that
name it popped up an error the notice the name conflict. So it seems to be
trying.

Any other suggestion?

Strange. You are right. Mine doesn't work but yours does. I just deleted
mine and renamed yours and I am happy. Thanks.

I was having the same problem but only when I placed the function in
Personal.xls.
When I placed the same function in a module in the workbook that I wanted to
use it in, it worked fine.

Dunno if you've already tried this?!

No I hadn't put it in personal.xls. I first started out putting it in
Microsoft Excel Objects, Sheet1 and ThisWorkbook. Then at Ardus Petus
suggestion I put it in Modules, Module1 but it still didn't work. Just now I
started over from scratch and it works fine. So I guess putting it in the
wrong place caused me some trouble.
