James,

FindNominal = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(NomCode, Range("IMPORTDOC"), 5,
False)

will work as long as IMPORTDOC is at least 5 columns wide.

Hi
couldn't get range to work.

Cant get any info on the range function from help in vb
Should importdoc be the name of one of my excel worksheets or (as it is
currently) a range of cells currently defined in excel.

In summary I have so far

Function FindNominal(NomCode)
FindNominal = WorkSheetfunction.VLookup(NomCode, ???????, 5, false)
End Function

I have nothing else within my macro
I haven't created any objects or anything, as i say i have no experience
with macros

what do i need to put in where the ????? marks are
Currently I have an excel worksheet called 'import' with a defined range
of cells IMPORTDOC


Please please help, i just dont know

Thanks
James

I have written my own function FindNominal (as below) in a macro in
excel. I want to use this function repeatedly in my excel spreadsheet.


Function FindNominal(NomCode)

FindNominal = Vlookup(NomCode, IMPORTDOC, 5 false)
End Function


but it does NOT work.


It reports
Vlookup is not recognised.
Do i need to write an import statement?

IMPORTDOC is defined as a range of cells in excel by the name, define
command.
I take it this is acceptable?

Thanks
