Default What is "my" cell?

Is there a way for a user defined function to tell what cell its being run
from?

For example if cell C3 is set to =MyUDF("x") is there a way for MyUDF to
figure out that its running from C3?

TIA,

josh

You can also use

Application.ThisCell

This differs from Application.Caller when used in array formulas.

Yes. Application.Caller.Address will give the cell containing the function
and
Application.Caller.Parent.Name will give the Worksheet name.
