I had a previous post with a few questions. Most of them were answered.
But, I'm still having trouble.

Here's what I have in detail:

In 'Module1'

Public Fuction Comission(MyNum)
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

(I then hit save, exit VBE, save workbook)
types in =comission(A1)

I get #NAME? error still...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi I Need,

Try replacing :

Public Fuction Comission(MyNum)

with

Public Function Comission(MyNum)

(FuNction)

Does it say Function or Fuction?

Probably just a typo in your post but you mis-spelled Function (Fuction)

Try this:

Public Function Comission(MyNum as WHAT)
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

Hi I Need,

I should have added that if you had used the Option Explicit
statement at the head of your module, this error would have
been highlighted.

For additional information on the use of Option Explicit, see
Chip Pearson at:

Try to write FUNCTION instead of fuction, and better say

Public Function Comission(MyNum) As Double
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

Sorry - that was a typo in the post - I used copy & paste for this one!

Public Function Comission(MyNum)
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

and the (MyNum As WHAT) didn't seem to work either

Hi I Need,

Your function works for me.

Is it perhaps possible that, whilst Commision only has a
single m, in your function, in the worksheet it entered with
the normal double m.

Hi,

Make sure you have your function inside a module. If you have it inside a
worksheet or in the ThisWorkbook module, Excel won't find it and give you
#NAME..

Hope that helps.

Try to copy-paste my answer. It works for me!

What you have should work. Everything that is being suggested will make the
function potentailly more efficient or such but what you have is technically
correct. Here is something to check. If you selet Insert - Function from the
menu and then specify "User Defined" under "or select a Category" does your
function show up??? It should.

Thanks Jim,
I tried that - it found my function, but it was called
='Study Information.Testing.xls'!Module1.Comission()
and said that it did not take any parameters! And then it still gave me the
#NAME? error!

I can't spell to save my life, so I will copy paste the function again

Public Function Comission(MyNum)
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

It is stored in: Module 1 (here's what it looks like in VB Editor)
VBAProject(StudyInformation.testing.xls)
+ Microsoft Excel Objects
- Modules
|_ Module1

So, it knows I have the function, but I bet its somehow in the wrong place
or something. But, it said no parameters / arguments - and clearly I have
1...

Hi Sharon,
I copy & pasted that into Module1 - but I got the same problem (only
difference I noticed was As Double- but I copy & pasted just incase)

I also tried what Jim said - Insert Function User Defined
It lists the function as
='Study Information.Testing.xls'!Module1.Comission()
and the little help box pops up - says that there are no parameters.

I am thinking I made the module in the wrong place?
This is how it looks in VB Editor

VBProject(Study Information.Testing.xls)
+ Microsoft Excel Objects
- Modules
|_ Module1 *this is where I have my code*

And here is what I now have as the function:
Public Function Comission(MyNum) As Double
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

So you are trying to use the function defined in one workbook in another
workbook? In the functions list just select the function and it should walk
you through adding the function to your workbook. Here is a little info on
Functions. Functions Return values as opposed to Subs which perform actions.
Functions can take arguments. When you pass in an argument you should specify
exactly what data type the argument is. Additionally since functions return
values you should specify what is being returned. If you don't speicify then
the function assumes Variant data type. So what you have is essentially

Public Function Comission(ByRef MyNum as Variant) as Variant
Comission = MyNum * 0.6
End Function

Variants are inefficient so you are better off to specify the data types.
Additionally you should specify Pass by Value or Pass by Reference. I leave
that to you to investigate. Your function should be...

Public Function Commission(ByVal MyNum as range) as Double
ComMission = MyNum.Value * 0.6
End Function

Well - I had a brainstorm last night - this morning I tried it...
I made a fresh excel workbook, and put in my function - and it worked like a
charm!! So I guess I'm just going to copy & paste as best as I can and just
scrap the old workbook. But thank so much for your informative posts, I have
learned a lot with this : )
