Hi, this gotta be something very simple that I'm missing. The
following function is inside a module and it fails on Worksheet ...
statement. The function returns #value

Function ddddd(X As Double) As Double

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = 123

ddddd = X + 1

End Function

Also Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1,1).Value = 123 fails in the same
manner

Thank you!

Remove the

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = 123

A UDF cannot do anything other than return a value to the cell it's in.

True. Also, no formatting can be done. What I found a bit strange when I saw
it, is that a UDF can produce a MsgBox.

True enough. It just cannot 'do' anything to a workbook itself.
