How do I get a UDF to return #N/A, as if from =NA()

Thanks, Barb Reinhardt A function can only return a value. If you want to set a formula into the cell, you'll need to use a different method (e.g. Sub). However, if having your formula return the #NA error (not the string; the error) is acceptable, then you could set your result equal to CVErr(xlErrNA). The only potential caveat is that you'd need to use a variant for your result. e.g: ====================== Function FooBar() As Variant FooBar = CVErr(xlErrNA) End Function ==================== --ron |
