Dot in function names Dutch Excel
Hi,
I've always, ever since Excel 4.0, wondered how (and why!) but never dared to ask ... Some Dutch Excel worksheet functions have a dot in their name (VERT.ZOEKEN - VLOOKUP). The Analysis Toolpak functions are loaded with dots (COUP.DAGEN.DB - COUPDAYBS). First question: How can I, for myself, program a function with a dotted name? Not that I'm glad to do so but I'd like to program look-a-likes for some of these functions. Second: Why ever did MS allow this type of function name? (Could the programmer, as a reward, please be send to Guantanamo Bay for ever?) -- Mvg, Frans www.fhvzelm.com |

Dot in function names Dutch Excel
First question:
How can I, for myself, program a function with a dotted name? Hi. This may not be what you were looking at. In Excel VBA help, check out "Type Statement" This is one way I know of where a 'dot' is used. ie MyRecord.ID = 12003 = = = = = = = = = = = HTH Dana DeLouis On 12/19/09 4:53 PM, F.H. van Zelm wrote: Hi, I've always, ever since Excel 4.0, wondered how (and why!) but never dared to ask ...

Dot in function names Dutch Excel
Hi Dana,
Thanks for reading and responding. MyRecord.Id indeed has a dot in the name. But ... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function My.Calculation(InputValue As Integer) As Integer 'All manipulation End Function ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- doesn't work because of the dot. But in the Dutch version of Excel VERT.ZOEKEN (with dot) really works. Mvg, Frans "Dana DeLouis" schreef in bericht ... First question: How can I, for myself, program a function with a dotted name?
