Insert a function through a command button
 

I have custom function created in VBA.
I want to use the button to insert the function.
I tried to accomplish is something like inserting the Sum function by
clicking the button so that =sum() appears in the cell and i can type
the number/parameters required.
But, when i tried to do that using a macro recorder then it cannot be
done
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I did something similar to this. The problem is that you can't have your
code inserting and the user interacting as Excel does natively, so what I
did was to throw up a dialog asking the user to select the cell to be
included, using Application.Inputbox(...Type:=8) and then get that cell
address and inject it into my string, and return the string from the
function.

I think in my case, application.inputbox is not needed.
Coz, the desired cell is already selected So, its very easy to get
that cell address.
So, I only need to get a way to inject the cell address to the string
to use the function, i hope
that it would be possible.
Thanks for your prompt response.

If the parameter cell is selected, what is the target cell (for the
formula)?

And can you be sure some other cell won't get selected?

I want to insert the function in the cell that is selected.
So, in my opinion the selected cell itself is the target cell
Or, let me explain again what i need to do.
I have to insert my custom function lets say mysub() in the selected
cell A1
Now, I have selected the cell A1
My funciton has one argument (and the agrument is not optional)
So, when i click on the button, and then run the macro,
I should be able to get in the selected cell something like
="=mysub(..)"
with the cursor in between the parenthesis. Like the one we get when
we click the appropriate buttom for the sum function as an example.
Thanks for your concern.

I didn't thought it was a difficult problem,
but i don't know if it was because i couldn't explain the case or my
question properly or
that it was really a difficult problem??
