Hello, I have a problem in vba. I am trying to use index function(which is an excel function) in vba. Let the function to be:


Function myfunc(a As Range)
mayfunc = Index(a, 1, 2)
End Function

However I get such an error "sub of function undefined" by highlighting "Index". In vba isn't index function defined? If not, what is its counterpart in vba? Thanks a lot. Best regards.

try:
myfunc = WorksheetFunction.Index(a, 1, 2)

If you want to use an Excel function within VBA, you need to be specific (in computer talk). Not all Excel functions are useable within VBA.

Try WorksheetFunction.Index(...)

You can use directly range(row_number, column_number)

Function myfunc(a As Range)
mayfunc = a(1, 2)
End Function

Hi,

One other point I would add to this, if you want to use worksheet functions in VBA you need to preface the function with WorksheetFunction or Application for example:

Sub IndexFunctionInVBA()
x = WorksheetFunction.Index(Range("C17:C32"), 1, 1)
MsgBox x
End Sub
