EXcel formula but when i Use the function in the excel Sheet it is not
recognized. I get #Name Error.

Hi,

Assuming you mean UDF's then you will get a NAME error if you put them in
the wrong place. Try this

ALT+F11 to open VB editor. Right click 'ThisWorkbook' and insert module and
put your function there.

Are the functions in a general module in the workbook in which you are
calling them?

Should be OK in that case.

If stored in another workbook like Personal.xls you must preface the formula
as such................

=Personal.xls!myfunction(args)
