My first macro - doesnt work - function not recognised
 

I have written my own function FindNominal (as below) in a macro in excel. I
want to use this function repeatedly in my excel spreadsheet.


Function FindNominal(NomCode)

FindNominal = Vlookup(NomCode, IMPORTDOC, 5 false)
End Function


but it does NOT work.


It reports
Vlookup is not recognised.
Do i need to write an import statement?

IMPORTDOC is defined as a range of cells in excel by the name, define
command.
I take it this is acceptable?

Thanks
