"function" vs. "worksheet function"
 

I've bashed around with Excel before, but now I'm having to dig into
the Help (on the web). The terms "function" and "worksheet function"
are pervasive. Are they basically synonyms? Thanks.

"Function" is more general -- it can refer to a worksheet function, or
a VBA-based user defined function (UDF).

The need for VBA is starting to nip at my heels. Thanks.

A function does not have to be a UDF, it is just a procedure that (can)
return a result.
