That doesn't actually create a problem, but just creates an extra variable that I don't use. –Teofrostus Sep 16 '13 at 14:20 Where have u declared FoundBette

I just tried your UDF and it works fine for me. Do you have it placed in a general VBA module (it should be)? Are you entering VB: =ctof(100) in your cell to use the UDF (where 100 should be replaced by the C temperature you are trying to convert)? The #Name suggests that you may be misspelling "CtoF" Last edited by Jack in the UK; September 15th, 2005 at 17:22.
