Excel Udf #name Error
Excel 2010 workbook to define the function FileSize, which enables me to pull the size of a document into a document master worksheet using the filepath.

Both workbooks are macro-enabled (.xlsm), and activating or deactivating option explicit hasn't had any effect.

Double check to insure that you are actually putting that function in a module in the same workbook in which you are using the formula.

Just changed the module name, and now the functions populate correctly. share|improve this answer answered Feb 20 '15 at

So, here's what I got: Code: Function Efficiencys(ProfitList As Range) Dim Winner As Integer Winner = 0 Dim Loser As Integer Loser = 0 For a = 1 To ProfitList.Count If ProfitList.Item(a) > 0 Then Winner = Winner + 1 ElseIf ProfitList.Item(a) < 0 Then Loser = Loser + 1 End If Next Efficiencys = Winner / Loser End Function in Cell H52 =Efficiencys(ProfitNLoss) ProfitNLoss is a named range $G$2-$G$49. I can see it properly defined in the Workbook in the Name Manager. in H52, I get a little green corner dog ear, which once i click on I get the ! yield sign to the left, and the drop down says "Invalid Name Error" At first I thought Efficiency was a reserved word, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!
