Excel Custom Function Not Recognized

Public Function findPurchase() Dim CRT As Range Set CRT = Range("CostRateTable") Dim existsBetter As Boolean existsBetter = True Dim r As Integer r = 2 Dim c As Integer c = 4 While existsBetter Dim Found As Boolean FoundBetter = False While Not FoundBetter And c <= CRT.Columns.Count If CRT(r, c) > CRT(r, 2) And CRT(r, c) < 1 Then FoundBetter = True Else c = c user defined function excel name error + 1 End If Wend existsBetter = FoundBetter If existsBetter Then r = r + 1 End If Wend findPurchase = CRT(r, 3) 'MsgBox(findPurchase) End Function I know the function does what it is supposed to because I have both manually checked the table of values, removed the comment ' from the MsgBox, and used the debug tools to step in and out of each of the functions steps as it went through the table. However, when I reference the function in Excel with =findPurchase() I'm given a #NAME? error. The function even shows up in the function auto-complete box when I begin to type its name. When I write other functions, both with and without parameters, I can reference them just fine, for example: Function addtwo() addtwo = 1 + 2 End Function What am I doing wrong with my function which causes it not to work? excel vba excel-vba share|improve this question asked Sep 16 '13 at 14:13 Teofrostus 3762413 Dim Found As Boolean Is it just because this line isn't dim'd correctly? –Joe Laviano Sep 16 '13 at 14:19 Ah, my bad. I fixed that, but am still getting the same error. 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 FoundBetter? Also have you tried stepping through the code? Did you try running the function from VBA? Does i

I read a lot of forums but I haven't the solution yet. I defined a VBA function for excel. A very simple one, just to test it. The problem is that when I try to use https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0a79b7d8-178e-4cf5-8bc3-782a58b55a8b/vbaexcel-function-defined-by-user-gives-error-personalxlsb-weird?forum=isvvba it, excel gives me the #NAME error. It only works if in the formula wizard I explicitly writes " PERSONAL.XLSB.name of function". I tried the following: 1) enabling the use of macros at the hhighest level; 2) i put the code in the personal.xlsb section of vba 3) i defined it as a public function 4) i tried to use the command application.volatile and the command Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic One thing that is weird - on top of the fact that I can't properly use this custom function defined by me unless i explicitily write personal.xlsb.name of the function when keying the formula - is the name of my personal file of excel. I have never seen a file named personal.xlsb I have to add that I often use other personal.xls (coming from my previous company experience) files. Given my company restrictions, I am not allowed to copy and replace the current personal.xls with my previous one. So, when I need one old macro I just click and open the personal.xls coming from my

The top reason https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-to-correct-a-NAME-error-B6D54E31-A743-4D7D-9B61-40002A7B4286 why the #NAME? error appears in your formula is because there is a typo in the formula name. Look at the following example: Important: The #NAME? error signifies that something needs to be corrected in the syntax, so when you see the http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/name-error-with-user-defined-functions.3946031/ error in your formula, resolve it. Do not use any error-handling functions such as IFERROR to mask the error. To avoid typos in formula names, use the Formula Wizard in Excel. When you start typing a formula name in a cell name error or the Formula Bar, a list of formulas matching to the words you have entered displays in a dropdown. Once you enter the formula name and the opening parentheses, the Formula Wizard displays the syntax as hover text. You can also use the Function Wizard to avoid the syntactical errors. Select the cell with the formula, and on the Formula tab, press Insert Function. Excel will automatically load the Wizard for you. As you click each argument, Excel will give you the vba function not appropriate information for each one. Given below are other causes of the #NAME? error. The formula refers to a name that has not been defined When your formula has a reference to a name that is not defined in Excel, you will see the #NAME? error. See the following example of a SUM function referring to Profit, which is an undefined name in the workbook. Solution: Define a name in Name Manager, and then add the name to the formula. Follow these steps to do that: If you already have the data in the spreadsheet, and want to assign a name to specific cells or a cell range, first select the cells in the spreadsheet. If you want to create a new range, you can skip this step. On the Formulas tab, in the Defined Names group, click Define Name, and then click Define Name. Enter a unique name. For the Scope, select if you want the name to be available within the sheet only, or the entire workbook. Enter an optional comment. Click OK. The next part is to add the name in the formula. Keep the cursor in the formula syntax at the point where you want to add the name you just created. Go to the Formulas tab, in Defined Names group, click Use in Formula, and then select the defined name you want to add. For more information on using defined names, see Define and use names in formulas. T
Guest Excel 2007 I have a problem that has been driving me nuts. I created a code module and have pasted a couple of user defined functions into the module. When I am entering my formula into a cell and I start typing the name of the function, I see that the function is listed in the drop-down list of functions. That tells me that Excel recognizes the function. However, after entering the formula I get a #NAME? error. Here is a link to just one of the user defined functions that I've been trying to use. http://xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html#code Other people have successfully used the function as-is without any problems by doing exactly the same things that I've done. Yet, when I try to use the function I just get the #NAME? error. Furthermore, I've tried a number of different functions and with every one I get the #NAME? error. Is there something that I need to do in order to use custom functions, like maybe install an add-in or something, or is there a configuration setting that enables the use of custom functions? Thanks for any help that you can offer. --Tom Thomas M., Jan 1, 2010 #1 Advertisements Niek Otten Guest The function should be in a General module, not a Sheet module or a Workbook module But maybe one of the arguments is interpreted as a name that is not recognized What is your formula? -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Thomas M." <> wrote in message news:... > Excel 2007 > > I have a problem that has been driving me nuts.
