I have written a Function in VBA for Excel 2003, but Excel does not recognize it. I get a "Formula contains unrecognized text" error. Any help on what I am going wrong?

Are you able to post part or all of the function? That might help us track down the cause.

Actually, because I have been unable to get it to work at all, I made it very simple.

Here is the function in VBA:

Function PMRRATE(Customer, Pickup, Drop)
PMRRATE = 1
End Function

The call is simply this formula in a cell:

=PMRRATE(B6,C6,E6)

Thanks for your help.

Try something like this...

Public Function PMRRATE(Customer as Variant, Pickup as Variant, Drop as Variant)
    PMRRATE = 1
End Function

Any luck with that?

Oh, And welcome to the forum [:-)]

Thanks for the welcome. And for the quick response to my questions.

No, that has made no difference. For whatever reason, the function is simply not being recognized.

I tried just a blank worksheet with a simple function and get the same result. Is there a way that the function name should be "published" so that it shows up in the list of functions? How does it get recognized?

I put this functions (see bellow) in blank worksheet and both of them work correctly. I can write these functions handly or choose them from list of functions (user). Please try it.

Function WYNIK1(ALA, OLA, KASIA) As Variant
WYNIK1 = 5 * ALA + 2 * OLA + KASIA
End Function

Function PMRATE(Customer, Pickup, Drop) As Variant
PMRATE = 1
End Function

I put both of these functions in VB and called both of them from a blank worksheet. In both cases, I get #NAME? as a result. If I select the cell containing the call and click on Insert Function, the function is undefined.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner...

In the VBA Editor, Right Click "Sheet 1" and choose Insert -> Module

Then paste your code into the module. Yell if that doesn't work, and I'll upload the spreadsheet I just threw together.
