Because you Dim'med the 'q' variable inside function1, it will not be able
to be seen outside of the procedure. The way to return a value from a
function in VB is to assign the value to the function name within the
function itself; although, for simple functions, you can treat the function
name as if it were a declared variable (and it is also a good idea to
specify the return type in the function's procedure header). You are
probably looking for something like this...
Sub Function1() As Long
Dim k As Long
k = Cells(1,1).Value
Function1 = Function2(k)
End sub
Sub Function2(ByVal n as Long) As Long
Function2 = Function2 + 1
End Sub

This isn't exactly what I meant, although it will work. Here's an
example which isn't really code, but it describes how this function
should work.
Sub function1()
dim k as integer
dim q as integer
cells(1,1)=k
q=function2(k) ' let variable q contain the return value of function2
End sub
Sub function2(ByVal n as integer)
n=n+1
return n
End Sub
