Hi All,

I am designing my own functions and was wondering how I add the “Help”
text that appears at the bottom of the grey box you see when you double
click the funtion name.

EG for the =sum function you see “Adds all the numbers in a range of
cells”. Below this there is also text giving information on each
argument.

Hos do I code this?

Regards
Garry

You can add a description for your function. Try this. Hit Alt-F8 (or
however you bring up the Macro box,) since you are dealing with a function,
its name won't appear so you have to type it in. When you do, you should be
able to choose Options. Click Options and enter your description. However,
last I heard there is no way to give help for your argument list.
