Detecting "CallingCell" In Function

[dec_obrien]

Hi,
I have a custom function that calculates the Date given various
conditions. What I want to do is conditionally format the cell from
where the function is called based on the day of the week calculated.
It's like "ActiveCell" for the calling cell of the function but
obviously ActiveCell will not be correct. I know I could pass the Cell
Row/ Column in as arguments to teh function but this seems a bit messy
if there an easier way of detecting this.

Any ideas?

A UDF cannot alter the environment, it can only return a value.
So you can't format a cell with a call from a worksheet function.

Maybe you should Format >Conditional Formatting...

You cannot format a cell from within a UDF, just no can do.

Function who_called_me()
who_called_me = ""
MsgBox (Application.Caller.Address)
End Function

Thanks guys, Application.Caller.Address gets teh address of the cell but
it won't change the format of the cell.

Correct.
Not possible with a worksheet function.
