No. What you are doing is the way to go. However, if you want for
whatever reasont to use a function, write a user defined function. Put
the following in a standard module.

Option Explicit

Function FractionChange(OldVal As Double, NewVal As Double)
FractionChange = (NewVal - OldVal) / OldVal
End Function

The function is used in a worksheet cell as =FractionChange(C11,D11)
where C11 contains the old value and D11 the new.

Bob,

You need to prefix the function name with the workbook name.
E.g.,

=personal.xls!FractionChange(1,2)

It is something of a misconception that functions in personal.xls
are available to all workbooks, as though there were something
special about the workbook. Personal.xls is just a regular
workbook, but one that is generally always open. You still need
to tell Excel to look there, though.

Also make sure it is in a general module and not a sheet module or other
special module like workbook or userform or a class module. You get a
general module when you go the vbe and with personal.xls as the active
project, do Insert => Module.

when you declare the function make it public

Public Function FractionChange(rng1 as Range, rng2 as Range)

End Function
