Returning arrays

[Guest]

I have written a user defined function that returns an array.

I want to insert this function into a cell on my worksheet and have a
specific member of the array appear in the cell.

What is the syntax for the formula in the cell on the worksheet that will
access a specific element in the array returned from my function?

Thanks in advance for your help.

INDEX into it like this

=INDEX(myfunc(A1:A5),3)

in VB the syntax would be:

OneElement = MyFunc(Whatever)(1)
NextElement = MyFunc(Whatever)(2)
etc.

unfortunately including the trailing element number doesn't work when the
function is used as a cell formula

=MyFunc(Whatever)(1)

What I would do is add an optional Arg to return just the one element desired:

=MyFunc(Whatever,1)

=INDEX(MyFunction(),3,4) for the array element in the 3d "row", 4th
"column" of the array returned by the function "MyFunction".

I learned something new from you and Bob

=INDEX(MyFunction(),3,4) for the array element in the 3d "row", 4th
"column" of the array returned by the function "MyFunction".
