I have a small collection of UDFs some kindly provided by members of
this newsgroup. I've searched the net but I can't seem to find
answers to the following questions:
1st Ques: Ideally I would like the 2nd half of the UDF's [function
argument] box to provide additional information, like Excel's
integral functions. I definitely do not want to incorporate a help
file. Is it possible to add additional code to the UDF so a small
description is displayed?
They are for my own use so I don't want to go to the palaver of
learning how to do add-ins or produce help files.
2nd Ques: Is it possible to force Excel to list a recently used UDF in
the [recently used] category?
3rd Ques: What statement can I add to the beginning of a UDF code to
prevent it from being listed in the [user defined] box? Everything
I've tried makes the UDF unusable.
Personal opinion but the [Insert Function] box in Excel 98 & 2000 has a
much better user interface compared to the 2003 version, especially if
you're using lots of statistical functions in one session. The drop
down box for selecting a category and the tiny viewing area for the
[function names] are really inconvenient to use. (I know you can just
enter it directly in the formula bar, but sometimes I can't remember
the order of function arguments or I'm just too lazy). This leads me
to my last question:
4th Ques: Is there anything in Excel or Office options to change the
[Insert Function] interface to the 2000 model?
Regards
James
