If i put the following info into my worksheet it comes up
with a circular reference error.

Public Function PromptPayment()
MsgBox "Please issue Prompt Payment Letter"
End Function

then in cell G4 i input the following:-
=DAYS360(E4,F4)=IF(G4>15,PromptPayment(),"")

and if i just input this instead
=IF(G4>15,PromptPayment(),"")

I still get the same error.
any suggestions welcome.
i am not an expert in this field.

thanks

Hi
you can't insert this function in G4 as you can't have both: a value and a
formula in the same cell

Any suggestions on how to resolve this.

What exactly you want to do? Probably you can do it using data validation.

Hi

My worksheet has the following:-

In Cell B a received invoice date is input
In Cell C a received invoice date at cost center is input
In Cell D the following formula is input to calculate the
number of days =DAYS360(B4,C4)

What I am trying to achieve is if the number of days
calculated is over 15 staff have to issue a late invoice
letter.
So if I could get some sort of message to appear this
will ensure that this is done.

Thanks for your help

Maybe then conditional format will be enough for you!

P.e. with data starting from row 2, and possible number of filled rows
~1000, select p.e. the range A21000. From Format menu select Conditional
Formatting. Select 'Formula Is' and into formula field enter
=AND($D2>15,$D2<" ")
Click on Format button, select Pattern tab, and select cell background (p.e.
red) for case the number of days exceed 15. Now, whenever in range D21000
the formula returns a number>15, cells in columns A on this row are
colored red.

Hi
you may consider using
=C4-B4
instead unless you really want to calculate based on 360 days per year. To
show a message some solutions:
1. In E4 enter
=IF(D4>15,"Warning","")

2. Select D4
- goto 'Format - Conditional Format'
- choose 'Value is', select larger than 15 and choose your format

Hi
then this would only be possible using VBA. Not possible with formulas alone
