Excel VBA Step Mode (F8) jumps to another VBA Function

I have an Excel Workbook with many VBA macros. I also have a VBA function called SpellNumber that I got from an Excel Forum. (I don't remember if it was this forum or a different forum.).

The SpellNumber function works great to convert a numeric value into written text. Just like the amount on a check in text format.

My problem is that while I'm working on a completely different macro, having nothing to do with that function, if I test my macro in Single Step Mode, as I continue to press the <F8> function key, it jumps to this SpellNumber VBA function. I don't know why, but it's very annoying.

The SpellNumber function is in a module all by itself, and has the text, Options Explicit at the very beginning.

Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening, and PLEASE tell me how I can prevent <F8> from suddenly jumping to a completely different VBA script?

Thank you.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Are you using the function Spellnumber in any cells/columns that you are selecting in your code that you are stepping through?
It would help if you post the code that you are stepping through with F8

No, not using SpellNumber Function in any cells/columns within my code.
Here is the code.

VBA Code: 
Sub DailyBalance()

    Dim var As Variant
    
    var = Range("Bank1!B15").Value
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
    Range("A11").End(xlDown).Select
    
    With Range(ActiveCell.Address)
        If Not IsDate(.Value) Then
        MsgBox "No date"
        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

        ElseIf .Value = var Then
        MsgBox ("Date is already = " & var)
        'MsgBox "Date is today"
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
        GoTo Process:
        
        Else
        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
        ActiveCell.Value = var
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
        GoTo Process:
        
        End If
    End With
Process:
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Check_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Savings_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BankA_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BankB_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BankC_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Cash_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TRP_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=FID_Balance"
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, -7).Select
    Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 7)).Select
    Selection.Copy
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas

    ActiveCell.Offset(0, -9).Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
    Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9)).Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9)).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:15"))
    
    Worksheets("Consolidation").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
End Sub

No, not are you using SpellNumber Function within the code, are you using it in any of the cells that your ranges and offsets refer to in the code as activating or selecting the cells could be triggering a recalculation of the formulas.

Also do you have the words Application.Volatile in the SpellNumber Function

Hi Mark858,
Thank you for your help and I will try to answer your questions as best as I can.

As per your first question, No, I don't think nor can I identify any of the cells that my ranges and offsets refer to in the code as activating or selecting the cells could be triggering a recalculation of the formulas.

Second question: No, the words Application.Volatile are not in the SpellNumber Function

Here is the SpellNumber Function incase you'd like to see it.

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

'Main Function
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
    Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
    Dim DecimalPlace, Count
    ReDim Place(9) As String
    Place(2) = "Thousand "
    Place(3) = "Million "
    Place(4) = "Billion "
    Place(5) = "Trillion "

    MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
    DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
    If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
        Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & _
                  "00", 2))
        MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
    End If
    Count = 1
    Do While MyNumber <> ""
        Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
        If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
        If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
            MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)

Thanks for your help, but I decided to simply remove the function =SpellNumber(C28) from the sheet whenever I want to run a macro in Step Mode.
Then, after I'm done working on my VBA Macro, I enter it back into the sheet.
