Hello everyone,

I have searched High and low for a UDF that works, but I am struggling.

I am working with a schedule that spans for several years down the page - names at the top - dates down the left. (located in "Edit schedule here" worksheet) I have created a worksheet that functions like a monthly calender that uses vlookup to populate from the "Edit schedule here" worksheet. (Excel 2003)

I am looking for a way to vlookup cell contents, color formats and cell comments.

Currently this is the Vlookup I am using which works quite well for cell contents.
=VLOOKUP(B$4,Sched,COLUMN('Edit schedule here'!$B$5)+MATCH($A6,'Edit schedule here'!$E$5:$X$5,0))

Any help in creating a vlookupallexceptboarders UDF, or something like that would be great. ( I have read about UDF's, but never actually used one)

The cell comments are the most important, but why not shoot for the moon!

Any help would be great,

Luke

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I just figured out that this cannot be done with a UDF. I still havn't figured out a VB solution.
