I've got a couple of user-defined functions that I coded in via one workbook (wkb A), but would like these functions to be accessible to any workbook (wkb B...Z). How is this done so that when I start a new blank wkb I can use these user-defined functions there as well?
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Save the file with the function with an xla extension. This will tell Excel that it's an add-in workbook. Then Select Tools > Add-Ins from the menu and browse to the xla file you saved. The function will now be available to all workbooks in Excel.

Thanks Ricky , you solved my problem...:) -jkmjalam

Hi Jay:
It worked with the ! preceded by the name of the workbook.xls -- I did not need to enclose the name of the workbook in []s.

THANKS!

Hi,

I tried workbook.xls!MyFunction(arg1,arg2) but it doesn't work!:(

Any help is appreciated.
