  • May 11, 2005  Hi, I created a custom function using VBA in Excel. The function name is used in a spreadsheet and (i) pulls numbers from 2 different cells, (ii) passes them as arguments to the function, and then (iii) display a result with the value returned by the function. However, when the values of the 2 'sources cells' change, the result shown in the cell with the function doesn't update automatically.

Although Excel includes a multitude of built-in worksheet functions, chances are it doesn’t have a function for every type of calculation you perform. The designers of Excel couldn’t possibly anticipate every user's calculation needs. Instead, Excel provides you with the ability to create custom functions, which are explained in this article.

Are you looking for information on how to create a Javascript Custom Function that you can run on Excel for Windows, Excel for Mac, or Excel for the web? If you are, see the article Excel Custom Functions overview.

Creating a simple custom function

Custom functions, like macros, use the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language. They differ from macros in two significant ways. First, they use Function procedures instead of Sub procedures. That is, they start with a Function statement instead of a Sub statement and end with End Function instead of End Sub. Second, they perform calculations instead of taking actions. Certain kinds of statements, such as statements that select and format ranges, are excluded from custom functions. In this article, you’ll learn how to create and use custom functions. To create functions and macros, you work with the Visual Basic Editor (VBE), which opens in a new window separate from Excel.

Suppose your company offers a quantity discount of 10 percent on the sale of a product, provided the order is for more than 100 units. In the following paragraphs, we'll demonstrate a function to calculate this discount.

The example below shows an order form that lists each item, quantity, price, discount (if any), and the resulting extended price.

To create a custom DISCOUNT function in this workbook, follow these steps:

  1. Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (on the Mac, press FN+ALT+F11), and then click Insert > Module. A new module window appears on the right-hand side of the Visual Basic Editor.

  2. Copy and paste the following code to the new module.

Note: To make your code more readable, you can use the Tab key to indent lines. The indentation is for your benefit only, and is optional, as the code will run with or without it. After you type an indented line, the Visual Basic Editor assumes your next line will be similarly indented. To move out (that is, to the left) one tab character, press Shift+Tab.

Using custom functions

Now you’re ready to use the new DISCOUNT function. Close the Visual Basic Editor, select cell G7, and type the following:

=DISCOUNT(D7,E7)

Excel calculates the 10 percent discount on 200 units at $47.50 per unit and returns $950.00.

In the first line of your VBA code, Function DISCOUNT(quantity, price), you indicated that the DISCOUNT function requires two arguments, quantity and price. When you call the function in a worksheet cell, you must include those two arguments. In the formula =DISCOUNT(D7,E7), D7 is the quantity argument, and E7 is the price argument. Now you can copy the DISCOUNT formula to G8:G13 to get the results shown below.

Let’s consider how Excel interprets this function procedure. When you press Enter, Excel looks for the name DISCOUNT in the current workbook and finds that it is a custom function in a VBA module. The argument names enclosed in parentheses, quantity and price, are placeholders for the values on which the calculation of the discount is based.

The If statement in the following block of code examines the quantity argument and determines whether the number of items sold is greater than or equal to 100:

If the number of items sold is greater than or equal to 100, VBA executes the following statement, which multiplies the quantity value by the price value and then multiplies the result by 0.1:

Excel Vba Function Example

Discount = quantity * price * 0.1

The result is stored as the variable Discount. A VBA statement that stores a value in a variable is called an assignment statement, because it evaluates the expression on the right side of the equal sign and assigns the result to the variable name on the left. Because the variable Discount has the same name as the function procedure, the value stored in the variable is returned to the worksheet formula that called the DISCOUNT function.

If quantity is less than 100, VBA executes the following statement:

Discount = 0

Finally, the following statement rounds the value assigned to the Discount variable to two decimal places:

Discount = Application.Round(Discount, 2)

VBA has no ROUND function, but Excel does. Therefore, to use ROUND in this statement, you tell VBA to look for the Round method (function) in the Application object (Excel). You do that by adding the word Application before the word Round. Use this syntax whenever you need to access an Excel function from a VBA module.

Understanding custom function rules

A custom function must start with a Function statement and end with an End Function statement. In addition to the function name, the Function statement usually specifies one or more arguments. You can, however, create a function with no arguments. Excel includes several built-in functions—RAND and NOW, for example—that don’t use arguments.

Following the Function statement, a function procedure includes one or more VBA statements that make decisions and perform calculations using the arguments passed to the function. Finally, somewhere in the function procedure, you must include a statement that assigns a value to a variable with the same name as the function. This value is returned to the formula that calls the function.

Using VBA keywords in custom functions

The number of VBA keywords you can use in custom functions is smaller than the number you can use in macros. Custom functions are not allowed to do anything other than return a value to a formula in a worksheet, or to an expression used in another VBA macro or function. For example, custom functions cannot resize windows, edit a formula in a cell, or change the font, color, or pattern options for the text in a cell. If you include “action” code of this kind in a function procedure, the function returns the #VALUE! error.

The one action a function procedure can do (apart from performing calculations) is display a dialog box. You can use an InputBox statement in a custom function as a means of getting input from the user executing the function. You can use a MsgBox statement as a means of conveying information to the user. You can also use custom dialog boxes, or UserForms, but that’s a subject beyond the scope of this introduction.

Documenting macros and custom functions

Even simple macros and custom functions can be difficult to read. You can make them easier to understand by typing explanatory text in the form of comments. You add comments by preceding the explanatory text with an apostrophe. For example, the following example shows the DISCOUNT function with comments. Adding comments like these makes it easier for you or others to maintain your VBA code as time passes. If you need to make a change to the code in the future, you’ll have an easier time understanding what you did originally.

An apostrophe tells Excel to ignore everything to the right on the same line, so you can create comments either on lines by themselves or on the right side of lines containing VBA code. You might begin a relatively long block of code with a comment that explains its overall purpose and then use inline comments to document individual statements.

Another way to document your macros and custom functions is to give them descriptive names. For example, rather than name a macro Labels, you could name it MonthLabels to describe more specifically the purpose the macro serves. Using descriptive names for macros and custom functions is especially helpful when you’ve created many procedures, particularly if you create procedures that have similar but not identical purposes.

How you document your macros and custom functions is a matter of personal preference. What’s important is to adopt some method of documentation, and use it consistently.

Making your custom functions available anywhere

To use a custom function, the workbook containing the module in which you created the function must be open. If that workbook is not open, you get a #NAME? error when you try to use the function. If you reference the function in a different workbook, you must precede the function name with the name of the workbook in which the function resides. For example, if you create a function called DISCOUNT in a workbook called Personal.xlsb and you call that function from another workbook, you must type =personal.xlsb!discount(), not simply =discount().

You can save yourself some keystrokes (and possible typing errors) by selecting your custom functions from the Insert Function dialog box. Your custom functions appear in the User Defined category:

An easier way to make your custom functions available at all times is to store them in a separate workbook and then save that workbook as an add-in. You can then make the add-in available whenever you run Excel. Here’s how to do this:

WindowsmacOS
  1. After you have created the functions you need, click File > Save As.

    In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and click Save As

  2. In the Save As dialog box, open the Save As Type drop-down list, and select Excel Add-In. Save the workbook under a recognizable name, such as MyFunctions, in the AddIns folder. The Save As dialog box will propose that folder, so all you need to do is accept the default location.

  3. After you have saved the workbook, click File > Excel Options.

    In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and click Excel Options.

  4. In the Excel Options dialog box, click the Add-Ins category.

  5. In the Manage drop-down list, select Excel Add-Ins. Then click the Go button.

  6. In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box beside the name you used to save your workbook, as shown below.

  1. After you have created the functions you need, click File > Save As.

  2. In the Save As dialog box, open the Save As Type drop-down list, and select Excel Add-In. Save the workbook under a recognizable name, such as MyFunctions.

  3. After you have saved the workbook, click Tools > Excel Add-Ins.

  4. In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the Browse button to find your add-in, click Open, then check the box beside your Add-In in the Add-Ins Available box.

After you follow these steps, your custom functions will be available each time you run Excel. If you want to add to your function library, return to the Visual Basic Editor. If you look in the Visual Basic Editor Project Explorer under a VBAProject heading, you will see a module named after your add-in file. Your add-in will have the extension .xlam.

Double-clicking that module in the Project Explorer causes the Visual Basic Editor to display your function code. To add a new function, position your insertion point after the End Function statement that terminates the last function in the Code window, and begin typing. You can create as many functions as you need in this manner, and they will always be available in the User Defined category in the Insert Function dialog box.
