Call VBA function in another workbook from spreadsheet

Question

Here's the function definition:

Public Function StockQuote(strSymbol As String) As Double 

It's stored in a module in an already-loaded worksheet ("My Macros.xlsm", in my Startup folder).

I want to call it from another workbook, as a cell reference:

Workbook1.xlsm cell A1:

=StockQuote("AAPL")

But all i get are NAME errors.

Answer 1

=My Macros.xlsm!StockQuote("AAPL")

='C:\\SomeFolder\\My Macros.xlsm'!StockQuote("AAPL")

Work either.

But in order to work you shoud open the My Macros.xlsm workbook after Workbook1.xlsm, from the excel window of Workbook1.xlsm

Answer 2

尝试将包含该功能的XLSM工作簿另存为XLAM：打开XLAM时，其他工作簿应该能够看到您的UDF。

Answer 3

How about something like this.

It should run when the worksheet is activated and put the return value of your function in cell A1.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    Range("A1") = StockQuote("AAPL")
End Sub

You may need to structure it differently if the current worksheet can't see your function
