VBA User-defined functions in Office 365

Question

Some MS Office versions place restrictions on user-defined functions. Specifically, UDFs cannot write to the excel worksheet outside the cells that call the function .

My question: does this restriction apply in Office 365 as well?

Answer 1

The same restriction applies to all Office versions and editions. There were no breaking changes so far, especially for Office 365 applications.

Answer 2

You can change more than one cell if you use dynamic Spilling:

Public Function Stooges() As Variant
    Dim arr(1 To 3) As Variant
    
    arr(1) = "Larry"
    arr(2) = "Moe"
    arr(3) = "Curly"
    
    Stooges = arr
End Function

Note that in Excel 365, array-entry is not required.

Answer 3

Thanks everyone,

The answer is "No". Excel 365 allows more flexibility.

The answer by @Gary'sStudent led me to look for "spilling" and "dynamic arrays". These are featured that were added in Excel 365. Here are the references:
