    Solved: Function help

    I am working on Functions, from lessons in a book. The following is not a lesson per say, but an example.

    [VBA]Function Addtwo(arg1, arg2)

    Dim Addtwo As Integer
    Addtwo = arg1 + arg2

    End Function[/VBA]

    To make this work, I realize I need to call it from a Sub. But where/how do I store the arguments?

    thanks,

    YLP

    Here are three simple examples. BTW you don't dim the function name within the function, or you'll get an error.

    [VBA] Sub test1()
    MsgBox Addtwo(1, 3)
    End Sub

    Sub Test2()
    ActiveSheet.Range("D1") = Addtwo(Range("A1"), Range("B1"))
    End Sub

    Sub Test3()
    Dim Cel As Range
    For Each Cel In Range(Cells(5, 1), Cells(20, 1))
    Cel.Offset(0, 3) = Addtwo(Cel, Cel.Offset(0, 1))
    Next
    End Sub

    Function Addtwo(arg1, arg2) As Long
    Addtwo = arg1 + arg2
    End Function[/VBA]

    and of course the arguments could also be Variable names with values assigned from the sub.

    Of Course....,
    Actually very good point-- something that I might not have thought about until later was faced w/ the scenario.
    Thanks for pointing that out.


    Best,
