    Cool Format Functions Excel Add-in!

    VBAX has always been graced by such giving members. Well one of our members in particular is no exception. Graham Paramore, aka parry, has developed an Excel Add-in of some very useful functions that he wrote. He has graciously given VBAX permission to host this add-in for him and let everyone download it for free!

    It is located on our Cool Tools page. The add-in comes complete with it's own Help files and 15 Format functions, which are available for view (after installation - excluding help file) via the Function Wizard (Insert | Function | Format Functions), including but not limited to: FONTCOLOR, ISBOLD, ISITALIC, ISLOCKED, ISMERGED, ISUPPER, FONTSIZE, ISWRAP, NUMBERFORMAT, etc. These can be used as regular functions or even in an array formula!

    I'd like to extend a very special thank you to Graham for sharing such a wonderful piece of work with VBAX! Thank you!!! I hope everyone can reap the benefits of this add-in; it certainly has made my work-load much less.

    Thanks xld! The tool's great!
    however, i got a question. If i sent the xls file that i'm working on via e-mail to another person, without sending the xla add-in, Will the function still work.

    I'm working on a project right now and this add-in, i'm sure will be used quite extensively, just wondering though.

    Anyways... this page will definately be revisited over n over again, so thank you all in advance for all the help soon to be rendered.

    regards

    Sorry, didn't see this right away. I updated this a few weeks ago and missed the correct case spelling. The link is now fixed and working.

    That is true. The help files did not work on my computer with Vista. But the rest of the add-in is A+. Good job.

    I would have called it brilliant.
    But that would be an understatement.
