Hello Folks,
I am trying to write a function that writes a code to calculate the volume of a cone. The function seems alright to me but when using it on excel I keep getting the error #NAME? . I know this must be very basic but can you please help me fixing this? The code is below...
Function vcone(r As Double, h As Double) As Double Dim pi As Double pi = 4 * Atn(1) vcone = 1 / 3 * pi * r ^ 2 * h End Function
Works for me. What do you get when you bring up the formula wizard?

It seems to be working now....I think I was using something that was defined in another module...Originally Posted by paulked

This works also
Option Explicit Function VolCone(r As Double, h As Double) As Double Dim Pie As Double Pie = Application.WorksheetFunction.pi VolCone = (1 / 3) * Pie * (r ^ 2) * h End Function
