» Worksheet functions in VBA macros using VBA in Microsoft Excel

VBA macro tip contributed by Erlandsen Data Consulting* offering Microsoft Excel Application development, template customization, support and training solutions*

CATEGORY: Custom Functions , Printing in VBA	VERSIONS: All Microsoft Excel Versions

Almost all of the built-in worksheet functions can be used in macros.
If you have a non-English version of Excel you have to remember to use the English function names,
and that the separator sign between the function arguments always is a comma (,).
If you don't know the English function name, record a macro while you enter the function the usual way in a cell,
in the registered macro the function name will be translated to English.
When you are going to use a worksheetfunction in a macro you also have to include the Application-object.

In Excel97 you use the object Application.WorksheetFunction. Examples:

MyTotal = Application.Sum(Range("A1:A100"))
' returns the total of the values in A1:A100 in the active worksheet.

MyTotal = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range("A1:A100"))
' the same formula for Excel 97.
