XL98: Custom Function Returns #VALUE! Error After Running Macro

• Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition

SYMPTOMS

If you call a user-defined (custom) function from a worksheet formula, and then run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro, the user-defined function may return the #VALUE! error.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if all of the following conditions are true:

• You create a custom function, and then call it from a worksheet formula.
  
  -and-



• The custom function uses the Text property for a Range object.
  
  -and-



• You run another Sub procedure (macro) that deletes a row in the worksheet.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the Value property instead of the Text property in the custom function.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the Text property or the Value property with a Range object. The Value property returns the actual underlying cell value, while the Text property returns the formatted value that is displayed in the cell.
