    call a UDF in a sub

    Hello,

    I have a UDF as
    PHP Code: 
    Function LastDay(DateUsed As Date) As String
        
            LastDay 
    Format(CDate(WorksheetFunction.EoMonth(DateUsed0)), "dd-mm-yy")
      
        
    End Function 
    which returns the last day of a month given a date. I need to use it in a sub:
    Range("F13") = LastDay(Range("D6"))

    but instead of a date, I need cell D6 to show the function =LastDay(D6), can someone please help?

    Re: call a UDF in a sub

    My understanding is that a Function returns a value, i.e. a number or a string. I'm not aware it returns a format as well. Hence there seems little point in including a format in the function.
    And in any case you presumably want a proper date number returned to excel. In which case I'd be onclined to format the cells in Excel first. Then the function is

    Function LastDay(DateUsed As Date) As Date
        LastDay = WorksheetFunction.EoMonth(DateUsed, 0)
        
    End Function

    and in a procedure

     Range("F13") = "=LastDay(d6)"
