    Hello hellowit,

    A User Defined Function or UDF can only return a value to the cell that called it. It can not change the value of another cell when invoked as an Excel formula. It can change another cell's value, depending on the code, if it is run in the Visual Basic Environment or VBE.
    Sincerely,

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
