How can I find the defination for a spreadsheet function? Thanks
 
Did you try the help menu in Excel?
or possibly Google?

also, if you hit the function button, it will bring up a list of all functions. Choose one, and it will explain the elements of the function.

If I wasn't Blue, I would just be a Dragon...
 

Thanks, I mean user defined function, somebody defined functions for calculate the value for a cell, I can't find the defination.
 


You're probably out of luck!

Post the macro code and maybe someone can figger it out for you.

I might be way of, but you're not looking for the VB editor, are you? Press [Alt] + [F11]. Doubleklick the module in the workbook that contains your function.

The VB code is displayed in there - select a line early in the code of your function, press [F9]. Toggle back to excel, press [F9] again - this will recalculate, and the break in the code (inserted by [F9]) will stop the execution of the code. Use [F8] to follow the calculation step-by-step.

It ain't as good as documentation, but it might help you to understand the function.

...or you can simply post the code here, as Skip wisely suggested... :)
