Functions

How do you create functions that can be used across all of your workbooks and can be shared with other users?

RE: Functions

Hi Jane

The best way to create functions to be used accross all your workbooks and to share is to create all the functions in a new workbook and then save it as an Excel Add-In file. To do this:

1. Create all the Functions in a new empty Workbook

2. When all the functions have been created save the workbook as a Microsoft Office Excel Add-In. It gets saved in the Add-Ins folder of your system:

Documents And Settings/..../Application Data/Microsoft/AddIns

3. Send the Add-in workbook you created to all your colleagues and have them save it in their Add-Ins folder (similar to the above path)

4. When the file has been saved in the folder open excel and click Tools / Add-Ins

5. The new Add-In file appears in the list

6. Tick the box to activate the Add-In file and click OK

The functions you created will be added to the functions list under User Defined.

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
