Using a function across multiple workbooks

Hi,

I have set up a code that starts in file A, opens file B, and runs code on the new file B.

However, I have set up a function in file A that i need to use in file B. the code all runs perfectly, however, the function doesn't seem to work in file B.

The function is used to get the date from the week number, and while it works in file A, I can't see it at all in file B.

How can I share a function across multiple workbooks?

Thanks! :)

RE: Using a function across multiple workbooks

Hi Orla

Thanks for getting in touch. Much like increasing the scope (visibility) of variables, you can do the same with functions.

Try prefixing your function with 'Public', e.g. Public Function MyFunct(x,y)...

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Viewing Many Worksheets

If there are more worksheets in your workbook than there is room to show all their tabs at the bottom of the screen - Right click on the navigation arrows. A list of all your worksheets is shown. You just click on the one that you want to access. If you have more than 15 worksheets, select in the list and choose your worksheet from hundreds.
