Overview
In Creating Custom Functions in Excel, Excel expert Patricia McCarthy illustrates how to create a custom function (sometimes called a user-defined function) in Excel. A custom function is a calculation that the user creates and names. This custom function is then stored in Excel and can be recalled whenever it is needed. In this course, we will be using the Visual Basic Editor and VBA keywords; however, this is not a VBA- or programming-specific course. Instead, we’ll work together to create custom functions and then create an Add-In file so that these functions can be used in all your workbooks.
