SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, cells that contain formulas that
refer to user-defined functions may return a #VALUE! error after you run a
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro or perform any action that
causes the worksheet that contains the formulas to be recalculated.
CAUSE
These problems may occur if an error occurs in a user-defined function
while the worksheet is recalculated.
WORKAROUNDMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.aspTo work around this problem, press COMMAND+SHIFT+F9 to force the values to be recalculated. When you do this, any formulas that refer to user-defined functions are recalculated correctly. To prevent this problem from occurring, add error-handling code to your user-defined function, as in the following example:
In this user-defined function, the line "On Error GoTo ErrorHandler" causes
the function to continue if an error occurs. In this case, the error-
handling code causes the function to return a value of "error", instead of
"yes" or "no" or #VALUE!. After the formulas return "error", press
COMMAND+SHIFT+F9 to recalculate the worksheet.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if a user-defined function returns
an error value, the formula that called the user-defined function and any
other formulas that call the same user-defined function may fail to be
recalculated properly. When this happens, the formulas may return a #VALUE!
error.
