User-Defined Function Unusual Operation, Again

[Joe Adams]

Follow-up of 10-Jul discussion. Please Help me again
(especially Charles of Decision Models).
I know I have missed something fundimental, again.

The UDF worked on the 11th but not today?? - so I have
added some additional error handleing code, to no avail.

Symptom - the UDF gives me a #Value! error if I double
click to edit a cell with the UDF, do nothing, and hit a
return. All other cells which have the UDF return #Name? .

I have a variable range, rng_FormsList, which I would like
to sort actively within the worksheet.
I call the function (listed below) with a range string and
a positional element number to return that is located in a
reference cell:

=SortListElem("rng_FormsList",$G14)
where,
rng_FormsList = OFFSET('Unique Lists'!$V$11,0,0,
COUNTIF('Unique Lists'!$V:$V,">"""),1)
and say $G14 = 4

Note: To assure that I do not ask for an element larger
than the length of the range I have an if statement check
for validity.

Therefore, the formula in cell W14 is:
=IF($G14>$N$9,"",
SortListElem("rng_FormsList",$G14))

Now, I copy this formula to cells W15:W25.

RESULT: See above symtoms.

During debugging, I do not get any values passed to the
intermediate window through the Debug.Print statements.

Any Ideas???

Thanks for your help in advance,

Joe Adams

Hi Joe,

You should be using
=SortListElem(rng_FormsList,$G14)
not
=SortListElem("rng_FormsList",$G14)
