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
