Running a function with a macro

[williamvarah]

I want to be able to link a macro to an icon in excel so that I can run a function that I have in excel visual basic. I'm trying to use runcode to do this but it's not working. The code for the function is as follows:

Function ConvertCurrencyToUK(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Temp
Dim Pounds, Pence
Dim DecimalPlace, count

ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "

' Convert MyNumber to a string, trimming extra spaces.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))

' Find decimal place.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")

' If we find decimal place...
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
' Convert pence
Temp = Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)
Pence = ConvertTens(Temp)

' Strip off pence from remainder to convert.
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If

count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
' Convert last 3 digits of MyNumber to English pounds.
Temp = ConvertHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Pounds = Temp & Place(count) & Pounds
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
' Remove last 3 converted digits from MyNumber.
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
count = count + 1
Loop

' Clean up pounds.
Select Case Pounds
Case ""
Pounds = "No Pounds"
Case "One"
Pounds = "One Pound"
Case Else
Pounds = Pounds & " Pounds"
End Select

' Clean up Pence.
Select Case Pence
Case ""
Pence = " and No Pence"
Case "One"
Pence = " and One Penny"
Case Else
Pence = " and " & Pence & " Pence"
End Select

ConvertCurrencyToUK = Pounds & Pence
End Function



Private Function ConvertHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Result As String

' Exit if there is nothing to convert.
If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function

' Append leading zeros to number.
MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)

' Do we have a hundreds place digit to convert?
If Left(MyNumber, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = ConvertDigit(Left(MyNumber, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If

' Do we have a tens place digit to convert?
If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = Result & ConvertTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
Else
' If not, then convert the ones place digit.
Result = Result & ConvertDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
End If

ConvertHundreds = Trim(Result)
End Function



Private Function ConvertTens(ByVal MyTens)
Dim Result As String

' Is value between 10 and 19?
If Val(Left(MyTens, 1)) = 1 Then
Select Case Val(MyTens)
Case 10: Result = "Ten"
Case 11: Result = "Eleven"
Case 12: Result = "Twelve"
Case 13: Result = "Thirteen"
Case 14: Result = "Fourteen"
Case 15: Result = "Fifteen"
Case 16: Result = "Sixteen"
Case 17: Result = "Seventeen"
Case 18: Result = "Eighteen"
Case 19: Result = "Nineteen"
Case Else
End Select
Else
' .. otherwise it's between 20 and 99.
Select Case Val(Left(MyTens, 1))
Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
Case 4: Result = "Forty "
Case 5: Result = "Fifty "
Case 6: Result = "Sixty "
Case 7: Result = "Seventy "
Case 8: Result = "Eighty "
Case 9: Result = "Ninety "
Case Else
End Select

' Convert ones place digit.
Result = Result & ConvertDigit(Right(MyTens, 1))
End If

ConvertTens = Result
End Function



Private Function ConvertDigit(ByVal MyDigit)
Select Case Val(MyDigit)
Case 1: ConvertDigit = "One"
Case 2: ConvertDigit = "Two"
Case 3: ConvertDigit = "Three"
Case 4: ConvertDigit = "Four"
Case 5: ConvertDigit = "Five"
Case 6: ConvertDigit = "Six"
Case 7: ConvertDigit = "Seven"
Case 8: ConvertDigit = "Eight"
Case 9: ConvertDigit = "Nine"
Case Else: ConvertDigit = ""
End Select
End Function



OK - so it works when I run it directly from the function list. How can I get this to run as a macro? I'm a complete novice when it comes to programming so you'll have to speak in words of one syllable so to speak!

hi
usually functions and/or subs will not start all by themselves and also in Exel, not by filling a cell.
So you need to create a button (right mousebutton over the menubar and select ' visual basic ')

from the next screen, select toolbox and designmode
then draw a button somewhere, give it a name like ' cmdConvert'
even may suppress the button getting printed... etc
after that doubleclick the button (still in designmode) to enter the code
have your function started from inside the created Private Sub
