    Adding Message Prompts

    Hi,

    One of my colleagues wrote a new function and I'm trying to add some prompts to the function. For example, when you begin typing =SUM it shows a message box in Excel that says:

    "Adds all the numbers in a range of cells"

    I need one that says "Returns the Point-Biserial product moment correlation coefficient, rpbi"

    Also, as soon as the open parenthesis is added to a function then you get hints for the values that go in each spot.

    =SUM( has a prompt that says "SUM(number1, [number2], ...)"
    I need one that says "point_biserial(biserial_array, continuous_array, [success_value],[nonsuccess_value])"

    How do I create these for my function? Thank you for all your help!! Let me know if I need to send you the VBA.

    Thanks!!

    Hello John Bates,

    Excel provides that functionality only for built-in Excel functions but not UDFs (User Defined Functions).
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.
