User-defined function returning #ARG! error

[angolix3]

Hi,
I want to create function in visual basic and use it in excel. I have function which counts EAN13. I create function by: Developer/Visual Basic - create new module and paste code. Save as .xlsm. When I write "=ean13(123456789012)" it's not working, because it's displayed "#ARG!" instead of correct value. What did I do wrong?

This function:

Public Function ean13$(chaine$)
  'Cette fonction est regie par la Licence Generale Publique Amoindrie GNU (GNU LGPL)
  'This function is governed by the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL)
  'V 1.1.1
  'Parametres : une chaine de 12 chiffres
  'Parameters : a 12 digits length string
  'Retour : * une chaine qui, affichee avec la police EAN13.TTF, donne le code barre
  '         * une chaine vide si parametre fourni incorrect
  'Return : * a string which give the bar code when it is dispayed with EAN13.TTF font
  '         * an empty string if the supplied parameter is no good
  Dim i%, checksum%, first%, CodeBarre$, tableA As Boolean
  ean13$ = ""
  'Verifier qu'il y a 12 caracteres
  'Check for 12 characters
  If Len(chaine$) = 12 Then
    'Et que ce sont bien des chiffres
    'And they are really digits
    For i% = 1 To 12
      If Asc(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)) < 48 Or Asc(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)) > 57 Then
        i% = 0
        Exit For
      End If
    Next
    If i% = 13 Then
      'Calcul de la cle de controle
      'Calculation of the checksum
      For i% = 12 To 1 Step -2
        checksum% = checksum% + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1))
      Next
      checksum% = checksum% * 3
      For i% = 11 To 1 Step -2
        checksum% = checksum% + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1))
      Next
      chaine$ = chaine$ & (10 - checksum% Mod 10) Mod 10
      'Le premier chiffre est pris tel quel, le deuxieme vient de la table A
      'The first digit is taken just as it is, the second one come from table A
      CodeBarre$ = Left$(chaine$, 1) & Chr$(65 + Val(Mid$(chaine$, 2, 1)))

             tableA = True
           End Select
