Hello enesg,

The issue occurs because Excel doesn't provide support for Int64; you can see this at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/excel/data-types-used-by-excel. That page contains a table that maps a data type used by your XLL function to a symbol (such as A, L, B, or E). Behind the scenes, Add-in Express uses the information from this table to provide Excel with a supported function description. The exception is raised because Int64 (= Long in VB.NET) isn't listed in that table. Try to declare these parameters and the return value as Integer.
