Multi-sheet range references
Does Excel support passing them to UDFs?

I am asking here about this kind of reference which is common for a handful of Excel built-ins:

=SUM('Grill5-01:Grill5-08'!B5)

Can such a "3D reference" be consumed in a UDF in Add-in Express? It seems supported at most by a handful of Excel built-ins, and my experience (read: experiments) with VBA and ExcelDNA suggests the answer is "no." VBA sees such a range as Variant/Error 2015, and ExcelDNA reports any such argument as ExcelError.

Can Add-in Express handle such input, or is it simply not possible?

Hello Bob,

The Excel object model doesn't support such 3D references.
