Hi,

I want to create a UDF function that has one parameter that could be one of a few pre-defined values. A simple example:

- double GetStockQuote(string symbol, ExchangeEnumeration exchange)

Is it possible to have the user sel ect the 2nd parameter fr om a drop-down list?

Thanks for any help,

Ernst

Hi Ernst,

As far as I know, it isn't possible to do in the Excel UI. Besides, the UI allows the end user to bypass this by editing a formula in the Formula Bar. That is, you cannot make the user use any specific way.

But you can use a pane to simplify the way the user creates and inserts such a formula.
