Hi forum

I was wondering if anyone know if it is possible to use a worksheet in a similar way as m-flies functions (Matlab) e.g. turn worksheet "alfa.xmcd" into a function which can be called from another worksheet?

Best regards Dan

Hello,

In main menu select "Insert" -> "Reference" and then choose your worksheet with prepared function:

Thanks Vladimir

The functionality I'm after isn't a single function in the worksheet, but the opportunity to use it as a function for an itterative analysis e.g. for monte carlo analysis which is seeded with random values every time the worksheet is called.

I've resently found out that the worksheet can be added as a scripted component (VBscript), but sofar I've only been able to assign a static value to the component output... I'm looking into this.

Btw. havn't written a single line of VBscript before, so if anyone know in advance that this is impossible to do with a scripted component, then please let me know

It used to be possible to do this with a scripted component in the worksheet with version 11, but not since then. It is still possible to do it with a scripted component in one worksheet calling another worksheet, if that would be an acceptable solution.
