Without looking too close or testing:
1. is it in a REGULAR module. Will NOT work in sheet module
2. DataRange is asking for a range such as a1:b10
3. RefCell is asking for a cell such as b12
Hope this helps

How do I get this UDF to function correctly? I keep getting #name? in
the destination cell.
Thanks in advance.

' This User Defined Function can be called to calculate which Decile a
single cell
' falls within a larger range of cells
Public Function DECILE_RANK(DataRange, RefCell)

that you want to know the decile of)

'to use regularly paste it to your PERSONAL.xls workbook and reference
it via =PERSONAL.XLS!decile_rank(A5:A50,A5)

function when the worksheet is recalculated
