User Defined Function: Format Output

[Kenny]

If i am using a user defined function (VBA code)

i.e.

Function TestFunc(Input Variables etc...) As Variant

'Code here

TestFunc = "Result of Code"

End Function

How is cell formatting applied similar to the way the
excel function PMT() changes format to red if output value
is negative.

 

[Bob Phillips]

That is done in the cell format.

But how is it done automatically from a user defined excel
function?

 

[Jerry W. Lewis]

A VBA function called from a worksheet can only return a value, it
cannot modify the environment in any way. In particular, it cannot
change cell formats.

So how is cell formatting applied when using the excel
finance function PMT()?

 

[Jerry W. Lewis]

PMT() is not a VBA function. Not everything that Excel can do is
exposed for developer use.
