A user-defined function is calculated multiple times in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows if the following conditions are true:
- The user-defined function is created in Visual Basic for Applications. -and-
- The user-defined function is inserted into the spreadsheet with the Function Wizard.
Note that this behavior does not occur if the user-defined function is entered directly in a cell in a worksheet.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use the Function Wizard to insert the custom function.
