Excel VBA call function with variable name

Question

I\'m trying to call a function with a variable name that is generated at run time based upon a combo box value. This is straightforward in most languages but I can\'t seem

Answer 1

CallByName is what you'll need to accomplish the task.

example: Code in Sheet1

Option Explicit
Public Function Sum(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Long
    Sum = x + y
End Function

Code is Module1 (bas module)

Option Explicit

Sub testSum()
Dim methodToCall As String
methodToCall = "Sum"

MsgBox CallByName(Sheet1, methodToCall, VbMethod, 1, 2)
End Sub

Running the method testSum calls the method Sum using the name of the method given in a string variable, passing 2 parameters (1 and 2). The return value of the call to function is returned as output of CallByName.
