Given the complexity of our cost function, it is desirable to custom
program the formula in Visual Basic and attach it to the Excel file. This has been
done in Marketing Focus.xls, with the resulting function, COST, being placed in the
list of functions under User Defined. Look in the formula bar for Cell E125 in the
sheet Functions of Marketing Focus.xls to see how the function is used.
To view the Visual Basic code for COST in Office 2007, click on the
Developer tab, then on Visual Basic. In earlier versions, click on
Tools/Macro/Visual Basic Editor. In the side bar, select VBAProjects (Marketing
Focus.xls), double click on Modules, then double click on Module1.

You are not expected to do any Visual Basic programming in Calculus for
Business Decisions. However, you will probably find it convenient to use the
function COST while working on your team’s project. To transfer the Cost function
from Marketing Focus.xls into another Excel file, open both files. Open Module1
(as directed above), click on its icon in the side bar under VBAProject (Marketing
Focus.xls) and drag the icon into the VBAProject side bar area of the new file.
You can also move modules containing macros or custom functions with
export/import. To do this, open the module, click on File/Export File, then select a
folder to contain a copy of the module. To attach the module to another Excel file,
open the Visual Basic Editor in that file, click on File/Import File, and open the
module.
