Formula in Excel

=abc()

Explanation

The formula abc() is not a standard Excel formula. It seems to be a placeholder for a custom or user-defined function that should be created in Excel.

To create a custom function in Excel, you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). You would need to write a VBA macro for the desired functionality and then call that macro using a custom function name in a cell formula.

Example

If you want to create a custom function in Excel named abc() that concatenates two strings, you can follow these steps:

  1. Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
  2. Go to Insert -> Module to insert a new module.
  3. In the module window, write the following VBA code:
    Function abc(str1 As String, str2 As String) As String
        abc = str1 & " " & str2
    End Function
    
  4. Close the VBA editor.
  5. In an Excel cell, you can now use =abc("Hello", "World") to concatenate the two strings and display the result as "Hello World".

By following these steps, you can create custom functions in Excel to perform specific tasks that are not covered by built-in Excel functions.
