function problem ...

i don't really undertstand the basics about functions ... i tried making one for my program but i don't get the value i want ...

average = ((((mp1 + mp2 + mp3 + mp4) * 2) + (midt + final)) / 10)

Call test

lblyraverage.Caption = average & " " & "[" & letter & "]"

the letter value never comes up ... i just have the average
---by the way the line with "average" is one whole line ... n the variables r dimmed ... i just didn't copy those things to this thread

my function looks like this:

Public Function test()

Dim letter As String

Select Case average
Case Is >= 97
letter = "A+"
Case Is >= 93
letter = "A"
Case Is >= 90
letter = "A-"
Case Is >= 87
letter = "B+"
Case Is >= 83
letter = "B"
Case Is >= 80
letter = "B-"
Case Is >= 77
letter = "C+"
Case Is >= 73
letter = "C"
Case Is >= 70
letter = "C-"
Case Is >= 65
letter = "D"
Case Is >= 60
letter = "F"
Case Is >= 0
letter = "F-"
End Select

End Function

how come i don't get the letter value?

Have you tried an ELSE statement with other resulting letter in you SELECT?

Nearly there, You just missed out one line just before End Function you need to put

Code:

---

test = letter

---

this tells the function to return the value in letter.

no that didn't work ... i wonder y it won't give out the letter value ...

You wrote Select Case average Where did this "Avergae" come from? In order to use it in your Function, you must pass it through.

Code:

---

Public Function test(average)

    'Enter the rest of your code here...
    test = letter 'Return the letter

End Function

---

To call it, pass average through it. This should print out an -A

Code:

---

MyAverage = 92
RetVal = text (MyAverage)
Print RetVal

---
