Hi,

I have the following code:

VBA Code:
Function get_Date()

get_Date() = Date

End Function

Sub test2()

this = get_Date()


End Sub

When I run it, I got the error message:

VBA Code:
Run-time error '28':
Out of stack space

Could someone please help?

thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
VBA Code:
get_Date() = Date
This creates a recursive call to get_Date, which goes on forever until you run out of stack space.

The correct way to return a value from a function is to use the function name with no parens. Do this:
VBA Code:
get_Date = Date
