How to convert 32-bit VBA/Excel function so that it works in 64-bit VBA/Excel?

Hello,

I was using 32-bit Excel 2013 and had a workbook with a number of bespoke functions, some simple, some not so simple. However, after upgrading to 64-bit Office 365 all of my bespoke functions do not seem to be working.

Here is example code to work out the inverse of the tangent function (atan, or tan^-1)with the outputs in degrees, not radians. (Of course I know this can be done writing =DEGREES(ATAN(#)) instead, that is not really the point though... Creating a function called ATAND improves readability and is convenient, etc...)

VBA Code:
Function ATAND(Val) As Double
'*************************************************************************
' DESCRIPTION
'   This function performs trig but with outputs in degrees, not radians
'*************************************************************************
    Dim PI As Double
    PI = 4 * Atn(1)
    ATAND = 180 / PI * Atn(Val)
End Function

Please could you advise on how this function should be modified to work in 64-bit VBA? I note that all "Declare" statements should be preceded by PrtSafe, but there is no Declare statement above!

Many thanks.

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
This function doesn't require conversion as it doesn't make any API calls nor does it rely on any Bit-dependent data types.

OK thank you for your reply. It seems to be working now... no idea what caused the error in the first place!
