I am in the process of moving from an old XP machine and Excel 2007 to a brand new and infuriatingly frustrating Surface Book Pro running Win 10 and Office 2016.

I just copied over a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm) that works just fine on my XP machine. It has just one little UDF in a code module. On Excel 2016, that UDF gets a #NAME ? error.

I suspect this has to do with the security settings, but I cannot figure out which one to turn on or off.

Help!!!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
