User Defined Function Revisited giving #VALUE!

I have recently opened a User Defined Function I explored several months ago and have found that it does not want to return output in its current standing.

After inserting the User Defined Function in a random cell on a worksheet and inputting data ranges and other values to specify the type of output, I receive #VALUE ! errors in all cells. This continues to occur when I enter the index function before the logit function like

=INDEX(PERSONAL.XLS!Logit(B2:B2919,F2:K2919,0.5,TRUE,TRUE),ROW(O1),COLUMN(O1))

I am not sure what is causing the output to return #VALUE !. Any ideas?

I posted at this link some time ago with similar troubles.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
here is the UDF code

I am now able to generate correct output values in the first column of the output array. All cells in the output array except for those in the first column are now returning the"#VALUE!" error.

I have reviewed the data being used as inputs for integer values and they seem to be OK.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Got it, I was able to receive successful output when highlighting the range of cells used in the output values. I highlighted the range of cells (7 columns and 27 rows) and then insert the function as usual using ctrl+shift+enter. The time it took to calculate the output was much faster than it was using the =INDEX based output expansion approach. Hope this helps!
