Accessing Excel Functions through VBA
Functions that you can use in cells are not directly available though VBA, though through the Application object you can access them. For example there is no rounddown function in VBA. But you can access the excel rounddown function for use in your VBA code.
Code:
Sub test1()
Dim x As Double
x = 12.4342
MsgBox Application.WorksheetFunction.RoundDown(x, 2)
End Sub
