How can I force Excel to resubmit (re-execute) a function?
If I create a function foo() in VBA, and have a cell's value assigned to that function (ie enter =foo() as the cell's value), is it possible to make excel re-execute the function, and if so, how? I want to avoid having to edit the cell's value and hit enter. I know that I can hit F2 and then Enter; but this is effectively "edit" and then "submit". Is there a way to just "submit" with just one keystroke?
Thank you.
Edit: I am using Excel 2016.

Press F9 to force recalc (I think. Memory is going in my old age).

Excel normally only recalculates functions when one or more of their input parameters change. =FOO() does not have any parameters. You can force FOO to recalculate at every recalculation by adding Application.Volatile, but mostly that is a bad idea. The real question is: what are you actually trying to do?
