    As per my understanding, What you are trying achieve here is all functions needs to executed from excel sheet.

     

    hence, you want to map the Unit thru script.

     

    If my understanding correct, Then there is no way to do that.

     

    But you can do below things in-order to get it worked,

    1. Create a common unit where you will using the Excel sheet functions to call the functions.

    2. And a all UNIT names that referenced in all functions which are going to execute.

    3.Then use below code as you already did.

     

     Execute unitName &"."&methodName

      A slightly more complicated way of doing things is turn each of your code units into a script extension runtime object.  You can then use aqObject.CallMethod to execute your code like so:

       

       

      aqObject.CallMethod(unitname, methodname)

        My recommendation is , You should USEUNIT in your scripts so you can avoid unwanted errors and make it trust-able scripts
