How does one add a help message/hint to a user defined function? The funtion
is created in Visual Basic in an Excel file.
 
This is called the tooptip and there is no direct way to create the same for
UDF with Excel VBA...

PS: After typing the =functionname hitting Ctrl+Shift+A will give you the
argument names displayed in the worksheet...()

Just to add a description to be viewed by the user in the function wizard you
can try the below..

--From VBE>press F2 Object Browser
--From librariees select VBAproject>From classes select the module which
contain the UDF and from members select the UDF
--Right click the UDF>properties>enter description which will be displayed
in the function wizard.
