Hello,

In the past I've created an excel sheet with the intention to update
in internet cafe's when I'm on the road. This sheet uses formulas and
these are language dependent. Consequently, it often doesn't work as
usually only a local language version of excel is available.

What would be the best/easiest way to make this excelsheet language
independent?

I've been thinking about creating customised functions in a macro that
are identical to the standard functions. I've only an English version
available, so unfortunately I can't test it. Would this work?

Thanks in advance
Wilco
 
Hi Wilco,

If you use only standard, built-in Excel functions, translation (and
localisation) happens automatically. Problems occur when you use Analysis
Toolpak functions or other add-in packages (normally only Analysis Toolpak).
