Default Where can I find the Function names in other languages

Hi Bill,

how is there a GIF attachment on this post?


I do not know. I never (intentionally) add attachments, and had either of
the reponses from Niek or Tom been visible to me, I would not have not have
added my voice.

The file was not viewable to me, by the way.

I have a function that searches on a string that makes up a function name
say
"=IF(". Now lets assumed that I can do this perfectly, ignoring any
string
search shortfalls of VBA (I know I can use Regular Expressions too).

If I am doing this in a version of Excel that is not English say French,
the
IF Statment will likely not be the english IF. As such a search for
"IF(" in
a french version - or any other version - of windows is not likely to
be
productive. If I wanted to build a search function that looked for
"IF(" in
every language version of Excel, what would be the best way of doing
this?
Would I:

1) create a sub that recognises what language version I am in, then pass
the
correct function spelling for that function in that langauge to a
variable
and search on it
2) Or are the functions just simply backed by a general library that can
be
referenced (say a ref number that is common to all IF statments in all
languages versions of Excel?

If need be where can I get the function names across all languages?


Thanks
