What is the chr() function? Unfortunately, my programming experience it
limited to recording macros and trying to modify them slightly. If you give
me a hint, I can probably experiment and figure it out.

Can you build your string in japan using the chr() function? Obviously, I
didn't try it on my computer;)

I'm sharing an Excel 2007 file with coworkers in Japan. I use the indirect
function to build a formula based on several cells. The problem is, these
don't work on Japanese computers, so the formula results in #REF!

I was able to record a macro on a Japanese computer to translate from
English to Japanese:

Cells.Replace What:="[#Totals]", Replacement:="[#WŒv]", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

The WŒv looks like [#集計] on the Japanese computer. When I run the above
program, nothing happens. There are no warnings, etc. When I paste from the
Japanese macro into the Excel file, it also looks like WŒv.

How can I get the Japanese to be properly recognized?
