Just to add to Barb's response...

Excel's VBA is USA centric. You can use that to your advantage.

Select an empty cell in a worksheet (not A3 or B3, though!)
hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window
type this and hit enter:

activecell.formula = "=mod(B3-A3,1)"

Then back to excel to see how it was translated.

=mod() shouldn't cause an error.

My first guess...

If you look at the column headers, do you see A, B, C, ...
or do you see 1, 2, 3, ...

If you see numbers, try changing this:
tools|Options|General Tab|uncheck R1C1 reference style

And reenter the formula.

Or maybe =mod() is called a different name. Do you use an English
version of
excel?

If not, maybe this will help:
