2. CODE
in Visual Basic Editor select insert new module
copy & paste the subceeding code:
Option Explicit
Sub ArraySeparators()
Dim strsep As String
'Set Application.International(xlColumnSeparator) = "\"
strsep = "Alternate Array Separator =" &
Application.International(xlAlternateArraySeparato r) & vbCrLf
strsep = strsep & "Column Separator =" &
Application.International(xlColumnSeparator) & vbCrLf
strsep = strsep & "Decimal Separator =" &
Application.International(xlDecimalSeparator) & vbCrLf
strsep = strsep & "List Separator =" &
Application.International(xlListSeparator) & vbCrLf
strsep = strsep & "Row Separator =" &
Application.International(xlRowSeparator) & vbCrLf
strsep = strsep & "Thousands Separator =" &
Application.International(xlThousandsSeparator) & vbCrLf
MsgBox (strsep)
End Sub
select Run to run the macro
3. CONCLUSION
Now you can see your separators in the message box. They are read-only which
probably means they can't be changed via Excel or Visual Basic Editor.
I have the English version of Excel 2003 Professional, but Croatian Regional
Settings
I have "Alternate Array Separator" set to @, and "Column Separator" set to
\. When I try to use them, Excel doesn't like them (The formula you typed
contains an error...).
Is it the end of the road?
Come on, you experts!
