Not on my machine (International English) =TEXT(Value,Format_Text) works fine. Didn't know that regional settings affected formulas?

Shame that doesn't extend to the USCentric VBA, still...thanks for the note...logged -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Roger Govier" wrote in message ... Hi Nick Yes this is the case. I have often seen cases where the OP says a solution posted by one of us using either US or UK settings does not work for them. The semicolon versus the comma as a separator is usually the "culprit". Amending the formulae to use whatever their local regional separator is inevitable solves the problem. -- Regards Roger Govier "Nick Hodge" wrote in message ...
