this formulas is in English ... what is it in German?
 

Hi Everyone

my laptop uses Excel 2003 English ... and my desktop Excel 2003 German.

This formula goes in cell b1 ...
it counts the number of times the character '@' appears in cell a1 ...

=len(a1)-len(substitute(a1,"@",""))

my question: how to write this formula in German for Excel 2003?

this is what I have tried so far:

=LÄNGE(A2)-LÄNGE(ERSETZEN(A2;"@";"";""))

unfortunately Excel doesn't like this and throws up the #WERT error message.

Can anyone help with a correction / alternative that will achieve the same
objective?

cheers,
Andrew

=LÄNGE(A2)-LÄNGE(WECHSELN(A2;"@";"";""))

hi Andrew

Why not open the workbook you create on your English laptop on your German Desktop
Excel will tranlate it for you then

I'm not sure I understand that comment ...
can you say it again with different words, please?

I tried looked for activecell.value in Excel help, but found no reference

cheers

If you go into the VBIDE (ALt-F11), and ensure that the immediate window is
open (Ctrl-G), and in there assign the formula to the activecell, in English
(always in English), like so

Activecell.Value = "=len(a1)-len(substitute(a1,""@"",""""))"

If you then go back to Excel (Alt-F11), the formula will be in the local
language, complete translation.
