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 |

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 Andrew "Bob Phillips" wrote: or enter it in English in the immediate window as an activecell.value -- |

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. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Andrewsan" wrote in message ... hallo Bob I'm not sure I understand that comment ... can you say it again with different words, please?
