I use Excel 2003. I have received a spreadsheet from a German colleague in
which they have inputted formulas in German, and example of which is:

=XINTZINSFUSS

My version of excel will not calculate these formulas as it does not
recognize them. I have looked around and discovered that I should be able to
rememby this by enabling German Language support. I enabled this using the
office 2003 language tools following instructions from microsoft.com but this
has not helped, the formula's are still not recognized.

Can someone please let me know how I can rememdy this?

Hi,

Maybe you have to enable the Analysis Tool Pak.

If that's really what's in the cell, it doesn't look like a worksheet function
(no paretheses).

Maybe you can see it under
insert|name|define

You may want to get Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew
Henson) Name Manager:

You can find it at:
NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp

It'll make working with names much, much easier.



If it really looked like:
=XINTZINSFUSS()
or
=XINTZINSFUSS(somethingelsehere)

Then never mind.

======
And if KeepItCool's utility didn't help, could it be a user defined function
(written by the developer in VBA).

Hi all
I belive that

=XINTZINSFUSS()

Is the german version of

XIRR()

So maybe the conversion kits do not cover the atp ?

Hi Bondi,

So maybe the conversion kits do not cover the atp ?

From KeepITcool's web notes:
'---------------------------------
Version 3.
ADDED a routine to "localize" Analysis Toolpak functions from a "foreign"
file to local language.
'---------------------------------

Additionally, if I ask the utility to give me the German equivalent of
XIRR(), the response is XINTZINSFUSS()

Hi Norman,

Well.. my bad. I could not really be bothered to install the thingy..
Just an idea.

Hi,
I have the same issue. German .xls file with XINTZINSFUSS formula on english
version of Excel2003. Anyway, I have the Microsoft Office 2003 Multi-lingual
User Interface Pack (German MUI) installed and even did the update to Service
Pack 1 for that which is available on the support.microsoft.com page.
Still, that does not do the trick. It appears that this formula was
unfortunately not translated and since we are talking about Excel 2003 I do
not expect a translation for this.

As a workaround you can do a global find and replace as the German
XINTZINSFUSS is the equivalent of the english XIRR.

I am using a company PC and since i like my job I will not install any 3rd
party tools which convert or upgrade my Excel. The risk is just too big.
