How to check sheet text for UNICODE?
Hello,
How to check programmatically if the text used in spreadsheet is ANSI or UNICODE? Are there are some Excel properties that indicate that? Thanks, Jack |

How to check sheet text for UNICODE?
To explain more.
I use Windows XP PRO English version. Someone sent me the Excel spreadsheet, which has text written in Hebrew and sheet's columns start from right to left (I guess the same is regarding the text). Looks like everything is in reverse comparing with regular English sheet. What I need to know is how to programmatically find out that the opened sheet is not English?

How to check sheet text for UNICODE?
Jack:
I don't know squat about unicode, so these are guesses. StrConv has a couple of unicode options, but I couldn't get them to work. You may want to play around with it and see if you can make something useful out of it. I tried ?activecell.text = StrConv(activecell.text, vbUnicode) but it always returns false. Another option I thought of was doing a Find. You could do a Find for several different unicode characters. ?sheet1.Cells.Find(ChrW$(&H6C49),,xlvalues,xlwhole ) is nothing I put a unicode character in a cell and did this find. I got false. If you get true, that character doesn't exist. False means it does. I hope you get something useful out of it. On Fri, 1 Aug 2008 14:04:11 -0400, "Jack" <replyto@it wrote: To explain more.
