Using Excel in different countries
 
I was in France was attempting to use an EXCEL spreadsheet.

As the computer in France uses the French language the spreadsheet is
converted, by EXCEL, into French. This works fine except that the function
'RANDBETWEEN' uses in several columns (eg column D in Raw Data Run 1 sheet)
did not translate and the spreadsheet did not function correctly.

By physically entering the cell and then clicking onto another cell it then
works (but this has to be done for very cell!).

Please can you advise how this spreadsheet can be used in France (and
possibly in other non-English areas).

Using Excel in different countries
 
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
I tried adding english to the Language settings but this does not seem to
work. Besides the problem happens because the functions are getting converted
into French except for 1 of them.

Unfortunatley I am not able to change the Keyboard settings as the computer
uses a French Keyboard.
Is there any way by which the the function conversion can be prevented?
Thanks in advance
