Very weird error
The following code is working for everyone but me:
=IF(MOD((i_LoadHeavy*2),3)0, TEXT((i_LoadHeavy*2)/3,"###.#"),(i_LoadHeavy*2)/3) This code is part of a worksheet used by many and developed by some guy on the internet. When I try to load this worksheet into my Excel 2003 I get complaints from the program. On the codeline above, the program says the comma in the MOD function is wrong and that the commas in the TEXT function is wrong. If the commas are replaced by a semicolon it works fine. This, even though the help files say a comma is perfectly fine. The program also complains about the format: "###.#" for the TEXT function. If I replace the dot with a comma it works. Why does this line of code work for every other use of this worksheet but not for me? Why are my functions seemingly different from others? I have removed and reinstalled Office, but to no avail. I am using Windows XP and Office 2003. Any ideas? |

Yours are set differently than the others. --ron |

Thanks for helping out Ron, that solved my problem.
Is there anything the developer can do to make this work no matter what regional settings a user has? |

I don't know enough about that sort of thing to answer. Perhaps he could avoid the TEXT function by formatting the cell appropriately. Or perhaps he could detect the locality using VBA and change various formulas accordingly. --ron |

I would assume that your Regional Options need changing back to English(US). Semi-colons and commas for decimal points are a European thing, I believe. StartControl PanelRegional and Language Options. Check your settings here. Also check settings under Excel ToolsOptionsInternational for decimal seperator.
