Using english function names Excel with German user interface "xirx" <xirx[ at ]gmx.de> 08.09.2006 12:43:12 Hi! For some stupid reason, MS decided that a (e.g.) German version of Excel should not only have a German user interface (Menus, Online-Manuals/Help), but German function names as well. As I am used to use english function names, I am lost... Is there any way to get my German Excel to display functions with their english names? thx 4 your help / pointers.
