using Networkdays formula in French version of Excel options

[mel.pilgrim]

I have a spreadsheet that I have several references to the formula
'Networkdays'. The spreadsheet works great using the English version
of Excel however, I have collegues that use a French copy of Excel and
the spreadsheet does not function using that version of Excel.

In order to get the spreadsheet to work, I have to change all the
references in the spreadsheet from 'Networkdays' to 'NB.JOURS.OUVRES'
and then it will work.

Is there anyway I can set up the spreadsheet so that it will work in
both languages without having to re-write the formual for different
versions of Excel? Maybe a statement 'if Excel ver=French, use
NB.JOURS.OUVRES, if English use Networkdays'?
thx

ATP functions are not translated automatically. In Excel2007 they are an
integral part of Excel and are translated.
Most ATP functions cn be simulated using worksheet formuls; see

<would I have come up with the same problem if I'd tried to "code" a UDF and
then send that to Germany?>

Probably. But sometimes Excel and its international issues surprise me.

You can easily test that, I assume.
