Hello,

I was trying to change the language for my Excel workbook and encountered a problem. If I just change the language from Dutch to English in the settings menu I have to choose to make it the default language, but is there a way to just change it for that particular workbook? If I choose to make it the default language all of my Microsoft Office products change languages (I'd like to keep Microsoft Word Dutch and Excel English).

Thanks for replying,

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

You can set up a word dictionary of your spreadsheet, one in Dutch and or in English, put an option in the Dutch and English "Drop down List" worksheet.


Uses function -IF (XX = Dutch, shows Dutch cell, shows English cell)


I use this way for my accounting accounts


I hope I have helped


Decio
