Hi All.

I have a code that works perfectly fine for users with the US excel and windows setting. I'm stuck why FormulaR1C1 doesn't work as it should when ran in a German setting.
Here is the line of code that works for US setting.

Range("L2").FormulaR1C1 = "=(1-(RC[14])- " & ACoS & " ))*RC[-1]"

But it returns nothing, as in empty when ran in a German setting. I'm thinking if it is the variable thing "ACoS".

Would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much in advance.

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Does replacing FormulaR1C1 with FormulaR1C1LOCAL make any difference?

I might be misunderstanding, but there doesn't seem to be a cell reference for Acos...shouldn't it be Acos(cell reference)

Can you enter these two formulas into two cells (on the German version) and tell me what they come back with
Excel Formula:
=LEFT(ADDRESS(1;1;1;0);1)

=MID(ADDRESS(1;1;1;0);3;1)

=LEFT(ADDRESS(1;1;1;0);1) = R

Also, if I put a fixed number in the formula, say 30%, instead of variable "ACoS", it works as it should.

I think you need to rename the variable...ACos is a native function of Excel, so shouldn't be used.
So I'm guessing the code is misreading it as an Excel function
"The ACOS function returns the inverse cosine of a number. The function is the inverse of COS and expects input in the range from -1 to 1."

HI Michael.

Thanks for your reply. I tried changing the variable name and it gives me the same problem.
