When i use the XL2BB-tool to download data from this site in my workbook in "dutch" regional setting, the formulas remain english and therefore unprocessed.

* Is it possible to change my setting to english, import the XL2BB-data and switch back to dutch ? (= just english setting during 30 seconds !!! )
* Later, to share the results here on the site with that same XL2BB-tool, to do just the same, switch to english and use the XL2BB-tool, because yesterday i saw that conditional format formulas remained in dutch.

Should that even be possible, to make a macro to make that switch forwards and backwards automatically ?
example of such a XL2BB-import, the formulas are kind of strings

11=IF(F11,$B$1,0)=PRODUCT(G11,$B$2)=SUM(I11,J11)=SUM(C11*$B$3,B11)*$B$4=PRODUCT(G11,$B$5)=SUM(K11,L11,M11)=IF(B11<=$E$4,$F$4,IF(B11<=$E$5,$F$5,IF(B11>=$E$6,$F$6)))#WAARDE!

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
In fact whatever the local Excel version the Excel inner engine is still natively in english​
so this is very easy to directly translate any english formula to your local version​
via for example the VBE watch window (Ctrl + G) with a single codeline like ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Formula = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Value2 …​
So to see your dutch formula in english in the VBE watch window : ?ActiveCell.Formula so no necessary to change the Windows Regional settings.​

i just tried it on a threat here, funny, a simple sum wasn't handled okay and other more complicated formulas okay.
I 'll do a few other test and i'll come back.
Thanks.
