The following code generates an error when run with the Portuguese (pr-BR culture) version of Excel 2007.

ExcelApp.Goto "R1C1"

The error generated and captured in my app's log file is something like:

"Esta referancia nao a valida"

Is the R (row) and C (column) supposed to be specified differently in different languages?

If so, is there a way to query Excel to ask it what it uses to specify the row and column components of a cell reference?

Thanks!

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Got it.

The following .NET expression produces "R1C2" in English or whatever's appropriate if Excel is running in a different language.

ExcelApp.International(Excel.XlApplicationInternational.xlUpperCaseRowLetter) & "1" & _
ExcelApp.International(Excel.XlApplicationInternational.xlUpperCaseColumnLetter) & "2"

Hi,

This worked perfect for me (Excel 2010 pt-Brazilian version)

Application.Goto "R1C1"

That may be because you're using VBA. I believe VBA does everything in en-US behind the scenes. .NET is finicky about the culture.

Why not use an actual Range object?

Looks like you already are having to change it... ;)
