There are a bunch of constants used against Application.International.

I get why xlLowerCaseColumnLetter, xlLowerCaseRowLetter, xlUpperCaseColumnLetter, and xlUpperCaseRowLetter are constants, because the letter changes depending on your country.
But why constants for xlLeftBrace, xlRightBrace, xlLeftBracket, xlRightBracket?

I am not aware of any country that uses a different symbol for the square bracket in R1C1 notation, or the curly braces in an array.
Does anyone know any different? If you do, please reply?

Cheers,

Because it is a area that I not use a lot I ask Debra to look
at your problem so you have a good answer.

This is it :

They’re probably getting that message because the code is trying to hide the
pivot items that don’t match the dates set in the filter. The VBA dates are
in USA format, so none of them will match the UK dates in the pivot table.

Because all of the pivot items can’t be hidden, the Error 1004 will appear
when trying to hide the last pivot item.

In the code, they’d have to convert the UK dates to US format, so they can
be checked for a correct match.

Have a great weekend

Not yet

I try to do it this weekend

Have you had a chance to look at the PivotTable/international dates one? I’m curious if it’s just something I’m missing, or if it is appearing for other people.

Cheers,

Matt

LOL

I hope I have more time next week to add more to the page
Today I add “Command bars and controls in Excel 97-2003?

Ron has a link to that section of the book on his site (in case you forget again ).

I search my sent folder for “curious beast” when I need to refer to it.

(Before Ron gets mad at us for not noticing that it’s on his page .)

Thanks for finding that information again, I misplaced it.

You see that my page start with that chapter and I not want to duplicate it so
I will see how I will do the VBA part in the next weeks.

Search for “Range.AutoFilter” and you’ll see this note:

Range.AutoFilter

The AutoFilter method of a Range object is a very curious beast. We are forced
to pass it strings for its filter criteria and hence must be aware of its string
handling behaviour. The criteria string consists of an operator (=, >, =
etc.) followed by a value.

If no operator is specified, the “=” operator is assumed. The key issue is that
when using the “=” operator, AutoFilter performs a textual match, while using
any other operator results in a match by value. This gives us problems when
trying to locate exact matches for dates and numbers.

If we use “=”, Excel matches on the text that is displayed in the cell, i.e. the
formatted number. As the text displayed in a cell will change with different
regional settings and Windows language version, it is impossible for us to
create a criteria string that will locate an exact match in all locales.

There is a workaround for this problem. When using any of the other filter
criteria, Excel plays by the rules and interprets the criteria string according
to US formats. Hence, a search criterion of “>=02/01/2001? will find all dates
on or after 1st Feb, 2001, in all locales.

We can use this to match an exact date by using two AutoFilter criteria. The
following code will give an exact match on 1st Feb, 2001 and will work in any
locale:

Range(“A1:D200?).AutoFilter 2, “>=02/01/2001?, xlAnd, “<=02/01/2001?

Matt/Vincent : I will look at your problems soon

JK : I will do that soon JK

Dennis: I will be waiting for the Swedish problems
