Hi, Paul and all Hmm, that's quite strange that what you mean differs from Eike's report. We have to continue our efforts to collect helpful information about this problem.
According to Microsoft Office Website, the name of the JIS() function depends upon the language you use. In addition, the functionaility might differ from Japanese version. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP052508381033.aspx Anybody especially who has other localized versions of Excel, I wonder if you could tell me what the name of JIS() function is in your localized version and how the function works.
