Setting regional settings for PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel

I am reminded that PerformancePoint has been localized for use outside of the English language. A customer a few days ago asked me how to change the settings to Slovenian so that the Add-in for excel works. Here it is.

If a computer’s regional settings are not English (US, UK...) Excel cannot start the add-in. Install the MS Office 2007 language packs for Swedish and Finnish.

1. Install the Multi Language-Pack 2007. You can purchase MUI pack from http://buy20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/buyus/product.aspx?family=langpack&culture=en-US

2. Change the Regional Settings to the appropriate Language.

3. In Excel, go to File | Excel Options | Popular | Selected the Language Settings button to change to regional language (Example: Swedish or Finnish). This allows for a localized version of Excel to exist on English OS. Changes will take effect the next time you launch Excel.

Let me know if this works.
