Quick detour #2: Working with currencies made easy …
题外话 #2:轻松设置货币符号
[Point=2]
Before I dive into PivotTables, I thought I would mention an Excel 12 feature that resulted from collaboration with our international subsidiaries. Users that work outside North America (and even some users that work within North America) build a lot of spreadsheets that contain multiple currencies. To make this easier for folks, we’ve turned the “$” (or Currency Style) button into a split-button drop-down that contains a list of different currencies the user can select. The feature is pretty straightforward – if a user presses the button, it applies the default currency style in the same fashion as current versions of Excel. If the user presses the drop-down arrow on the button, they see a list of other common currencies that they can choose from.
在进入数据透视表的话题之前,我想我还是先谈谈 Excel 12 为顺应国际化应用之需求而新增的一个特性。我们知道,北美以外的用户(甚至也包括部分北美的用户)制作的大量电子表格通常会涉及到多种不同的货币符号,为了让广大用户更加容易地设置这些货币符号,我们已将工具栏中的“货币样式”按钮改装成一个带有下拉列表的拆分按钮,用户可以从下位列表中选择不同的货币符号。这个拆分按钮可谓美观实用:如果用户点击这个按钮,那么选中的单元格将会自动套用系统默认的货币样式;如果用户点击这个按钮上面的下拉箭头,那么程序将会弹出一个包含有其它常用货币的下拉列表以供他们从中选择。

In the same way the default currency style varies from country to country (for example, it is $ in the US, Pounds in the UK, Euros in most of Europe, Yen in Japan, etc.), the list of other currencies the users will see will vary from country to country (they will be specific to the user’s locale). We are working closely with our international subsidiaries to ensure that each locale has the most useful set of currency options for their users.
默认的货币样式会随着国家/区域设置的不同而有所不同,比如,与美国对应的默认货币样式是“$”、英国是“£”、多数欧洲国家是“ |
