The French are doing what??

I mean how?
Specifically, I need to understand it for scientific reasons.

It's Microsoft. For some insane reason, excel formulas are localized. E.g. German Excel uses "SUMME()" instead of "SUM()".

It's insanely annoying because it sport of makes it more difficult to ask for help (I.e. only Germans might know what SVERWEIS does). And if you manage to find a solution in English, you need to translate it.

French fucking Excel formulas

Also the required diacritics use the number row on Czech keyboards so you need a numpad or type numbers with Shift.
