natural logarithm doesn't works in French language

[Mikael_QUIJADA]

Hi,

Just to say that natural logarithm doesn't works in the French version of Revit (2018 > 2020)

Works perfectly in the English version.

Stuck too with this annoying bug, did you find any workaround ?

[Mikael_QUIJADA]

Yep : Using the English Revit version....

Didn't try but does changing Keyboard input language makes any impact/difference? sometimes it does German vs English … English vs German

JUST TO SAY:

If you need to carry out such operations to drive family parameters, it is preferable need to go through Dynamo/Python to do the calculation and write the output to the specified parameters. 

There is a valid Formula Syntax / Abbreviation is limited to the list provided in the following document

This list is from 2014 and has been updated since then.

I don't know … just saying maybe it helps...I have noticed that sometimes it does when scripting and keyboard input language changes by mistake...

Thinking that Revit's API should be same for all languages...why shouldn't a valid syntax work in one language not the other!

For French version of Revit , replacing "In" with "Dans" seems to work
