Excel have problems using the specified currency symbols set in the control
panel, Japan is one and you can call Microsoft Technical Support at 
(206)454-2030 for the others. To use the Yen sign you have to enter it 
manually in the desired cell or you can use Format.Number. To enter the Yen
hold down the Alt key and using the separate numeric keypad enter 157 then
release the Alt key. 

This is the only workaround that I'm familiar with, hope it helps.
