decimal vs 1000 separator

[Darinka Andjelkovic]

Yes, it is. I found it in Excel options / Advanced / Editing options / Use
system separator.

 

Thank you Brian.

 

Best wishes,

Darinka

Dear Darinka,

 

     Isn't this a function of the way in which Excel is "localized" for
treating numbers.  Thus, the number 990.00 in the US is written as 990,00 in
most European systems.  Probably there is some option in Excel that allows
one to set this for one system or the other.  Because CLAN is using the U.S.
system by default, you should try to convince Excel to take that option.

Dear colleagues,

 

I need an urgent help on Excel. When I produce an .xls file by CLAN and then
open it in Excel, I find that a dot (point) from Standard Deviation is
recognized as a thousand separator, not as decimal marking. Consequently,
the values lower than 1 seem to be treated as text, while those higher than
1 are numbers..?

 

I have tried with Find and Replace, but it did not help, nor did Format
cells options.

 

Could you please help?
