    Convert numbers - switch commas for decimals and vice versa

    Hi all. I have a spreadsheet of numbers downloaded from another system where the format is "15.000,00", "1,0" etc. Is there a formula with which I can switch these numbers over to the US format 15,000.00, etc.?

    It worked for me on the given sample value.

    Can you attach a sample book?
