    Numbers change to dates

    Hi. It's Excel 2007 on terminal server issue. If I type some numbers like: 1.22 or 12.31 or 10.27 etc and leave a cell then it changes to date, for example 22 Jan; 31 Dec, 27 Oct etc. I've check cells format and no matter what is set, it always changes to dates. The issue is present in whole Excel: old/new files, every sheet ad so on. The profile reset was performed but didn't help. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

    Thanks

    Change the numberformat of the cells to Number, instead of General.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Thanks for your reply. But as I said. No matter what cell's value is set, it still changes. And all cells in all sheets/excel files (old one or already created one) are affected.

    Not the value, the numberformat.

    Oh, and check what your system locale settings expects as a decimal separator.
