    Formatting Problem

    Hi anyone

    For some reason all the numbers I have in excel have now got a "," separator rather than a "." and I have no idea how it happened or how to change it....It is even showing the same in the Format cells drop down....Any help to get this back to normal would be much appreciated

    Have your system settings changed? Check in Advanced Options that your separators are set correctly for your locale.

    AVK is recommending a workaround, but I suggest you work through your settings to get to the root of the problem.
