Decimal point - how to change?
Hi!
This might be a stupid question but I'm SO frustrated right now! Excel uses a comma (",") as the default decimal point, how can I change this to a period (".")? My statistics package don't like commas you see... -M- --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/

Decimal point - how to change?
Seems I've got no "international"-tab under "tools/options" - could it
be 'cause I'm using Excel 2000? If so, where do I change it? Thanx 10^6 --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/

For Excel 2000 and prior, the OP would need to change system settings through Windows' Control Panel's Regional Settings applet. --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/

Correct, introduced in 2002 I believe, it only handles decimal and thousand
separators.. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please, for everyone's benefit keep the discussion in the newsgroup/forum) "hgrove " wrote in message ... Isàk wrote...
