What is the difference between German and British formatting of numbers?

The comma and dot functions are reversed?

Change your Regional and Language Options in Windows.

You can also use this function to make a number of the text number

With the text number in A2 you can use this

=IF(ISERR(A2*1),IF(ISERR("1.2"*1),SUBSTITUTE(SUBST ITUTE(A2,",",""),".",",")*1,SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE( A2,".",""),",",".")*1),A2*1)
