Default How to print numbers invariably using dots as decimal symbol?

Try to override system settings in ToolsOptionsInternational by unchecking
"Use system separators" and entering dot as Decimal separator!

Regards,

Hello,

I need to print to a disk file, numbers that are stored in different cells
of a worksheet, by making use of the dot as decimal symbol. I thought of
loading them in variants first and printing from there a formatted string to
the file, using the FORMAT function.

However, format "0.00" will use the decimal symbol as defined in the locale
(Regional Settings), which is the opposite of what I need.

Does someone know if FORMAT can be instructed to invariably use a dot as
decimal symbol?

Thank you.
