To give an example:
=large(F3:G18;J3:K15;2)

And yes, I have tried to manually change the symbol between the two input lists, and this does not provide any satisfactory result.

So basically, how can I change the setting to get one symbol separating several data input lists, and another symbol separating the arguments list?

Thanks for whatever help you can provide! :)
This is possibly something to do with your Windows regional settings rather than your Excel settings.

Have a look at this thread and see if it's of any help to you.
