Default How do I change "." to "," so e.g. 1.000 = 1,000 in the same colum


If this is (number) now accepted as the decimal point then a helper
column with *1000 might be the easiest solution, then Copy that helper
column and Paste Special, Values back over the original column, and
delete the helper column.

Note, for numbers with no . you might need to not multiply by 1000

Hi I need to convert a large spreadsheet with volumes of no.s set out in
the
European format which separate 000s with a dot "." to the Uk format
which
separates this with commas e,g. 1,000. I need to do this in the same
column/cells, not as a formula, i.e. not {sum=cell*1000}, and I've
tried the
find and replace function which doesn't work as it changes e.g. 10.000
to 10
