| Dear Otten,
|
| Thank you for your reply. I tried the tools,options....link,and i found the
| Use system separators checked thus meaning that the thousands and decimal
| separator were not set to dot. I still get the same problem though. How would
| one look in the windows settings as you suggested?
|
| Thanks.

| Hi Olivier,

| Looks like your thousands separator is set to a dot. Look both in the Windows settings AND in

| | Dear all,
| |
| | I have been trying to add number in excel 2003 with decimals, but some works
| | and others not. In format cells i put the decimal places to 3. Lets say i use
| | number 554.965 and excel takes it as 554965, but a number such as 38 excel
| | takes it as 38 normally,when I add both expecting to have 592.965, i get this
| | answer 555003.000, again when I make the numbers to use the 1000's separator
| | it gives me something like this 555003.0.000. Would you help me correct my
| | report?
| |
| | Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.
