Thanks Bob I. That's it.

Strange though. The region was set to English (Trinidad); by the way that's
where I'm located. I changed it to English (US) AND IT WORKED. But in
Trinidad though we don't format numbers that way. Thanks again!

Thanks for the response Bob I. However That's what I've done but I get this
unexpected format. Here's what I mean....

I start with 1000000000
when I select the options as you have said I get 1000000,000 and not
1,000,000,000

That's basically the problem.
