Hi I've ben using excel for years and suddenly came up with this bug
(Currently using Excel 2007 SP2)
I openned my spreadshhet one day and all my standard number formats have
changed from:
1,000,000.00
To
1 000 000.00
i.e. the coma seperator no longer exists, even going to the ' button on
the
ribbon or to format style does not work. even the message on the tick box
to
insert , seperator had changed to insert ] seperator.
Also I used to type UK date format 23/1 and it would default to date 23
Jan.
Now I have to type 1/23. I have looked at the date and time and location
setting in excel and on my system and they all seem fine. It looks like a
bug
in excel (I'm set up for auto MS updates so may have downloaded somthing.
Some of my colleges are also having the same problem.
I think somehow my global settings have gotten corrupted.
Any suggestions on how I can change?
