Decimal dot to Decimal Comma
 

The thousand separator (comma ,) & decimal (dot.) is used as default numeric
format in our region (Asia). I need to send the Excel File to my Director in
Germany who use thousand separator (dot) & decimal (comma). The excel file
has nearly 100 thousand cells numeric data based on which a Management
dashboard is created. Because of change in the practice in the region, the
dashboard returns value error.

I want to provide a macro to my director, who will effortlessly run the
macro which will change the cells to the Europe regional format and display
the dashboard results correctly.

Any help please

Decimal dot to Decimal Comma
 

Ananth,

That should be automatically catered for by Excel.

Can you give more details on the problem, the data and how it manifests?

The file when opened in germany assumes the dot in the numeric as Text data &
intrepts so. The dashboard which is the summary sheet returns value error,
as the summation of the text cells is not possible.

You say ... in Text data ... , a dot in text is just a character and so will
not be converted. What text data and how is it used in the dashboard?
