This is a matter of your language and regional settings.

Usually it is best to set these in Windows rather than Excel. In
Excel, Tools | Options | International and make sure that "use system
separators" is checked.

In Windows Control Panel, choose Regional and Language Options.
Select your language choice and you should see your desired
separators. If your language is correctly set but you want the
separators to be different, click Customize and change them.

You might need to close and reopen Excel, or even to restart Windows,
for this change to take effect.
