To change this, right click on the cell (or cells), select "Format Cells..." and then select another format, e.g. "General". Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

2.7 ----2 july
just to make sure Excel uses comma for the decimal separator 2,7 gives the same result "David Biddulph" <groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ...

Might be worth looking at your Windows Regional Options (in Control Panel).
If you've got date formats specified there as d.m.y, it might be worth seeing what happens if you change to d/m/y and try putting the number in again after that. -- David Biddulph "aa" wrote in message ... 2.7 ----2 july just to make sure Excel uses comma for the decimal separator 2,7 gives the same result "David Biddulph" <groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ...
