How can I change "." to "," so e.g. 1.000 = 1,000 in the same colu
 

Hi I need to convert a large spreadsheet with volumes of no.s set out in the
European format which separate 000s with a dot "." to the Uk format which
separates this with commas e,g. 1,000. I need to do this in the same
column/cells, not as a formula, i.e. not {sum=cell*1000}, and I've tried the
find and replace function which doesn't work as it changes e.g. 10.000 to 10

Does anyone know how to do this?

How can I change "." to "," so e.g. 1.000 = 1,000 in the same colu

If your value is in cell j7 is 1.000, type the following formula

=VALUE(CONCATENATE(J7,",","000"))
