problem with double value
 

I have a xml document, and one of it's values is a number in the format
1,5. And i need to insert in a excel cell that value * an integer, the
problem is that when i convert 1,5 to double i got 15 instead of 1.5. I
tried modifying the format of the number to 1.5 or replacing the , with
a . but with no success. If i don't convert the number to double i got
only 1.

Now i convert 1.5 to 15 and then multiply it by the integer and then
divide it by 10. It works, but it's not elegant, and the thing is that
in the xml document i can have 1,5 or an integer, and in that case i
can't divide by 10. So i need to compare the number in search of a ,
before converting it.


Is there any way around more elegant?

Thanks,

Selection.Replace What:=",", Replacement:=".", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1").Select
End Sub


I just copied this macro from the recorder, insert it into a module and
assign a button to it,
highlite a range you want edited and then press the button
