My computer only recognized the symbol (,) as a decimal point. Thus in a
formula I have to type: 1,6 for the number l.6 . This is how a decimal point is represented in Spanish, but the English (United States) is selected and is the Default. Is there anywhere else the Spanish can be leaking over? |

Hi,
By default Excel uses the Windows settings for this so change those to what you want using Control Panel|Regional & Language settings or you can override them by going to tools|Options|international and un-checking use system seperators and then entering the seperators you want.

Hi FC, a further correction for you: use of "." or "," as a decimal
separator depends more on the country, not the language. Many, if not most Spanish-speaking countries use "," (including Spain).
