Using "Sum" function with Europian numbers
I'm from USA. I handle lots of data with Europian (German) standards. When I
use the "sum" function, it's not working for me. For example when I add 5.000,00 and 2.000,00 (written in German standards) I should get a total of 7.000,00. But the system is showing errors (since I'm using US version of excel). How to correct this issue so that I can get correct totals. Aman |
Using "Sum" function with Europian numbers
What's the problem? If I open a workbook created in Germany the numbers
will be converted to whatever system I use. In Excel 2003 under toolsoptionsinternational I can set the type of number delimiters I was with regards to thousand and decimals separators. Finally you can change the regional setting temporarily . -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Aman" wrote in message ... I'm from USA. I handle lots of data with Europian (German) standards.

Hi,
You say you are getting "Errors", what error, show us what you expect and what you get. One thing you can do is choose Tools, Options, International and make sure the settings in the Number handling area are correct. You may need to check or uncheck Use system separators, and if checked you may need to change the Decimal separator and/or the Thousands separator. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Aman" wrote: I'm from USA.
