Set up your Windows Regional Options (in Control Panel) for the Format in
which you want to read your input data.
Format Cells/ Number for the way that you want to display the output.

Select the text you want to change, hit Ctrl+F, click the Replace tab, in
the Find What box enter a , and in the Replace With box enter a . then click
Replace All.
