Hi Paul,
What do you have under
  START (windows key), settings, control panel, Regional Options
     General (Tab),  what do you have for location
     Number (Tab),  what do you have for decimal symbol

This is an Excel newsgroup,  all questions are Excel,  your single
word subject is not a helpful description of your question
for those who look for answers in the archived postings.  Suppose
someone sees your question and finds an answer later, they would
have a hard time finding your question again so they could answer it.
