Value score with "," instead "."

Posted on by nenandi

How to solve this, the value of the variable is stored with "," instead of with "." due to different regional user settings,

depending on the user, I get the result with a comma or a period 93,33 instead 93.33, so it is not easy to calculate the average

the result of the quiz is kept in excel.

Thx

Hi @nenandi ,

Based on the Language() function you can replace "," or "."

Hi @nenandi,

Have you solved your problem?

Do you want to format your number suing the dot rather than a comma?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Actually, since your users have different region settings, I think there is no need to change the region setting or something language function. We just need to format it before your calculation.

Text(93,33,"[$-en-US]##.#","en-US")

Or, you could use the Substitute.

Substitute(93,33,",",".")

I have a variable Score (value 0), depending on the answer is added a certain value e.g 11.33 on Next button, I patch the variable Score in an Excel with button Finish.
On some users regional settings in phone is different so score 93.33 patched 93,33 how to solve this
I do some workaround all values multiple by 100 and divide in separate column in Excel by 100.

Hi @nenandi,

Have you tried my solution?

If you patch data to excel table, I think only a General column could save the format changes through Power Apps.

Whatever region your users are in, just make sure the following steps:

1). Make sure the aimed column in Excel table is a General type

2). Make sure the format change is operated at the last step

For example, if you use the Patch(). please write it as below:

Patch(Table1,Defaults(Table1),{Score:Text(Value(YourTextScore,"es-ES"),"[$-en-US]##.#","en-US")})

Of course, if the formula could not make sense, please provide some screenshot to describe.

Here is some edits I want to show you, I refer to a language tag "es-ES" to format your text score number, so that we could format it using the dot.

In addition, to avoid some users who are already in a region using the dot separator, the Substitute is not a good choice, so I deleted it.
