Enable comma or dot as decimal separator

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi guys, hope you are doing well.

I'm having some issues with an app where the client sometimes puts commas and dots to define decimals but when it puts a dot, the number multiplies or something like that. 
I've searched several forums and solutions but none of them worked for me.

 

In my specific case, I need that the field on the table can take commas and dots as decimals whenever the user puts there.

 

I can't modify the data type or do anything else(or at least it escapes my knowledge).

I've also tried the text() function without success.

 

 

To demonstrate the issue, on the first case with comma it works well, but on the second when I put 100.5, the field is completed with 10.050,00. We need that it works the same as a comma.

Do you have any idea if this is possible in this instance? 
Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Fedepuszko 

     

    I believe the Decimal separator character is dependent on language. some regions of the world use "." as a decimal separator while others use ","

     

    You can try Text to change the format

     

    or

     

    Substitute(Number; ","; ".")

    Hi @PowerNuggets 
    THanks for your response. I forget to mention that both option, dots and commas must be usable.

    I'll keep trying alternatives. Thanks!
