Hi, and thank you so much for your help!
I've unchecked that box and put "." as decimal separator and "," as thousounds separator,
but still get the result in Outlook as i pic below..? 😞
(Should be three values in the left column, not one long one including them all.)
No luck so far. I hope you have another idea? 🙂

No straightforward solution found, but a work around solved it..!
I opened the Excel csv-file, which contains just the needed parameters, name, and e-mail, in "Note pad" app, chose "edit" and "replace" and replaced ; (semicolon) with , (comma) and saved the file.
Now in Windows Explorer I changed the name/file format of the file from Note Pad from .txt to .csv and the the import into Outlook worked flawless..!
