Thank you for all this information but when I go to File and Options the only thing that is showing in Options is "Regional Format Settings".

Apparently you are using Excel Online (the browser version).
Try starting the desktop version of Excel (the locally installed version), and opening your workbooks from within the desktop version.

How do I get to the desktop version?

For example:
- Click the Start button or press the Windows key.
- Type Excel
- The desktop version of Excel should be the first search result.
- There should also be a shortcut in Start > All apps.
