Type a , with numpad on keyboard instead of a . (Excel Online/ , / . / numpad)
MarkvanGeffen it could be a big problem depending your language area ...
Hi Sebastien_B and MarkvanGeffen, i found a dirty workaround.
i went here: https://superuser.com/questions/1007032/change-numpad-to-windows-10, and here: https://superuser.com/questions/1173975/rebinding-numpad-location-104-to-regular-dot-location-54 and end up downloading this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/keytweak/
that let me to create a "keychange.reg" that lets me change "physically" the numpad key to a comma, copy the text into ".reg" file and just import it and it will work, or if you prefer, download the tool and prepare your own:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,33,00,53,00,00,00,00,00
Now the problem is "solved", but on the downside, that numpad "." button now is going to be forever a comma, and it will not change back, no matter what changes are made in regional settings. BTW: i use a PC and USB keyboard. i do not know if the .reg will work for bluetooth, etc.., so USE AS-IS.
