Why formatting cells works in russian?
Try changing the region from your Microsoft Account.
Go to Your Profile, Click on "Region" and change it to your specific region.
Close the browser, open a spreadsheet in excel online and try entering a number.
Unfortunately, since no precise information is available from your side, only assumptions can be made.
Operating system? excel version? storage medium?
