Excel for Mac - Point as separator in a German Excel

[Mr_Geo91]

Hi there!
I working with Excel for Mac on my MacBook Air with OS X Catalina. My Excel language is german (I from Austria). Is there any possibility to change the separator from comma to point (without changing the OS language or the language in Excel)?

Thanks!

@Mr_Geo91 In English: Apple symbol top left, System Preferences, Language & Region, Advanced... should bring you to this screen. Here you can set your preferences.

Thank you for your effort, but this system change don't work in Excel. Excel is changing 40.5793 to 405.793 :(

Greets!

@Mr_Geo91 How strange. I have tried on both my MBP and MB air (on Catalina). When I change the thousand and/or decimal separator in systems settings, Excel picks-up the new settings after the next start-up.

@Riny_van_Eekelen Hey Riny, now it works. I really don't know why, but after restarting Excel two times the separator was set to a point.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Greets,
