multiply calculation

Copper Contributor

I have excel 2007 on a windows 10 system when I put +0.3*0.4 or =0.3*0.4 or =+0.3*0.4 it gives me a value error

on previous windows 8 system my calculation was +0.3*0.4 and it gave a value

if I use normal values like +1+1 it works perfectly

but decimals it does nie

can someone tell me how do I need to enter it

Hi Samp,

 

Does dot is your the decimal separator?

 

how to I correct it sergai

 

Go to File Menu ribbon and change in options.

when at ribbon - formulas

at enable iterative calculation

it says maximum = 100

maximum change 0,001

 

in the windows 8 version it says 0.001

and it seems I cannot get the 0,001 change to 0.001

or must I go elsewhere to change it

the rest of the indicators are the same as on my windows 8 version computer

 

Hi,

 

That's not the Excel settings but your Windows one. For Windows 10

Settings->Region & Language->Additional date, time &regional settings (at the top right of the window)->Change date, time or number format (you may jump here directly from control panel if you use it)->Additional settings

and here check what is your decimal symbol

You may change it here but that will be applied not only to Excel but to entire system.

Not sure about Excel 2007, but for 2016 you may change the decimal symbol for Excel only in Options
