Problems formatting with latest update

[Debbiequack1966]

Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have been having a number formatting issue since the last Windows update.  Excel does not work for me the way it used to.

More specifically, I get data in Danish format and need to convert it to USA format.   I have been able to do that simply by formatting particular columns, or, with a few columns at a time, using 'text to columns'.  Now when I do these things, it does not correct my data.  I don't know what to do.

As a side note, I worry that the windows update changed my location.  I have tried fixing that and it didn't solve the problem, however.  Can anyone help?

Knowing the Excel version and the operating system would be of great benefit ... for everyone:).

You can find the Excel version at:
file
account
Product version

Windows version can be found:
in Search write the command
Winver and Enter
a window appears with the win. version
example: Windows 10 Version 2004 (Build 19041.523)

Thank you for your understanding and patience
