Why formatting cells works in russian?

Copper Contributor

Even though my office 365 is in english, formatting cells works only in russian. And if im importing xlsx file to a workbook it changes all the names of months from english to 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?

 

Here are some additional links that might be of help:

Change your personal language and region settings.

Change regional format settings in Excel for the web.

Change your display language and time zone in Microsoft 365 for Business

Set a locale or region for data (Power Query)

 

 Hope I was able to help you with this information.
