    Hi -

    In Excel, go to File, Options, Advanced. Under the category Editing Options you should see a check box for "Use system separators". If that's not checked, check it and see if that fixes the problem. If it is checked, uncheck it an change the "Decimal separator" to what you want it to be.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Decimal separator in charts

    You've already changed the computer's regional / system settings, right?

    Check the separator settings in excel. I've looked around and that can be a little unpredictable but it's the place to go.

    Then check:
    Chart Tools Ribbon => Current Selection Panel => Vertical (Value) Axis dropdown selection => "Format Selection" Button => Number Pane

    From what I can tell, that doesn't actually change the chart settings, but it's the only other place I can think you could change.
