    Changed List Separator has caused all formule to be changed in Excel

    I recently changed the list separator in my regional settings in Windows to pipe character. I upload CSV files that have commas in the body of the upload and had to change to a different character to avoid any issues.

    But, doing so also changed all commas in my excel files to the pipe character as well. Also, now when i enter my formulae, I have to make sure that I put in the pipe character, where usually a comma would be.

    Anyone else came across this problem and how to fix it?

    Hi,

    I don't think there is a solution to this problem besides changing your regional settings.
