Hi
I thought I had this understood, but aparrently not.
Im Importing some numbers from a file as strings.The Numbers have a period
as decimal point.
Because they are long decimal numbers and I need to do some calculations I
convert them to longints with NUM()
everything works fine on a UK system that has its decimal point as a period
When I run on a German system that has its a comma as its decimal point the
conversion screws up
So I tried using NUM(string;".") as the conversion (I thought, to force the
Decimal point to be a period)
but this seems to make no difference as the conversion, is still sccrewed
up.
Could Someone point me in the direction of what I've misunderstood.
Thanks

Im testing this by changing the localisation on the mac to German, and
comma as the decimal point.
