Howdy, Well, I'm using LibreOffice 6.2.3 (with Ubuntu) and have created a csv file with two data rows 12.12 12.123 Then set my global locale to Italian(Italy) and try to open the csv file. (which is using a tab to separate values btw) If in the dialog box I change the defaulted Italian(Italy) locale to English(USA) everything works as expected, with the data in the now Italian(Italy) local file: 12,12 12,123 If I do not set the locale in the import dialog to a locale which used the '.' for decimal it does not work properly. But if doing it in that order does is not working on the MAC then I would say yes you should open an issue in the bug tracker.

In any case, the cell format can be tweaked. Thanks for your answer. However I'm not sure what you mean here: _ tweaking on the CSV side? Sure I can, but I'd rather not: the file has other uses, besides being importe in LibreOffice; also it's already correct (for some definition of correct, i.e. English locale); _ tweaking during import? I don't see any option to choose decimal separator; only locale setting, which, as I said, does not work. _ settings decimal separator globally? This is not what my customer wants: she wants to work with Italian locale, but be able to import this single file with dot as decimal separator; the option seems to be there, just not working. _ Something else? What? What I'm trying to understand is whether the fact that setting locale in the import dialog has no effect is a bug (which I should report) or if I'm just trying something that will never work conveniently and I'll need to think about a different workflow. bye & Thanks av. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] CSV import trouble (numbers & locale)
IMHO the issue could be related to the cell format, either to the number of decimals or to the thousands separator. In any case, the cell format can be tweaked.
