    My decimal separator key cannot produce a comma


    I have my EXCEL all configured to use the comma as decimal separator; and so is my regional configuration.
    Now, since I bought this new portable, with the standard separate numerical keyboard, and Windows 7,
    the decimal separator key in the numerical keyboard only and always produces a dot, and the figure gets read as text. To have the comma, and the figure read as a number, I have to use the comma key in the main alphanumerical part of the keyboard.
    Thanks for any help-

    Try going into Control Panel>Region and Language>Addition Settings. Something could have gotten messed up.

    Hope this helps,

    Great, thanks for posting back.

    Do you know how to request a thread be marked as solved? Just flag the post in the upper-left corner, and ask the mods to do it.

    That way people with similar problems can easily find potential solutions.
