I don't know the iOS behavior so I will answer for OSX.
At this time, on your machine, Numbers use the decimal comma.
This means that your system is set to behave this way.
Enter the System's Preference Pane entitled "Language and Text" and customize the number's format.
In this screenshot you may see the default French settings.
Replace the comma by the period in both "Decimale" fields then restart the machine.
The system will use the decimal period and Numbers will do too.
Assuming that one day you want to revert to decimal comma, no problem, revert the system's setting.
Numbers will be fair enough to adapt itself to the new state.
In fact, it store decimal numbers in the English format : decimal period and adjust on the fly according to system settings.

  • How do I change the decimal separator from a comma to a dot in numbers? I upload my bank statements into numbers and all contain dots. Numbers does not understand the dots.

    Hi,
    I am a recent convert from Exell to Numbers.
    I have downloaded my bank statements to Numbers. The bank statement uses dots as decimal separators, whilst the Numbers default is a comma.
    I need to change the Numbers format to dot to avoid having to manually change all in the downloaded spreadsheet.
    This spreadsheet also includes my currency as R (ZAR Rands), so either need to remove these or get Numbers to understand it, again to avoid having to remove/change all manually.
    Would really appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Have figured it out with the help of Ross at the V & A Waterfront Apple Store.
    System Preferences- Language and Region- at the bottom of the box click "Advanced"- then choose the dot/ comma under Number separators- Decimal and again under drop down box "decimal" under currency.

  • Need to change the column constrain from NOT NULL to NULL

    Hi,
    My requriment is I have to change the column constraint (NOT NULL) to NULLable (column having data), I used below query for that
    alter table table_name modify transaction_cost2 default null
    even command is successfull, but column constrain is still NOT NULL.
    can you any one help on this.. ( steps to change column constain from not null to null)
    Thanks,

    ALTER TABLE table_name
      MODIFY( transaction_cost2 NUMBER NULL )That assumes that the data type of the TRANSACTION_COST2 column is NUMBER-- you'll want to use the current data type if it is something else. I'm hoping that the fact that you have a column named TRANSACTION_COST2 doesn't imply that you have an incorrectly normalized data model. But the name of the column certainly implies that you do.

  • I need to change the apple Id from the previous user into my new user. I bought the phone from my girlfriend at work and didn't wipe it before I transferred all contacts and pictures.

    When I try to send text messages or to back up my info to the ICloud,everything seems to be linked to her email address and I can't get rid of it. Do I need to wipe it all out and re-install all my contacts and pictures all over again?

  • Hi i have a an iphone 4 that wont turn on or restore. i managed to get it in recover mode but get error 21. the apple sign will *** on then off nd repeats..please help i dnt have warranty i brought it brand new but off the streets..

    my iphone4 was workiing fine till i tried to upgrade to os7. The upgrade stopped because i didnt have enough juice and i just had lost my charger. Right after that i noticed the home button wasnt working right so i turned the phone off and attempted to tuurn it back on but nothing happened and i know i had like 20% of battery life left when i turned it off. i searched on the internet and found out i probably had to restore it. so i got it to go into recovery mode and connected it to my computer and itunes. itunes recognized the device said i had to restore it so i clicked the button. It started to do whatever it does but out of nowhere error 21 pops up.i also noticed that right before the error 21 message came up the phone did try to come on(apple came up) but then it cut right back off and repeated that over and over....i need self-help solutions because i dnt have warranty or $85 to send it in because i just paid $100. can i get it jailbroken even though it wont turn on? will that fix it? thank you for taking the time to read this even if you dont have an answer. Have a nice day people

    We don't discuss jailbreaking in this Apple hosted forum, and in any case, it's never recommended. Have you tried this:
    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Edit: I see it looks like you've already tried this. Here's an article about specific error numbers in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694

  • 5500-ac change the logging level from info to warnings

    We have 4 Cisco Systems AIR-PWR-5500-AC’s in our network with logging set to default of informational. This level of logging generates a lot of noise. I need to change the logging level from info to warnings, but cannot do so until I have a table that shows what messages will be excluded if I make this change.

  • We need to change the description in SVO according to VOA's description manually

    Hi Team
    There is diffrence in Desription in SvO (Service Order ) and Vendor outline Agreement. We need to change the description in SVO according to VOA's description manually Please find the below screen Shot. Kindly assist to check the root cause or any setting we need to take.
    T-code: iw33 & me33k
    SVO
    VOA
    Br, Kiran

    The same, I am telling. While creating VOA, they might have changed the description.
    Also, while creating Service Order, they might have changed the description which is different from VOA.
    If you don't want to edit the description, then make both fields in disable mode in all phases (creation as well as change), so that user can't change the description.

  • CWB-Need to change the eligible salary column from yearly to monthly

    Hi All,
    I need to change the eligible salary column from yearly to monthly at Employee Allocation from Compensation Workbench.
    Kindly help me guys
    Regards,
    Sajid

    You can change the activity reference period in the Plan Form - > Not In Program tab from annually to monthly. However, it will impact all the calcuations as it will use monthly values for everything. Please be careful of this. I would suggest testing this (along with posting back the increases to ensure they are annual amounts) before proceeding with this.

  • I need to change the "from" address (the "add to addressbook" address) in the first line of emails that I send. How do I do this?

    I need to change the "from" address (the "add to addressbook" address) in the first line of emails that I send so that people reply to my email alias not the address where my emails originate. How do I do this?

    So you have added a new 'Identity' to your existing email address.
    If someone sends an email using that 'other identity'
    you have a choice of where those received emails can go. they can be received into the original mail account, like a collect all in the one Inbox or perhaps sent to Local Folders, so you can see them as separate. Or you can filter on that identity to put those emails in a specific folder.
    When you REply to any incoming mail that has used that new identity email address, it will use the new identity in the Email address in FROM assuming the received email in the main mail account of which the new identity email is applied.
    This should also now offer the added identity email address as an option in the FROM drop down list. So you can easily swap when sending an email if required.
    If you want to send using your default email address to people, but want their reply to use the identity email address:
    Tools > Account Settings
    select the original email address mail account name
    Where it says: 'Reply to addresses: enter the reply to identity email address.
    click on OK
    This means when they click on 'Reply' it will auto insert the Reply-to option.
    This will work providing it is a 'Reply' to an email you sent which contains the Reply-to email address.
    If someone is not actually replying by using the Reply-to new identity email address:
    In other words they are sending you a new email using the original email address because perhaps that is the one in their address book or the one they located on a webpage etc.
    Then, when you select to Reply to that email, it will use the email address to which it was sent to in the FROM field - the original email address. Hence why you would need to select the new identity FROM in the drop down list.
    One way to get around this is set out below.
    If you do not use an identity - instead you create another existing mail account for the 'identity' email address, so you have two mail accounts for the two email addresses.
    You can move selected emails manually or perhaps using a filter to screen them from the original mail account into the newly created mail account.
    Then when you click on Reply, it will use the new mail account email address instead of the original email address.
