  1. Use of an apostrophe in numbers instead a decimal point - various programs


    Recently I have seen an apostrophe ' being used in place of a decimal point in Excel, Calculator, and even when looking at the file size when looking at file properties. For instance, a currency amount now looks like $1234'56 rather than $1234.56, and a file size looks like 3'45 MB instead of 3.45 MB. I haven't made any changes in language everything is set to United States English. How do I correct this?

    :)

  2. decimal point in windows calculator

    I have read the various help articles and I need it explained to me how to set up the windows ten microsoft calculator to write numbers like this: 12.34 instead of 1234. or 123.45 instead of 12345. which is default. Can someone please explain this to
    me in simple terms. I want to use the calculator to do bills and without the correctly placed decimal point it is confusing.

    decimal point in windows calculator

    I have not been able to find any information so far that you can specify a fixed number of digits after the decimal point. If you want the decimal point to appear, press the period on the keyboard or on the screen in the calculator keypad.

    I'll see if specifying the number of places in the Windows settings helps.
