Why do you hate decimals?

    I first had an issue bringing in simple numbers.
    EX: 8.5 became 85,0

    I “fixed” this with the suggested edit to line 1228 of your code but the numbers are now 8,5 and not 8.5

    Ok, fine, I’ll live with this but when I did an export all numbers are further messed up. Now 8,5 is simply 85.

    How do we really fix this?

    Hello there.

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    The 3rd party software that is responsible for exporting tables in Excel does not support the European number format. It only works if numbers contain both dot and comma in number. Here is the reference.

    We can suggest using CSV as an export or making those columns as a string.

    Our developers will attempt to tackle this problem in one of our future updates, but at this time, the plugin is limited by the 3rd party software.

    Kind regards.

    Thanks for the response.
    I’m not too worried about the exports. I did solve my other comma issue so there is hope.
