Hello,

I have an issue with decimal separator. I am working with Windows 10 as OS. When I schedule an Excel Report, the decimal separator appears with comma although in the report preview it appears with a decimal point. The number format property is ok too (with decimal point). This is suposed to be sent automaticaly so where can I set the correct setting to get the decimal separator with a decimal point in the report?

I’m not familiar with reports, but it might be a localization thing. Different locales use different separators, which might be the source of your problem. Try playing with that and see if it makes a difference.
