I have a user whose number format keeps changing to Chinese when she inserts a new row, however when I use the same spreadsheet at my computer, I do not have this issue.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
It might be worth checking the settings in the Control Panel's Regional and Languages settings...

Thats where I would start :)

That was my thought too. I checked that, and it is set to English.

Thank you for the response though!

Hang on - Number format is Chinese?

Do you mean the cell literally changes to a Chinese font, currency, or 'Format > Special > Chinese'?

I just tried to make mine do it but got confused at this part LOL
