Hi all, I need some help.
I have a friend with excel 2003 installed years ago. Last month, his excel behave strangely. I don't know why and how, each time he types a numeric value into a cell (e.g 123456789 or 123456 or 1234) then the format automatically change to 123.456.789, 123.456 and 1.234 respectively. I've checked Format Cell on it, nothing change there. I've checked also on Tools>Options>International, use system separator is checked. Last week, I upgrade his excel to 2007 in hope that the problem solved by itself, but still this XXX.XXX.XXX format to any numeric typed persisted. Any suggestion what to do with this excel 2003 or 2007 (he got new excel 2007 license, so I've upgraded his excel to 2007) ?
Thank for attention and/or help :)

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
With 2007, go to the Styles Tab
Right click on Normal>> Modify...Format
Change the number format to what you require then click OK,OK
