Go to Tools->Options then select "Settings". There is a checkbox near the bottom for "Use European number format for displayed output".

Hope this helps.

I find that
Go to Tools->Options then select "Settings". There is a checkbox near the bottom for "Use European number format for displayed output".

It show that if answer should be "5.281"---turn -->"5,281" I assume answer is 5281 ,not 5.28

how can I improve?
thanks.

If you are using European number formatting, 5.2 will show as 5,2. The number is still the same (5.2 = 5,2).

Are you using the table tool? If yes, right click on the table tool and you can see some options. Experiment a little with "number format" and see if it does what you need.

All the best,

Tony.
