[Thomasrp]

Is it possible to change the decimal separator for importing data?

I have data with , as separator can I change the default Point to comma?

Thanks for your interest

I really don't understand your problem, because normally DIAdem can import both types of decimal separators... If you use the ASCII Import the important is that you use the proper configuration for your file type… and if this file uses the comma as a decimal separator, the delimiter character between data will not be a comma… DIAdem should import the data with no problem, but on DIAdem you will see always the "." (dot)

If your problem is that on the DIAdem View you want to see the "," comma you can do the following:

- Right mouse click, and select "Table Settings"

- Change the numeric format, for example "dd,ddd" then you will see only 3 decimal places and the decimal separator will be the comma.

Hope this helps you,

I think the problem was the wrong configurated import filter.

You can change the decimal seperator for each column in the last step of the configuration dialog. Just select the numeric column (data channel) in the data preview and select the right seprator for the data in the upper area of the dialog.

hope this helps
