Updating the System Decimal Separator

In PROKON's structural analysis modules Frame and Sumo, only a dot (.) is accepted as a decimal separator

In Excel, there are predefined system settings, one of which is how Excel separates decimal values. If you’d like to copy data from Microsoft® Excel to either module, you’ll need to change the comma to a dot. To change the system setting, do the following:

  • Go to Microsoft® Start and then Settings
  • Select Time & language, followed by Language & region
  • Scroll down until you find the Administrative language settings and select it
  • In the popup window, select the Formats tab
  • Select the Additional settings… button
  • A second window will open, change the Decimal symbols from a comma to a dot
  • Click Apply and OK

This should update the Excel’s system separator, to use a dot as the decimal separator.
