Replace decimal separator

Help
1

Hello,
We use data scrapping to obtain exchange rates from a website.
The result is stored in a Data Table and written in an Excel file.
We have the following issue…
On the website, the decimal separator is a comma and the thousand separator is a white space.
But once in Excel, the result is different…
For example :
For 1 EUR you have 1,607.54 MMK written 1 607,5400 on the website we use.
In Excel the result is 1 607,5400 and is not considered as a number.
How can we manage this issue ?
Thanks for your help

Hi,

looks like The input number format itself is wrong.
So, we need to remove white space first for that you can use the below options

Option 1: use String replace function
XYZ.Replace(" “,String.Empty) or XYZ.Replace(” “,”")

Option 2: Use Regex
XYZ = Regex.Replace(XYZ, @“\s”, “”)

after you remove the space again you replace comma (,) with Dot(.)
