Connected Table - number import problem

Hello,

I setup a connected Table that contains decimal numbers using comma as decimal separator. The data looks like this:

ID,Num_1
"1","1234,56"

When I create the table the fields are created as type "text" and the number value look like in the import file (1234,56).
After changing the field type to "Number - Currency" with the format "12.345.678,00" the number field will show the correct data 1.234,56 €.

I then update the import file to


ID,Num_1,
"1","2234,56"

and trigger a refresh of the connected table.

After the refresh the value gets displayed as 223.456,00 €.
It seems like in the update process QB does not recognize the decimal separator any more.

Does anybody have an explanation or solution for this?

    Trying to rule out to obvious, did you set the decimal places in the field property to 0?

      No, it is set to 2. 
      I just tested with point as decimal separator and the appropriate format mask and it worked. So I guess it is a problem with the comma as decimal separator.
