Number Formats

Should Soulver interpret . as a decimal point or a thousand separator?

By default, Soulver uses the settings from your device's Language & Region system settings.

macOS System Settings inform Soulver of the number format to use based on your region

Choose your number format settings

On Mac, choose a different number format using Settings > Numbers > Number format.

Select one of three standard regions in addition to the system region

Format	Thousand separator	Decimal Point
North America	,	.
Western Europe	.	,
Eastern Europe	(space character)	,

Either . or , may be used as the decimal point in the Eastern Europe region

Automatically inserting thousand separators when typing

Tick Format numbers with thousand separators in the Editing settings pane,

10000 will be automatically formatted as 10,000 (in North America, for example)

Soulver can automatically insert thousands separators into your numbers as you type

Converting numbers from foreign formats when pasting

On Mac, enable Convert foreign numbers when pasting in Settings > Numbers to convert pasted numbers into your chosen number format.

Sheets using foreign number formats will be automatically converted into your chosen number format when opened.

Using underscore as thousands separator

You may use an underscore character to separate numbers.

This is commonly supported in programming languages, so you can easily copy and paste numbers between Soulver and your code
