Number Formats

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

By default, Soulver uses the settings from your devices'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

You can also select a different number format in Soulver's Calculator > Number Formatting settings

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

Tick Convert foreign numbers when pasting to automatically convert numbers in foreign formats to your chosen number format when pasted into your sheet.

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
