ASAP Utilities › Info & List › 20. Display Regional Settings Used by Excel (Separators & Date Format)

This tool displays the regional settings Excel currently uses on your system.
It shows:

Decimal separator (e.g., period or comma)

Thousand separator (e.g., comma, period or space)

List separator (e.g., comma or semicolon)

Date separator (e.g., slash, dot, or hyphen)

Date format order (e.g., day-month-year, month-day-year) These settings affect how Excel displays and interprets numbers, formula arguments, and dates. Knowing your current settings is important because mismatched or unexpected separators can lead to:

Incorrectly imported CSV or TXT files

Dates being misinterpreted (e.g., 03-04-2025 as March 4 or April 3)
