That's why we convert the thousands separator into blanks in our

And convert the rest with the built-in-function into numeric values.
All numeric! Display file fields are defined as character and the
representation depends on the language used.

--> "1234567,89" --> 1234567,89
--> "1 234 567,89" --> 1234567,89 --> "1 234 567.89" --> 1234567,89 --> "123 456 789" --> 123456789
Yup - if you know the locale, you can convert the number. Another option is to compress out the thousands separator (either "." or "," depending on locale), then convert any commas to periods. At that point, you have a US-style number.
