title: CSV decimal dot in Excel
body: <p>I have a CSV file with the following values:</p>
  <pre><code>3271.96;274;272;1;1;0;1;0.071690;0;0;0;0;0;0;1.753130;1.75;0;1.75;
  </code></pre>
  <p>But when I open the file with Excel I get this:</p>
  <pre><code>3271.96 274 272 1   1   0   1   0.071690    0   0   0   0   0   0   1.753.130   1.75    0   1.75
  </code></pre>
  <p>Why is &quot;1.753130&quot; converted into &quot;1.753.130&quot;? (1.753130 is a decimal number) how can I &quot;force&quot; Excel to understand that these are decimal numbers?</p>
  <p>I create the CSV file with a web application, so is difficult just modify my Excel configuration because many people visit my website and download the CSV file to their machines.</p>
