Known since 2012 and not fixed? I am suprised.....

To be corrected please

Confluence Server 7.10.1, issue is still there.

Confluence Data Center 7.4.7, still an issue. This is embarrassing.

Atlassian is abandoning us on-prem users... probably won't fix. 

Confluence Server 7.4.0, still an issue.

I think, the decimal separator Problem is the same Problem like this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-32549

XLS works fine, but not as XLSX (Conf Serv 6.14.3 and 7.2.1)

This issue still persists in Confluence 6.13.6
 

Still not fixed? The same problem...

For serious use here in Europe, this is a severe issue. Our business users are quite confused.

Thanks for a fix.

Still an issue in 6.12.0 - causing compliance issues.  

The same here. 

Confluence: 6.8.1

6.5.2 is affected, too.

Not only the office excel macro is affected, but the view file functionallity, too. E.g., if I insert a link to an excel file, and then click on it to view the file

Please Fix.

Confirmed also with version 6.6.1.

Please fix.

Confirmed also with version 6.0.7.

Please fix.

We also with version 6.3.3

In Version 5.9.11 we have this problem only with xlsx-files. Old excel files with ending "xls" are correctly shown.

I can reproduce this problem in Confluence 5.7.6 and 5.9.9

1. Create an Excel file
2. In the first cell write 5000
3. Format this cell as currency
4. Excel displays "5.000 €" as my german region
5. Create page in Confluence and insert the file
6. Insert an Excel View macro
7. Save and see "5,000 €" instead of "5.000 €" in both views

I have still this problem in version 5.9.2

I still have this Problem with the new Filepreview in Confluence 5.8.13.
Test-Datum.xlsx

I could not reproduce this issue on Confluence 5.7, using either the old viewfile macro, or the new File Preview (more information here). Closing as obsolete.

still the same in Confluence 5.6.3

still the same in Confluence 5.3.4

same problem..

I hoped that would be fixed in higher versions of Confluence...

Noticed same issue today on Confluence 5.2.3

Very confusing for users when they expect the date format to be DD/MM/YYYY and the view macro has converted it to MM/DD/YYYY.

Same problem. Number Format has problems as well. (german decimal mark "." get's converted into ",")

We have the same problem

I also have this problem and but there needs to be some additional conditions to reproduce.

What format you use for the cell in excel impacts the result in Confluence.

If I choose the format "2013-01-31" (yyyy-MM-dd) for the cells in Excel, then they will have almost the right format in Confluence. They will show as "2013/01/31" (yyyy/MM/dd).

If I however choose the date format with the asterix "*2013-01-31" (*yyyy-MM-dd) then the result in confluence will be as the description in this issue. The US default will be used (01/31/2013).

There seems to be 2 different issues with the date format for confluence in regards to the viewfile macro.

1. The field delimiters are ignored. Cell formatted in Excel as "yyyy-MM-dd" will show in Confluence as "yyyy/MM/dd".
2. Confluence doesn't handle Excel date formats with asterix . Cell formatted in Excel as "*yyyy-MM-dd" will show in Confluence as "MM/dd/yyyy".
