Same spreadsheet, same cell, but different results, with different user

Question

I have a problem with Google sheets since today. The spreadsheet I use to get an amount from a different sheet (within the same spreadsheet).

But the same sheet gives different results depending on who is the user.

In the example in this image it's Cell J5 for user A it is € -50,00 but for user B it is € -5000,00 It seems something to do with value() (it's what I saw on twitter, as many people suffer from this problem since today)

Once their function value is used. (To convert text to a number) It goes wrong depending on the user.

But I can not find out a difference between settings in user A and user B

My question is:

Does anyone already know how to solve this issue (which seems to occur since today)

Answer 1

• US syntax:
  • =VALUE(1.1) = 1.1
  • =VALUE(1,1) = #N/A or #VALUE!
• EU syntax:
  • =VALUE(1,1) = 1,1
  • =VALUE(1.1) = #N/A or #VALUE!

the difference between the two spreadsheets you are looking for is locale settings:
