Depends.

Are we addressing the UK/USA or Europe? And have you considered the Indian system?

Europe

Not the same throughout?

[aboynamedgoo]

All I care about is how the Dutch separate the thousands: with a dot

It was embarrassingly recently that I learned that most countries use , as the decimal separator

Decimal separator | Countries using decimal comma

the Indian system

Somehow only encountered this earlier this year for the first time, despite having spent the past ten years working with large numbers in spreadsheets and closely with colleagues in India. Was only when someone transferred to our office and I was sat at his desk I spotted what I thought must have been a bug.

For the uninitiated, 12,34,56,789 would be an example.
