FORMAT function bug

Hello,

 

When I use thousand separator in FORMAT function

FORMAT ( Number, "+#,##0.0%;-#,##0.0%" )
I get number with space separator instead of dot. How can I fix it?

If I don't use FORMAT function, everything is fine, separator is dot. 

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

I have fixed it! The problem was in my computer settings. Space was set as thousand separator. I changed it to a dot.

Seem like that has been forced on number

 

Try like

FORMAT ( Number, "+###.##0,0%;-###.##0,0%" )
