My regional settings are programmed as following: decimal = , thousands separator = . When I copy/paste a excel cell (formated as a "number" with 4 decimals)( ex: 4,5214) to a cell of a file in the Downloader, the 4 decimals are converted to zero in the Downloader (ex:4,000) Why? If the format of the excel cell is changed to "text" or "standard" (instead of "number") in excel, the result in the Downloader file is the same, i.e. 4,000 (instead of 4,5214) A change in the regional settings (decimal = . and thousands separator = ,) doesn't help: 4.5214 in excel is then converted to 45,214.00 in the Downloader ... Can you please help?

Open, High, Low, and Close data will accept decimal values. However Volume and Open Interest are expected to have no decimal components.
