Sometimes, a report downloaded from the platform might not be shown properly in Excel, for instance, when it comes to the regulated tariff or other fees.
This happens because the PRISMA Platform uses the English system separators - this means the "," is the separator for thousands whilst the "." is the separator for decimals - and if Excel is using the non-English system, this could lead to improper display of the numbers.
But don't worry!
You do not have to change the entire Excel settings to see the correct data.
Instead, you can proceed with a format conversion.
