Try zero virgule huit.. 0,8 is the French format.

Thank you, Mark

That cannot be right. Computers, excel files and all other mathematical notations require the decimal point to be a point, not a comma. Try putting a comma into a spreadhseet and see what happens.

I have never tried a French spreadsheet but (the English) 9.8 in French is always 9 virgule 8...    9,8.

Maybe they work in English in their spreadsheets.. but I am pretty sure that Gallic pride dictates that the French version of Excel is demands the virgule.

Chris - Excel (and other apps) use regional settings to understand number and date formats so if you're working on a computer set up as French Excel will deal with those number formats with no problems. Similarly between US and UK date settings.
