In Excel Windows I can choose between dot (.) or comma (,) as decimal separator in Options/ Advanced/ Editing options. Since comma is used in most European countries and dot in the U.S. and many other coutries this causes a lot of problems and sometimes accidents when Excel files from other countries are used. Please introduce the same option in Excel/ Mac/ Preferences – or even better - as a choice for each file. Now I have to replace all dots with commas or vice versa with the risk of involuntarily changing dots that should be dots. And I know I could change settings in System settings/ Language & Region/ Advanced, but that results in changs in all other apps too.

Steps to reproduce:
- store a spreadsheet in a OneDrive folder that is private (in my case no one else can access this folder)
- Protect the spreadsheet with a password to open AND a password to edit (while I am not certain these criteria are necessary, I suspect so since I have not observed this UX fail in cases where private spreadsheets do not have passwords)
- while editing a file, click save at any point (doesn't appear to matter what has been added/edited/deleted in the spreadsheet)

Sporadically "on save" the attached alert bar will display. Sometimes the update saves without a challenge, and other times I get this. I suspect that 1 out of every 5 times I save this occurs. Super annoying since the work around just wastes time: save a copy locally, complete your edits, save a final time, close file, open onedrive web app, move local file into cloud folder, click yes to replace/over writing existing copy, close out, punch ******* wall.

I've been dealing with this UX on my MacBook Pro running OSX for months as of 04/30/19.

when I select a print area, and then go to print - it seems to be the default to have print entire workbook - and I can't seem to change the default, or set up new presets that return automatically, so I just get print the print area selected and set? I used to be able to do this. This slows down my work process considerably and is a massive inconvenience. Who wants print entire workbook as a default? No-one I know. I've tried doing the string as a new preset, but can't get it to return automatically. Printing a selection is now a prolonged and slow process. I used to be able to do this, until quite recently. see screenshot. Can we go back to how it was before this 'upgrade'.

Today at work I encountered this problem while making PDF's of charts for a print publication. The Mac version of Excel is not able to produce proper PDF's! Look at the wonky kerning of the numbers under these charts, and the wobbly dotted lines. Compare them to the perfect kerning in the Excel for Windows 2017 PDF export...!
The same sheet was used for this export. First I thought it was the zoom level of Adobe Acrobat interferring with the pixel mapping of my screen but it is not, the PDFs are just jiggy and messy when exported on a Mac. I hope this feature will see a fix, cause producing PDFs is an important part of my workflow, and I would love to use Excel on my Mac instead of on a virtual windows PC.

I work at a school that uses Excel for grades and must work with files that are made on Excel with a Windows machine. Each time I try to open a file with long lists of names in Japanese and corresponding scores from the student's test, the Excel on my Mac crashes.

I believe the problem has to do with how Excel 16 is encoding the Japanese characters from the Windows machine. I thought it might be a problem of fonts on my Mac but I have checked and all the fonts are in working order, with no problems in Word or other problems such as Numbers or LibreOffice.

Please fix this problem. I am using Mojave.
