[solved] Numbers export CSV with commas (instead of semicolons)

If you need to export a numbers file into CSV format comma-separated, instead of semicolon-separated, change "Number format" to "1,234,567.89" (first option).


Go to General > Language & Region.

No, Badunit, I was referring to MacOS settings! On System Settings you can find "General > Language & Region" menu (i'm using Ventura 13.2.1).

At first I tried changing for a region with a different number format on Number settings, but with no success.

After changing on System Settings it worked!

I believe "General > Language & Region" is referring to iOS settings. The equivalent in MacOS would be in System Settings.


With respect to Numbers->Advanced->Language & Region, if you choose a region with a different number format, your document will use that number format. It appears it will not change the CSV separator, though. All it did was put quotes around my numbers.
