- The values are updated in Excel
- The Excel file is imported to Workstation. Right click and choose Import from Excel...

Building Operation Workstation
Cause
Workstation can only handle "." (dot) as decimal separator for values imported from Excel. When using "," (comma) Workstation ignores the decimal separator making the value 10 times or 100 times greater than the value entered in Excel. The multiple of 10 depend on the number of decimals you use. If you have 4 decimals the value will become 10 000 times greater.
Resolution
Change decimal separator from "," (comma) to "." (dot) in the Excel file before importing. Find and Replace can be used to search for , and replace with .
