It is very important that you either use one of the standard Language (Country) formats or you Customize a format very carefully. A close look at the table above will show you what would happen if you simply changed the Decimal Symbol to a comma [,] while leaving the List Separator also set to comma (ChartOverlay would not know how to interpret something like 0,382,0,618,1,272,1,618). ChartOverlay does check for this condition when it starts up, and it will terminate with a warning if it should discover this problem.

Decimal symbols other than period [.] and comma[,] have not been tested. If you try one, please let us know how it works.
