I'm trying to use Spreadsheet Trading formulas - realized it auto populates a commar "," whenever I type minus "-". Tried navigating to Working with Spreadsheets page where it mentioned a comma is to separate parameters.
Is it odd for it to auto update a "-" to ","? Looks like it's performing a subtraction function - just worried it'll get mixed up later on. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible you are using a non-US keyboard with the two symbols on the same key? Maybe you need to use the shift key?

There should not be any changes to the formulas you enter in the spreadsheets. If you enter a minus sign (-) then it should stay as a minus sign.

If you are still having this issue, then we would need to see images of "before" and "after", where you are entering the formula and then after it changes what you see.
