Hi again,
I found out that it is the "date" function that changes the language settings. TBLFM lines without date calc don't change the behaviour.
May I please ask a calc expert to look into that function and investigate the unwanted behaviour.
I am also not sure how to easily reset the language setting manually to the correct one.
Can someone give me a hint please.
Thank you.
Regards, Rainer
