Yes I have that problem, too. the last number is strange. I had the
problem that I used 45.000 as the german seperator for thousends and it
interpreted it as dezimal english "." so you have to put the string into
"" to mark it as string the result sadly still has the "" around it but
it makes kind of sense. the german umlauts just fail/error here too.

would happy to have here a solution sadly org tables fail for me for
most tasks because it only works useful good with calculations and
numbers, if you dont learn R and maybe use there some magic.

Sorry dont want to be negative but run against many walls and got not
very satisfactory answers to it, most of the time something like WONTFIX
or ITSNOTABUGITSAFEATURE as answer.
