Solution: In the second step after loading file, select "Semicolon" as a Delimiter (separator):

Issue: Wrong decimal values after import of file

Example: When importing a .csv or .xls file with decimal values (for example 105,26) the value imported into the system is 10,526 (in thousands and without the two decimal digits).

System preferences are: 2 decimal places, with decimal separator set to “comma” (,) and group separator set to “period” (.)

Solution: To solve this upon exporting select the Delimiter (separator) to Semicolon as on the image above.
