Mail Merge with formatting alters data
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
When I perform a mail merge with no formatting (the Merge Field being "MERGEFIELD Cycle1Subject1StudentPercentage"), the answer that appears is correct "52.33"
However, if I do it using a formatting switch ( "MERGEFIELD Cycle1Subject1StudentPercentage # 0") the answer is completely different "85"
I am stumped thus far. Is my CSV file incorrect? I have tried opening it, converting text to columns and then saving as CSV again
Thanks

Alrighty, seems that I have answered my own question. My decimal character in language settings was set to a comma which was interfering. Setting it to a point corrected this.
Hope this helps someone
