      <input>=NUMBERVALUE("1.234.567,89"; ","; ".")</input> returns 1234567.89 (considering en-US locale). The function removes the two group separators and changes the decimal separator from a comma to a full stop.</paragraph>

      <input>=NUMBERVALUE("123·4"; "·")</input> returns 123.4 (considering en-US locale). The function changes the decimal separator from a "·" to a full stop. No group separator is used in the supplied number and so the <emph>Group Separator</emph> argument is omitted.</paragraph>
