Hello XU,

The #VALUE! error points to input parsing, not the Office edition. Please:

Unify separators: If your lat/long use , as decimal, keep system separators, but replace any thousands separators and extra spaces. Or set File → Options → Advanced to decimal . temporarily.

Clean characters: Remove °, ‘, “, non-breaking spaces.

Force numbers: Select the column → Data → Text to Columns → Finish.

Localized formulas: If you use worksheet formulas, ensure they’re valid in your Excel language (but VBA WorksheetFunction uses English names).

If you’re using my VBA, replace inputs with ToDbl() as shown above—this eliminates locale issues and clears #VALUE!

Regards,
