If your values are text

If changing the display does not update your values, add a temporary column next to Cost or MAP. For a value in A2, enter =NUMBERVALUE(A2, ",", "."). Fill the formula down, copy the new column, then paste values over the original column.

Check a few rows before uploading. This conversion is for values that currently use a comma as the decimal separator.
