 ##  Number Format Detection Behavior Based on System Culture
 
 In Microsoft Excel, when a value is inserted, the system's culture settings determine whether the value is interpreted as a [Text](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IRange.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IRange_Text) or [Number](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IRange.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IRange_Number). If it is a valid number according to the current culture, Excel automatically detects and applies a corresponding number format.
