: Data is incorrect after importing variable library into Illustrator I have a bunch of graphs in an Illustrator document. All of them are tagged and have been exported to an XML document. I

Apparently the problem arose because I had commas in the data that I was importing. Illustrator read those as decimals for some reason.

Originally, the data in my XML looked like this:

<graph1>
<data numDataColumns="9">
<values>
<row>
<value key="name"></value>
<value>3,195</value> [when imported, became 3.00]
<value>4,819</value> [became 4.00]
<value>10,490</value> [became 10.00]
<value>2,324</value> [became 2.00]
</row>
</values>
</data>
</graph1>


Removing the comma solved the problem.

<graph1>
<data numDataColumns="9">
<values>
<row>
<value key="name"></value>
<value>3195</value>
<value>4819</value>
<value>10490</value>
<value>2324</value>
</row>
</values>
</data>
</graph1>
