To me the most important way to address this is to allow an
implementation-wide default. The space character is in many ways the
"correct" separator according to international norms, and is even making
inroads into countries such as the US that traditionally use the comma. I
think the space is probably the best "factory" default for DHIS 2, so that
large numbers are readable on demonstration systems, and so we follow
international and emerging standards.

However, an implementation should be able to override this with an
implementation-wide default of comma, where a preponderance of users for
that implementation are more used to this, and/or where exporting to Excel
is a concern.

Expecting users to override the default every time they create a pivot
table is not very user-friendly.
