The currency comes with comma as thousands separator. This would be in
conflict with any comma as decimal separator.
I would not handle this mess with spreadsheets. First I would blame the
creator of this ugly shit. Ask for clean text data with no leading and
trailing spaces, currency symbols "Rp" in extra columns and proper
numerals. If this is not an option, I would write a simple script to
clean up the mess.
