Reading money from excel sometimes return 0

[kabeza]

Hi Gerardo
Do you know why I'm getting 0 returned sometimes while reading money amounts from Excel ?
I'm importing data with PHPSpreadSheet and I use Money class in a function, during a foreach

Cells in spreadsheet doesn't have any format. And some amounts have . as decimal separator and others have ,

function moneda($monto)
{
	$currency = new Gerardojbaez\Money\Currency('ARS'); 
	$currency->setPrecision(2); 
	$currency->setThousandSeparator('.'); 
	$currency->setDecimalSeparator(','); 
	$currency->setSymbolPlacement('before');  
	$money = new Gerardojbaez\Money\Money($monto, $currency);
	echo $this->echonew("Monto:".$monto."<br />".$money);
	return $money;
	//echo Money::parse('$1,200.90', 'USD')->toDecimal();
	//return moneyFormat($monto, 'ARS');
}

Thanks

It's probably because "monto" has a $ sign in front of it.
