Hi Loe,

Thanks a lot for helping me and for helping so quickly because I have to
complete my work in today itself and did not know how to make it possible.

Sorry, it should of course be:

In A2: 50000
In B2: =A2/100

Format B2 with 2 decimals.

Dear all,

I do have a file containing cheques value as by encoded it shows figures
in
dollers & sents without decimal points. I want to convert it to value
with
decimal points.

value value to be converted into

50000 500.00

I tried by formatting it to Number with 2 decimal points by it adds 2
more
Zeros and value looks 50000.00. I tried a lot but nothing happening
please
help me.

Thanks in advance,

Aarif

Hello Aarif

You can't do it with formatting. Formatting doesn't change the underlying
value, it just displays it in different clothings so to speak.
Try this setup:

In A2: 50000
In B2: =A2/2

Format B2 with 2 decimals.
