Default how do i get only the decimal value in excel

Hi -- there is a way to return the fractional part of a number (in a
fractional form) using a function (or two) in Excel.

If you want a positive value for the fractional part of the number
(irrespective of the sign of your particular number), place your number of
interest (e.g. 23.45) in cell A1 and try this formula: =ABS(A1-TRUNC(A1))

If you want the fractional part of the number to reflect the sign of your
particular number (e.g. -0.45 for -23.45), place your number of interest
(e.g. 23.45) in cell A1 and try this formula: =A1-TRUNC(A1)

I hope that helps.
