Hi

Select the range with numbers;
From Data menu - Text to Columns (NB! You must have an empty column next to
one with data!)
Next
Type period (.) into Other field
Finish

When you need to preserve original numbers, make a copy the column with them
before. Or use formulas in 2 new columns - like
=INT(A2)
=MOD(A2,1)*N
where N is max number of decimal places in your numbers.

i need to work on just the decimal part of a number - so: how do i split it
off - in format xx.0 - to put the "0" part into a cell in next column?
