You can't do it with formatting. You could use another cell with
the formula =A1/100

I want the whole number 259 to appear in a cell and it appears
as 2.59.
I don't have the percent box checked. I also reviewed my
options on the
format cell tab and selected "general" under format but can't
seem to
get rid of the period. What am I doing incorrectly?
