I need to enter a lot of numbers that look like "0.000124". There
are always 3 leading zeros after the decimal.

I'd LIKE to just ENTER "124" and have excel convert it to the "real"
number automatically (sort of like if you enter 40 in a % formatted
column, it automatically converts it to 0.40).

Do I have to use a formula, or is there a custom format that would
work? Thanks!

.... try custom format: "0.000"#
