It means that Excel is using a fixed number of decimal places in numbers.
No decimal point needs to be entered as Excel will automatically do that.
Change it or disable it from the Tools (menu) | Options | Edit (tab)

In the status bar where you see the indicators NUM for Numlock CAPS for
Capital letters there is also FIX.
What does it mean and how is it activated?

Thanks for your help
