Your client is correct if running 2003 version and I think 2002 also.

With FD enabled and set to 2 DP you can override this by adding the DP to the
number as your client states.

25. returns 25.00 if cell formatted as number or 25 if cell formatted as
General

25 returns 0.25 with either formatting.

Why not working............??

Maybe HelpDetect and Repair?

Maybe this is how it's supposed to work, but my client says it's not. She has
fixed decimal set under tools, options with 2 decimal places. However she
said in the past she could type 25. and it would show up as 25.00 and if she
typed 25 it would show up as .25 but now either way she types it the result
is .25 and she wants it to be the way it used to be. So my question is what
is the best way to do this and how is it supposed to work?

Thanks,
