Default Auto Formatting Decimal Point

select the cells you want to format
go to cell properties
on the number tab select 'Custom'
Type this as your custom format 0.00#####

This will always display minimum 2 decimal places and for other numbers
actual decimal places.

Hope this helps!!!

How do you set the workbook to expand the cells to the last digit after the
decimal point but not display any trailing zero's?

Example how would you display A1=3.15476 & A2=4.2 instead of A1=3.15476 &
A2=4.20000 without setting the format individually for every cell, and
without any rounding involved?

Thanks,
