Default Setting formatting for 2 places

Just a precaution to keep in mind:
Bob's post is the only ways I can think of as well. However, If you
use the Tools--Options methied, for numbers such as 2450, you will
need to enter 245000 or it will enter 24.50. If you go with the Paste
Special--Divide method, it will divide ALL selected cells by 100,
including the 2450 if it is selected, making it 24.50.

I have a worksheet with 3 columns. Some numbers are like. 2450.00. Some are
7.47 and some are 125.69. I have the columns formatted for 2 places. Is there
anyway to simply enter a number in a specific column and not have to enter
the decimal while entering the number and have it automatically make it 2
decimal places.

Example when I enter 2450 it formats the number 2450.00 which is perfect -
that is what I want it to do. But, if I enter 7.47 I have to enter the
decimal or else it formats 747.00. Is there anyway to make that column format
7.47?
