I am having a problem with data entry recently. If I type in a number, for
example "1", the cell reads it as ".01" If I want to get the cell to show
"1" after I leave, I have to type "100". I had changed the settings about
two months ago to have excel read a document that was separated by commas,
but I thought I had returned everything to its original settings. If anyone
has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it as I use excel often, and
am getting annoyed at typing in the extra numbers for no reason.
