Default Excel 2003 - converting 51322 to 513.22

Format an empty cell as Number. Enter the number 100 in it. EditCopy.
Select your cells to be divided. Paste Special, check Divide.

Always try new things on a copy of your workbook first.

| only other way is to manually change each cell, and that's about 3000 cells!
