When i key a random number into a cell (in MS Excel 2007)

the number will automatically divided by 100

for example:
if i key in 2000 and press ENTER, it will become 2 immediately

if i key in 50 and press ENTER, it will become 0.5 immediately


I've checked the data format. the format is "GENERAL".


Something wrong with the settings?
