Default remove characters on both sides

=A2/10, and format with one decimal place, if you want a number,
or =TEXT(A2/10,"#.0") if you want text.

what if i want to insert a period on the second to the last part of a
field but the number of characters varies?
e.g. 1375 = 137.5
625 = 62.5
500 = 50.0
