Default Omitting the whole number when formatting decimals

How many digits do you want to show if there are only 2 decimal places after
the decimal point? What about if there are 7? Your "copy the last four
digits" comment is what raised this question.

Hi,
I am trying to omit the whole number when it is copied into a new cell.

Ex. 29.8765 = .8765

I do not want a leading 0 either or for the decimal to be rounded up or
down, but copy exactly the last four digits behind and including the
decimal
point.

I also would like to nest this formatting in a formula that combines
copying
the number from the old cell to the new and then automatically format.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
