Default Formating a decimal number

I think you're going to have to explain the problem in more detail.
With those two numbers in A2 and A3, the formula =AVERAGE(A2:A3) gives the
answer 0.2295. It shows it that way with the cell formatted as General. If
you want to format as number with 5 decimal places, you can do so, and then
see 0.22950. What are you trying to achieve, how did you try to do it, and
what result did you get?
