Unable to line up decimal points in some columns.
 
I'm trying to line up calender dates which are written in the following format:

1. 1
10. 5
23.12
5.11

So far I've managed to line up the decimal points without problems, though
now in some columns I've noticed that despite having formatted dates with 2
decimal places, when I click on certain cells, they get reduced, for example,
from 1.10 to 1.1. Also, if they start out as, say, 1.1 and I attempt to
change them to 1.10, the change takes place, but the numbers become right
justified. If I then attempt to left justify and line up the decimal points,
I find myself back to square one.

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Mikael

What about formatting them like "dd.mm":

01.01
10.05
23.12
05.11

That's great! It worked. It means a few extra zeros, but I can live with that.

Thanks, Stefi.
