Excel spreadsheets messing up my decimal point
This has got to be a daft question but I'm damned if I can see what's
causing it... If I enter a number like "23" into a cell (ie without the quotes), it transates on screen to "0.0023" unless I specifically enter it as "23.0". This is for a cell formatted as "General" "Number" or "Currency", but not as "Text". Happens on any spreadsheet on my PC, and has been doing so for weeks! What have I done wrong? Thanks David |

ToolsOptionsEdit tab, uncheck Fixed decimal Fantastic! Thanks, Niek. (How on earth did that box ever get ticked? I'm sure I've never even viewed that particular sub-menu before! And I'm struggling to think what possible use this decimal facility is...)
