Default format number

Is is possible to format cells to drop the last digit of a number yet keep
the value?

If I have a cell that contains 220, I want the cell to display 22, yet I
want to be able to chart the value of 220.

Can this be done?

Have you thought about just using an extra column?

Use one column for the value to display and one column for the value to chart.

You could even hide the column that's used for charting.

Hi Dave,
I had already thought of this, however was hoping that the format number
would allow this formating as well.
Thanks,
CB

As far as I know, formatting does not allow this style.
