That does not "convert" the value.

Just displays the same value differently.

Hope you're not relying on 5.0 when adding up your phone bill.

Hi,

As Gord said this does not convert the 5000000 to 5 it just changes the
display. If you want to convert a lot of number in the same way:

1 Enter 1000000 in an empty cell
2. Copy the cell
3. Highlight all the cells you want to convert and choose Edit, Paste
Special, Divide
