I'm trying to format or use a formula that when i put a value in a cell to
divide by 12.

=A2/12 if you want a formula.

If you want to divide the values in one or more existing cells, put 12 in a
spare cell, copy it, then select your cells, and Edit/ Paste Special/
Divide. (... after which you can delete the 12 from the spare cell.)

Yea I have no problem doing each cell. But I have like 200 cells to do and I
was wondering if i could highlight the whole row or before I put in the value
have it set up. Something like =A/12. but that doesn't work

You cannot format a cell to divide and entered number by 12

You can use a helper cell with a formula =A1/12 in B1 or event code to
divide when you enter the number.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo CleanUp
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
.Value = .Value / 12
End If
End With
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste into that module.

Edit the range to suit then Alt + q to return to the Excel window.

There's something wrong with the code

Is this a request for further assistance or just a declarative statement?
