Format the cells as Number with 2 decimal places.
Hope this helps. Pete On Oct 19, 7:34*pm, fnarkie wrote: I am trying to add figures on Excel-instead of 1/2 I am trying to use .50-but it keeps coming up .5-How can I get the 0 in after the 5 |

hi
your cell is formatted to general. so. right click the cell(s) that you want formated to 2 decimals from the popup, select format cells. from the format dialog, select the number tab. from the catagory list, select number to the right will be a spin button where you can select the number of decimal places you want. default is 2. when done, click the ok button. regards FSt1 "fnarkie" wrote: "Pete_UK" wrote: Format the cells as Number with 2 decimal places.

Select the cell, goto menu FormatCells, and on the Number tab, select the
Number category, and set it there. -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "fnarkie" wrote in message ... "Pete_UK" wrote: Format the cells as Number with 2 decimal places. Hope this helps.

Actually,
if your cell really displays .5 and not 0.5 then you are not formatted to general, that would be a custom format of .0 or .# or... If you really want .50, not 0.50, again not a standard format, choose Format, Cells, Number tab, Custom and enter .00 or .00# on the Type line. I doubt this helps, but that's the way it really is. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "fnarkie" wrote: I am trying to add figures on Excel-instead of 1/2 I am trying to use .50-but it keeps coming up .5-How can I get the 0 in after the 5 |
