how to place a decimal after 3rd digit
How do I place a decimal after the third digit of a number (e.g., ICD-9
code). Everything I have tried places decimals from the end of the number. I need to place it third from the beginning of the number. |

how to place a decimal after 3rd digit
Hi,
If you really want to display ICD-9 as ICD.-9 then you will not be able to do it unless the -9 is at the end of every 3 letter entry. IF you want to change the items from ICD-9 to ICD.9 then use the Replace command and replace - with ".". IF you want to change the items from ICD-9 to ICD.-9 then use the Replace command and replace - with ".-". If this helps, please click the Yes button. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Alison" wrote: How do I place a decimal after the third digit of a number (e.g., ICD-9 code).

I need to place it third from the beginning of the number. You will need to enter the codes as TEXT. If you enter them as numbers, Excel will drop the leading zeros and I know of no way to differentiate, for example, 012.8 from 128.0 if they are both entered as numbers without a decimal point. Excel will store both as 128, but one is a type of TB, and the other is a helminthiasis. After entering the value as text, use: =LEFT(A1,3)&"."&MID(A1,4,20) 20 is just some value longer than the longest code. --ron |

how to place a decimal after 3rd digit
Thank you!! It worked. I did have to create the formula in a separate cell.
Once I got the numbers with correct decimals in place, I just copied and pasted them into the original cells.
