not include the decimal place. So I need to insert the decimal into the
number. For example the data is

1234

I want to insert the decimal right in the middle as

12.34

If you always want the last two digits to be after the decimal, then enter
100 in an empty cell, then copy it, select the cells you want to change and
select Paste Special. Click divide and all of your selected cells will be
divided by 100. Note that blank cells will now be 0.
