Default SI units Conversion

I have hundreds of data in millimetre and would like some help in converting
them to metres without having to place decimal points three places from the
right on each cell.

Thanks,

Desilkman

You have many options. It depends on what else you don't want to do. Here's
one option:
* Put 1000 in an empty cell.
* Copy that cell
* Highlight the data you want to change
* Right-click, choose Paste Special... DivideOk

Regards,
Fred

Hi,

Put the number 1000 in an empty cell and copy it.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
