Enter "1", cell show ".01". Why?
 

Any number typed into a cell is divided by 100.
If proceded by "=" the number is correct.
What caused this and how can I fix it?

Try this ..

Click Tools Options Edit tab
Uncheck "Fixed decimal" OK

Things should be back to normal now ..

(it's a fixed decimal setting !)

If you format a cell as a date, and then you type 1 in the cell it will
display as 1 Jan 1900.
Similarly, you have some format enabled that displays 1 as .01 Clear the
formats in the affected cells, or format them as type number or General and
you will have the entered numbers displaying correctly.
To format, select the affected cells, right click and choose format
Hope that helps
