Default format inplied decimal point

I am importing a fixed length text file containing numeric data with an
implied decimal point. I want to format the worksheet column to include the
decimal point. E.g. text file '000012345', worksheet column '0000123.45'

I can format the column as numeric to include the decimal point and divide
the value by 100 to get the precision. I am not sure how to define the
calculation for the column.

I'm assuming that dividing by 100 is the easiest way to do this. Let me know
if there is an easier way.

Thanks,
Tom
