You could give the cells a custom format of:
General*.;-General*.;0*.;@*. Positive;negative;0;text The *. says to repeat the dot enough to fill the cell (to the right). You may not want it on the numbers, though.

Dave, that worked to repeat the dots but it messed up all my dates and times.
Is there any way to fix that? Thank you so much for your help.

Select your date cells and give it a format like:
mm/dd/yyyy;-General;0;@*. (all positive numbers will be treated as dates) Stressed Student wrote: Dave, that worked to repeat the dots but it messed up all my dates and times.

Or maybe:
mm/dd/yyyy*.;-General;0;@*. The *. stuff adds the trailing dots. Stressed Student wrote: Dave, that worked to repeat the dots but it messed up all my dates and times. Is there any way to fix that?
