Keeping the exponent at a fix value in Excel
 
Hi

When formatting in Scientific, how can you keep the exponent constant
and allow the decimal point to move?
For example

If I have:
6.647E-03
1.741E-02
8.378E-02

How do I ensure that Excel keeps the E to E-3 and adjust the decimal
point?

Cheers

I don;t think you can as Scientific only allows decimal places to show.

Could you perhaps make this a number column and have it display the required
number of dp's?
