Why does the screen show other than what I type into a cell?
I'm entering an amount into a cell, but the screen shows a number altogether
different from what I type. I checked the format of the cell. I couldn't see anything wrong. |

Maybe a stupid question, but...
What did you type and what did you see? And how was the cell formatted? -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "CJ" wrote in message ... I'm entering an amount into a cell, but the screen shows a number altogether different from what I type. I checked the format of the cell. I couldn't see anything wrong. |

Amount, hmm..., numbers?
FormatCellsNumbersDecimal places maybe perhaps you typed in 0.899756 and are getting 1 because you have 0 or too few decimal places formatted....????

Can't say for sure without an example, but try these two solutions.
I. Under Tools-Options-Edit Tab Make sure the "Fixed Decimal" is unchecked. This will change 260 to 2.6 and 2620 to 26.2. II. Check the formatting. You might have a strange custom number format like 1234 this will make any number entered show up as 1234 instead of the number. Change it to General or Number or something more appropriate.
