Default Wrong Numerical Input

When I input a numerical value to a cell, say 12, the cell will appear as
0.12. And indeed the "value" of this cell becomes 0.12 not 12.

How to resolve this problem? I have checked the cell formatting. There is
nothing wrong with it.

Thanks.

Go to your Tools / Options, click the Edit tab. Uncheck the "Fixed Decimal
Places".

That should do it.
