All Numbers entered divided by 100,000,000,000!
My husband, just called me from work because I'm supposed to be a big Excel guru, or at least all the engineers who work with him think so, but this one has me floored! He was in the middle of a spreadsheet he uses everyday and entered a number. 0 showed up, so he looked at the value, and the number had been divided by 100,000,000,000! After that, each number he entered did the same thing. It's even happening in other spreadsheets. Any ideas? -- peacepuppy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peacepuppy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32130 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=518846 |

Tools-Options-Edit Tab
Unselect "Fixed Decimal" Sounds like a mean prank. :) "peacepuppy" wrote: My husband, just called me from work because I'm supposed to be a big Excel guru, or at least all the engineers who work with him think so, but this one has me floored!

Look to ToolsOptionsEdit tab and uncheck the "Fixed decimal" check
box. (It's probably on and there is the number 12 in the input box. Dropping it to 0 may be a good idea as a precaution for the future.) This is the setting that people use when they want to enter cents, for example. Set the fixed decimal to 2, and when they enter 1234, it appears as 12.34 in the cell. |
