When entering whole numbers in Column F, which is formatted as Catogary
"General", it displays as a decimal number. How do I correct this?

Thanks in advance.:confused:

Hello cmlm,

Try Tools + Options + Edit tab. Uncheck the Fixed Decimal box.

Is the number being displayed the same as the number you are entering, or is it
being divided by some power of 10?

If the latter, then Tools/Options/Edit and DEselect Fixed Decimal
