Default Inserting . in a number

Hi
one way (if A1 stores this number):
=LEFT(TEXT(A1),4) & "." & MID(TEXT(A1),5,4) & "." & RIGHT(TEXT(A1),4)

JC

add a column and put this formula in the top cell:

=LEFT(A2,4)&"."&MID(A2,5,4)&"."&RIGHT(A2,4)

This assumes your data is in column A and starts in cell A2. Drag the
formula down. Select the new column of data. Copy it and then Paste
Special | Values back over itself. You can then copy the data over the
original if you wish.

Regards

Trevor
