how do I format decimals
 

That is not really a format issue, it is a data issue. Your numbers are all
100 times too big. Try dividing them by 100 and then format them.

I'm having a problem with formatting decimals. The number is 1375850. I'm
trying to get 13,758.50. When I try to format the decimal I get 1,375,850.00.
I have about 1500 number that I have to format. I know how to do manually,
but it takes to long. I'm currently using excel 97. If anyone knows how to do
this I will greatly appreciated.
