Incorrect number entry on Excel for Mac 2011
 
Hi,
Recently, I find that when I open a workbook and type into any cell, a number, say 123, and press enter then the cell shows 0.123. Somehow, every number is divided by a thousand. The General format shows 0.123 as does the Number format. This occurs with all workbooks. Can anyone tell me what is happening?
Thanks.

It sounds like you have a fix to three decimal place in your settings. Remove that and that should take care of your problem. When you enter three numbers it thinks it's the three decimals and calculates it that way. This is going off the top of my head and hope it works

Many thanks for your response. Yes, a box had been ticked in the Preferences - Edit section. Sanity now reigns!
