Default Excel decimal moving?

I am trying to format a cell so that i can input a number and excel will
automatically place the decimal point for me. for eg.

i want to type 12 i want excel to put 0.0012 etc
i want to type 1 i want excel to put 0.0001

can this be done, ive tried to put this in the help but got no joy. pls can
anyone help. I know i can do this by adding other coulmns and doing a
division calculation but that is a messy way for the SS im creating.

thanks
lee
