Converting imported numbers to decimals (rather than /100)
I have some numbers that I want to import from another program into Excel
that are not shown as decimals. Rather than create a micro that takes every number I import and divide it by 100, is there an easier way to set up my Excel spreadsheet so that when I import these numbers, it automatically converts them? (e.g. they are showing as 1219 and the number should really be 12.19)??? |
Simply import it as it is
Then do the following type 100 into a blank cell copy it select the column that hold the numbers that you need divided by 100 edit-paste special- select divide hit ok 'This will divide the entire range by 100 "Frustrated Excel user" <Frustrated Excel wrote in message ...

What you really should ask is if you can make the exporting program create a file with the values you want. /Fredrik |
