Default Excel Currancy Decimals

Hello,
I set up a worksheet to add my totals, put the tax on, round up and then grand
total. Everything is working fine except the tax total does not have any
decimals if the total is 1.24 it looks like 124 or .50 cents looks like 50 any
help would be appreciated.

maybe you didn't apply the tax right?. Or, divide by 100

Please don't post the same query multiple times.

You are using 6 (or whatever) for the tax rate, instead of 6%. Use
6% in your formula, and all will be well.

Select the cell with the tax total
Right-click it
Choose Format Cell...
In the Category column, pick either Number or (even better) Currency
Specify the number of decimals
Click OK
