Any ideas for a more customized data entry?
I need to be able to enter data in one of two ways, but have it result in the
same value. For example, I need to be able to enter the decimal number '11.22' as 11.22 or <-- I know how to do that :-) 1122 <-- and that :-) but in the end, the number needs to be understood as '11.22' So basically my problem is that I'm either stuck with one data entry method, or another, but I can't seem to find a way to use both in the same cell. I've toyed with the data validation feature, but I haven't found a way to make it do what I want. |
