Default How do I format to currency when number includes cents?

I have a worksheet that I'm working on which contains figures which I need to
convert to currency but the amounts in the columns include the cents (ex.
81223) this number should be $812.23. Is there a way to format this?

If you just format this number, it will still really be 81,223 and any
subsequent math will reflect that value. I would change them to regular
decimal numbers first, then Copy pastespecial Values and format for
regular currency.......

=(MID(A1,1,LEN(A1)-2)&"."&RIGHT(A1,2))*1

Another way to achieve this without using a helper column is to type
100 into a blank cell somewhere. Select this cell again and click
<copy. Then highlight all the cells which you would like to convert
and click Edit | Paste Special | Values (check) and Divide (check) then
click OK. This will convert all your values, and while the cells are
still highlighted, then you can click Format | Cells and apply your
currency format.

Hope this helps.

Pete
