Formula in cell is "=QUOTIENT(9,2)" returns 4.000. Can't change its mind.
tried repair. Office 2000 (Excel) running on XP.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
It does exactly what it is supposed to do. If you check out the QUOTIENT function in Excel help, you will see the following:

Returns the integer portion of a division. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of a division.

If you are looking for 4.5, simply use:
=9/2
