Good Morning:

I am importing numbers from another application that uses no decimals into an excel sheet. How do I get the cell to recognize, for example, 24205 is 242.05 and not 24205.00?

Any help would greatly be appreciated....:confused:

Thank You!

I did read that somewhere, but I didnt set it up before I imported the numbers. It is working great now! :)
