How do I make my input in cell to be in 2 decimal each time I enter a figure. Say, If I enter a figure, say 3.567, I want it to show just 3.58, if I enter 5.2, it shows 5.20

As before.
Format - Cells - Number and put a checkmark at "Use 1000 separator"

Thanks everyone for your helps. However, I've another problem related to this, i.e If I copy from a different worksheet which has not been formatted, say 3516.256 and paste on this formatted page, the result is back to 3156.256, can the paste result shows 3,516.27

You may Paste Value only
Right after the paste action, click the smart tag or press CTRL --> Value
