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
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Thanks, how about if I want to have comma as well. Say 2153.255 become 2,153.26

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
