Some how, I don't know how; but I can no longer just enter numbers without the decimal point automatically placing itself at position 2. If I type 150 without the decimal point because I want it to be 150 it returns 1.50 . Something got changed, don't know what it was. It does not matter what I format it as, General, Number, Accounting or Currency, they all do the same. The only way I can get around this is by formatting as text.

Also, when I type a one or two digit number, ie: 1 or 18 it returns 0. This started happening in the middle of a session. I walked away with Excel was still open, the PC went to sleep, When I logged back in is when it all started.

Using Excel 2019 Standard.

PLEASE ADVISE! THANKS.....

Most welcome, I'm glad it worked for you.
Honestly not sure as to why this happens, but most likely you opened a worksheet or ran a macro that changed that default option.
