Hi

I have an issue whereby every time I want to enter a number I have to enter 2 zeroes after it so it shows up correctly. An example is if I just enter the number 5, it shows in the cell as 0.05. If I enter 500 then it shows up in the cell as 5. This is extremely frustrating and I cannot solve the problem. Please can someone help out?

Regards
