    Formatting Cell Problem

    Hi,
    I have a worksheet that I have formatted as Number with 0 decimals. One of the columns though displays 2 decimals and I can't seem to format it differently. I have tried highlighting even one cell and reformatting it individually to no avail. It is carrying 2 decimal places. I've also tried using format painter, but still doesn't work.

    Anyone have any idea what is going on?

    Re: Formatting Cell Problem

    What is the result of =ISNUMBER(C2) (assuming that column C is the problematic column.

    If it returns FALSE, the "number" is being seen as a text value.

    There could be a couple of reasons for this.

    Try highlighting the problematic column > Data > Text to Columns > Finish

    Can you now adjust the number of decimal places?
