need a bit of help.....

Not sure I follow but maybe:
=Int(H1)
to return 1108 from 1108.83

Hope this helps

The first thing I'd try is to widen that column.

If the cell is formatted as General, excel will hide as many decimal places as
it can when the column is too skinny.

But if you format the cell as something besides General (number, 2 decimal
places or even a custom number format), you should see ##### when the column is
too narrow.

What was the custom format you used for that cell?

=int(h1) will give you the dollar amount, =h1-int(h1) will give you the
cents. (Caveat: if h1 is negative, this will go to the next lower integer
amount, so -11.82 would turn into -12 and +0.18; holler if you need a way
around that).

thank you guys.
but... may be i didnt explain clearly enough....
I have two columns... H and I ...
in column H i'm entering a dollar amount.. $1,108.83..
once i hit enter, the H column should only show the dollar amount which is 1,108
and
column I should only show the remaining cents which is 83

hope i explained better this time..
