    Numbers Are Automatically Divided to Thousandth Decimal If No Decimal Used

    Hello,
    A few weeks ago I first noticed that when entering whole numbers into a new Excel 2010 spreadsheet they were automatically being divided to the thousandth decimal. For example, when I entered 152 into a cell it became 0.152. I have tried both General and Number cell format but no such luck. Not sure if this was the result of a Microsoft update but I didn't have this problem when I first started using the new computer in the spring 2013 and none of my coworkers have had this problem either, running similar systems.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Thanks, that took care of it. Not sure how that setting was changed.
