I don't know what that format is.

If you were in the US, then possibly this format is merely dollars and cents,
without the decimal.

If that is the case your original numbers should have two decimal precision.

Just multiply the numbers by 100.

If some of these values are the result of computations, ROUND them to two
decimal first.

e.g. =100*ROUND(A1,2)

How to do this most easily depends on more information than you have posted.
