    Decimal placement

    Hello there,
    I received help earlier with a formula but now I cannot seem to get my decimal placed properly. I have the cell formatted as a percentage with 3 decimal points.

    Here's the formula in my cell:
    =IF(C7="Wells Fargo", 0.25,IF(C7="Freedom",IF(OR(C8={"FHA-Streamline","FHA-Purchase","FHA-Straight Refi"}),0.375,0),0))

    This worked to return the correct value but now my cell is showing 37.500 instead of 0.375 and 25.000 instead of 0.25.

    This happens when I enter .375 instead of 0.375 in any cell. I don't know why, I just know that when I am manually entering info, I need to enter a Zero before my decimal point.

    Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks so much!
    ~Tina

    Change the format from Percentage to Number and set the decimal places to three.

    Wow... that was easy.
    I just added a percentage sign to the formula part so that my form looked uniform and I'm set.
    Thanks a million!
