    Insert a decimal point 2 characters to the left

    Hello-

    How do I insert a decimal point 2 characters to the left of a number. For example I have 201 in cell E2 and I want to change it to 2.01 so I can convert to a percentage. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    One way. In another cell, type 100. Then copy it and go to the cell(s) which you wish to change. Do a Paste Special> Divide. Does that work for you?

    That worked perfectly. I have never done a paste special using an operation, that was great.

    Thanks so much!!!!!
