Decimal point

[Jason]

Hi, I have a merge field that I want formatted so that a
decimal point is inserted in the appropriate place in the
number. The number is usually 260.

Right now my merge field looks like this:
(Field29 is the number 260, but the number sometimes
varies.)

{MERGE FIELD Field29 \# "00.00"}

I want the final outcome to look like this: 2.6 or 2.60.

How do I format the merge field?

I realize there is probably a simple answer to this, but I
have tried many different combos and am stuck.

TIA,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Use

{ = { MERGEFIELD Field29 } / 100 \# "0.00" }
