Turn a four digit number into pounds & pence

[Kolsballs]

Hi

I don't know if this is possible but can you turn a four digit number e.g
1234 into 12.34 in excel. I have tried many things but nothing seems to work.

I have over 10,000 cells to change into this format and it would take to
long for me to change them manually. The file is originally a csv file as I
have been trying to upload this file to an epos tile but when the price shows
up on the till it comes up in the thousands instead of the pounds and pence
amount.

Many Thanks

Enter 100 in an unused cell.

Copy that cell.

Select the range to change and Edit>Paste Special>Divide>OK>Esc

Delete the 100 from the cell.

Hi,

You can aslo try this but even before you do so, please remember that the
number in the original cell will remain 1234, it is only the display that
will change to 12.34.

In format > Cells put the following format in Number . Category > Custom >
Type

#,##0.00,

Doesn't that show 1.23, rather than 12.34?

That is right. Sorry misread the question
