<pre>Description:
MS Excel has a feature called "Automatically Insert a decimal point" that
allows you to insert a decimal point of an entered value.
For example: input value into cell: 12345 and you have the program set to
insert a decimal, two places from the right end. So after inputting that value
and pressing ENTER, the software will change it to: 123.45.
This is useful in accounting environments where you want to enter the the value
and it will ALWAYS have a decimal two from the right side. This is 1 less
keystroke per cell when entering data.
It is important that the actual value is changed (divided by 100 when decimal
is selected to be 2 places from the right side, 1000 if 3 places, etc.) and not
simply changing what is DISPLAYED. Since this will be used for math
functions/accounting.
(see additional information for examples and other resource material)
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Input 12300 into cell
2. Press ENTER key
Actual Results:
12300
Expected Results:
123.00
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
