MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2007how to enter multipliers in excel
Instead of tying in 3*10^3 for 3000. whats the shortcut to do this with regards to the scientific calculator where you have the 'E' button right beside the Ans button. That 'E' button represents x10^*, where * is any integer. For an example. How do you type 3.35Km? do you have to do it like (3.35*10^3)m? > Instead of tying in 3*10^3 for 3000. whats the shortcut to do this with > regards to the scientific calculator where you have the 'E' button right [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > For an example.

You can format the cell to "scientific" - then when you type in "3000" the cell shows "3.00E+03" Hmm that is interesting... so if i change that cell to scientific then i can type 3000 as 3E+3 and do maths that way without having to put brackets? ill give it a go though. > > Instead of tying in 3*10^3 for 3000. whats the shortcut to do this with > > regards to the scientific calculator where you have the 'E' button right [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > You can format the cell to "scientific" - then when you type in "3000" the > cell shows "3.00E+03" You do not need to format the cell. You can type 3E3 and Excel will display 3.00E+03 best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email > Hmm that is interesting... so if i change that cell to scientific then i > can [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> the >> cell shows "3.00E+03" Or you can just type in 3E3, which is what I think the OP was asking. 3.35E3 is of course longer to type than 3350.

How do i go by that? instead of formatiing cell to show it as general or numerical and not scientific Calador -- Just do the reverse of what's been described. Format the cells to number (perhaps 0 decimals with a comma separator). Then, when you type in 3E3, it shows up as 3,000.
