need assistance in converting three columns of numbers (all 5digit) to insert
the decimal 2 places in.  I am only able to add decimal at end, which makes
it 51322.00

only other way is to manually change each cell, and that's about 3000 cells!

please advise, and thanks, in advance for prompt reply.

Format an empty cell as Number. Enter the number 100 in it. Edit>Copy.
Select your cells to be divided. Paste Special, check Divide.

Always try new things on a copy of your workbook first.
