If you want to add a decimal place in Excel, just follow\nthese steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click an integer value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Navigate to Home\n>> Number >> Increase decimal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the button in order to increase the number\nof decimal points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This is the simplest way to increase or decrease decimal\npoints. But there are different ways you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use a function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are three functions, you can use to specify how many\ndecimal places you want to keep when rounding a number. You can round the\nnumber, round it up, or round it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The following function takes the first parameter as a number and the second one as precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    =ROUND(A2,1)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

    Take a look at the following example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you use 0 as the second parameter is will work the same\nway as the CEILING.MATH function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    =ROUNDUP(A2,0)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Press Ctrl + `<\/strong>\n(grave accent) to display formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Format cells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can add decimal places by selecting cells and pressing Ctrl + 1<\/strong>. Choose the Number<\/strong> category and set how many\ndecimal places you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The values will be rounded<\/a> automatically, and not cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Add decimal points automatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you want Excel to automatically treat values with the specified number of decimal places, you can select empty cells and format them (Ctrl + 1<\/strong>) before entering values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Press Ctrl + `<\/strong> to\ndisplay real values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    As you can see there are integers and numbers with different\ndecimal places, but they are all displayed as numbers with one decimal place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Automatically insert a decimal point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There is a way to tell Excel to automatically place a\ndecimal point. It can be advantageous if you work a lot with such numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Navigate to File\n>> Options<\/strong> and click the Advanced<\/strong>\ntab. Check automatically insert a\ndecimal point<\/strong> checkbox and specify the number of places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If add two decimal places, it will divide each number you\nenter by 100 and insert two decimal places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
