SergeiBaklan See attached sheet. I highlighted the problem. Green cells are fine, yellow cells will not accept a decimal so instead of 12.215 gals, I get just the string 12215...argh. I have been keeping this file for years. Thanks for the help!

Mark, I'm not able to reproduce, all numbers are entered correctly (left column here)

Cleaned it in attached file, not sure how that could affect.
So far have no idea what it could be.

That's on initial file or one I attached? The latest is cleaned.
