Scientific notation
Hello, I am trying to convert .39 as a scientific notation in excel or word, but I cannot see how you can do it. Any suggestions? Thanks Michael

Thanks for the reply. I need to do it to decimal places. Would that be 39.0E-02?

Hathaway7 Don't understand. I entered 0.39 and that becomes 3.90E-01 when you format it as Scientific.
- Hathaway7Aug 28, 2022Copper ContributorSorry I just notice a typo from my last message. I wanted two decimal places. Also, how do you enter the formula?
Thanks again.- HansVogelaarAug 28, 2022MVP
Do you want two decimal places (i.e. two digits after the decimal point), or do you want two digits before the decimal point?
