Scientific notation

[Hathaway7]

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

@Hathaway7 Like this perhaps?

Choose Scientific in the Number group on the Home ribbon.

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.

@Hathaway7 

Use the custom number format 00.0E+00

Sorry I just notice a typo from my last message. I wanted two decimal places. Also, how do you enter the formula?
Thanks again.

Do you want two decimal places (i.e. two digits after the decimal point), or do you want two digits before the decimal point?
