    I have a column of numbers like

    [TABLE=”width: 123″]
    [TR]
    [TD]42,045,532[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD]42,086,369[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD]42,168,835[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD]42,151,253

    I actually need them to read 42.045532
    42.086369
    42.168835

    Is there a way i can add a custom format to formula to change the numbers? thanks for the help[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]

      A Custom format like:
      0.000000,,

      Will keep the values (eg 42045532), but display as if they were 1 millionth (42.045532)

      To actually convert the values, put in a cell the value 1000000, select that cell, copy it and then select the range of values, paste-special, and press divide.
