@Kurt_M  RE: In the Number format, select your preferred format.

 

The OP didn't ask about a preferred number format.  Did you even read the question?

I agree!!

The question is:  how to enter numbers WITHOUT having to enter the decimal point. That means..... I type 12345 and I get $123.45.

 

Is there anyone that can help those of us who have this question?
