Question:
How do you show zeros on excel?
2007-10-15 05:03:45 UTC
I'm doing a scatterchart for my chemistry class and the data is .0500 and .0350, ect. I can't get excel to show the trailing zeros, it always cuts them off to .05 and .035. Anyone know how to make this program display the zeros? I went to help and it said to go to tools, options, view and uncheck the zero values box. It didn't work. Does anyone know how to do this? thanks

Hi Alison,



To get the required number of decimal representations on the excel sheet, you need to select a particular cell on the excel sheet.



Right-click the mouse. Go to the format cell option. There will be tabs like: Number, Alignment, Font, Border etc.



By default Number tab is always pre-selected screen.



In the Category box, click on Number. On the right side of the box, there will be drop down called Decimal places.



Based on the maximum number of decimals which you have in the datasheet, select the value of decimal places.



You will able to see the increase or decrease in your selection on the Negative Numbers box on the same screen.



Once you have selected the number of decimal places as required by you, click Okay.



Viola. You will have the desired result.

Trailing zeroes are easy to request from Formatting. Select the column you want and pick Number format and it will ask for the number of places to the right of the decimal point. You can also ask for a field to have leading zeroes.

Technically there's no point in showing additional decimal places if they're zeros because they don't mean anything.



You can, however, show however many decimal places by selecting the number format and increasing the number of decimal places to accomodate the zeros you wish to see.



And for the Excel newbies, you format cells by first highlighting the area you wish to apply formatting to, then go into Format, Cell, the Number tab, select Number from the list and click the up/down arrows in the box marked Decimal Places to modify the numbers after the decimal point.

Right click on the cell, select "format cells", click the "number" tab, then select "number" in the list of types, then select the number of Decimal places on the right side. You obviously want 4. This should do the trick.

you can also click on the button located on the top of the window (short cut key area). there are 2 buttons, one to increase the zeros, and another to decrease the zeros.



on both buttons, u can see 2 rows of zeros. the one with the arrow pointing to the left is to increase the decimals and the one pointing to the right is to decrease the zeros.



hope i am not confusing you though...

placed a unmarried-quote while entering the kind. that's going to manage the kind as text textile, nonetheless. you additionally can stress the cells to text textile format (no longer sort format), this could have the comparable result. in case you go with all numbers to be the comparable sort of places with zeroes before everything in the event that they're short, you ought to use custom format with format like "00000" (as many zeroes as you go with the kind to be long).
