I’ve tried various things and nothing is working out quite like it should. I’ve used the office button, excel options, advanced, and set the automatic insert decimal place to 0'. Then I tried the format cells, and set the decimal places to 2 method. Nothing gives me what I want. I either end up with whole numbers with two decimal places e.g. 23.00 or when i enter 5.23 into a cell I only get ’23’ showing up.
Is there a way to show whole numbers without decimal places and have excel never show more than 2 decimal places in non-whole numbers?
You can format the cell to display maximum of 2 decimal places (and none for whole numbers) by applying the format 0.## in FormatCells -> Number Tab -> Custom -> Type. See this conversation for more details
