It means "times 10 raised to the power of". 1E2 is 100, 5E3 is 5,000 etc. Press F1, and in Help Topics type "scientific format". You should see a help section called "Formats for currency, percentages, and exponential notation". If there are too many hits, change Options.. from "at least one of the words you typed" to "All the words you typed". -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |
