Default 1 becomes 10, how can I stop this

Iv'e been working with basic formulas and worksheets for a short time. Today
I opened a saved sheet and found that when I use a number and enter to the
next cell, the number gains a zero ie 1 becomes 10. If anyone can help out
with this I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

check for the format of cells.
right click on the cell in which 1 turns to 10 select Format cell and
see for its format and change it to yor required format according to
your data.

Try with this (I'm not sure...):
Menu Tools, Options, tab Edit, deflag Fixed decimals

(I'm not sure of names of menus, options and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Ciao

Hi HerbalDave

If custom formats aren't the probelm, check to see if a macro is
changing the cell.

Thanks to all that answered. By opening: Tools, Options, Tab Edit and
De-flaging fixed decimals, the problem was solved.
