Default 1 entered in cell comes up as 0.0000000001

I have checked the cell format properties and set it to general and then
number w/ 2 decimal, the only way i can get 1 to stay as a 1 is to change the
cell properties to text. Why is it doing this? it just started today and i
dont know what i did.

thansk!
