Hi Deesh,

Have you created the file using your current Excel version or is it an 'old' file that you are now opening with your current Excel version?

Might be a conversion issue. So try to recreate your workbook.

In case that fails. The following code will change all cells to number format with 2 decimals on all sheets upon opening your workbook. First you need to implement the code, save your workbook and then re-open to see the result.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
    With ws
        .Cells.NumberFormat = "0.00"
    End With
Next ws
End Sub


Code needs to be placed under ThisWorkbook:

Hopefully this will solve/help with your unusual query.

Best regards,
Trowa
