Peter wrote literally:

"I have been asked on Facebook, and I found a forum thread if there is a 
feature that interprets the entry of numbers the last 2 numbers as digits.

So if you enter 1234 calc will enter 12.34 in the cell."

in my words, it means:
Peter is looking for a function with which he can achieve that when typing:
<1><2><3><4><ENTER>

the cell contains the value 12.34.

and I've been around since 2004 and have written the best-selling 
German-language book on OpenOffice.org Calc: 
http://calc-info.de/informationen.htm

But are these the criteria that decide here, in this discussion? I think not.
