Hi :) Is it possible to write this into a custom format? So that all empty cells would automatically have the xxx.xx until someone started typing?
It seems like something that a database form might do more easily but i'm not sure it's worth the time setting all that up. So, could Calc do something like that? I'm not sure that is what the op is looking for but it might help if it's easy.
