Using the Scientific Format in Table Cells
Use the scientific format to display numbers using an exponent raised by the power of
10. The exponent is displayed following an “E.” For example, the value 5.00 in scientific
format displays as 5.00E+00. And the value 12345 displays as 1.23E+04.
To define a scientific format that displays two decimal places, select one or more cells,
click the Cell Formats button in the format bar, and then choose Scientific from the
pop-up menu.
