Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then the Edit tab. There,
check the "Fixed decimal" option and enter 2 for the number of
places.

Tools>options>edit and fixed decimal, set it to 2
don't forget to turn it off afterwards

Thanks, When I want to go to whole numbers, 123 do I have to go back to
tools, options, edit and remove the fixed decimal check?

Yes.

You could leave that Fixed Decimal Places unchecked and use sheet event code
to divide your entries by 100 as you enter them.
