How do I format this table so it shows a second zero after the decimal point.

11.10 shows as 11.1, 5.20 shows as 5.2 etc.

I have tried all the obvious tools. Auto Format/Currency adds colours to all the cells.

A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".

    1. Select the cells containing the amounts.
    2. Right-click and choose Format Cells (or press Ctrl+1).
    3. Select the Numbers tab.
    4. Choose Number and set Decimal places to 2.
    5. Click OK.

    A screenshot of the tool bar would have been helpful. Should be an icon thats like a 0.000 with either a plus or an arrow next to it depending on which version your on. Think like excel its a bit odd as the lead 0 is on a different line to the decimal and following zeros

    Thanks Vitor. That worked,
