Indicates where Excel will automatically put the decimal point in the numbers you enter as constants on a sheet. A positive number moves the decimal point to the left. A negative number moves the decimal point to the right. If the Places box is left blank or set at 0 (zero), you need to manually enter the decimal point. To override this option, type a decimal point as you enter the number.

Accepts: whole numbers from -300 through 300.
