Is It 
giving you %? Try changing the numerical format to number or currency.  I 
do the same thing all the time and it does show up correctly.

  to excel : formatproblem
  Hello friends,
   
  If i copy the open price from the downloader data to 
  excel
  excel gives another format :
   
  example :   Open price in downloader :   
  24.9375
  <FONT 
  size=2>                  
  Excel 
  makes                  
  :   249.375
  <FONT 
  size=2>                  
  
  i just want a copy (so 24.9375)
   
  How can i tell excel to give me : 
  24.9375           
  Change cell properties or ??  
   
   
  Thanks for your help.
