HI ,
I apologize for the asking this question
I have a list of numbers as observations for a variable like
20
43
200
298
888
4619
5311
5312
20210
20218
How do I convert the numbers more than 3 digits(> 999) to have decimal after the third digit , i.e.,
Convert 4619 -->461.9;convert 5311-->531.1; 20210-->201.10;20218-->202.18
and leave the two digit and three digit numbers as they are i.e., leave 20,43,298 etc as they are
Thanks
Anwar
