Engineering notation, also known as scientific notation, is a way of expressing very large or very small numbers in a more compact and readable format. It is often used in scientific and engineering applications, where numbers can be extremely large or small. In Excel, engineering notation can be used to format numbers so that they are easier to read and understand.
To use engineering notation in Excel, you can use the “Format Cells” dialog box. In the “Number” tab, select the “Scientific” or “Engineering” number format. You can also specify the number of decimal places that you want to display. For example, to format the number 1234567890 in engineering notation with two decimal places, you would select the “Engineering” number format and enter “0.00E+00” in the “Type” field.
