HP 14B need to set decimal point

I don't know which particular calculator model you have, but for an HP-12C, the manual says the following:
Digit Separators
As a number is keyed in, each group of three digits to the left of the decimal point is automatically separated in the display. When the calculator is first turned on after coming from the factory - or after Continuous Memory is reset - the decimal point in displayed numbers is a dot, and the separator between each group of three digits is a comma. If you wish, you can set the calculator to display
a comma for the decimal point and a dot for the three-digit separator. To do so, turn the calculator off, then press and hold down the [.] key while you press [ON]. Doing so again sets the calculator to use the original digit separators in the display.

Round to three digits after the decimal point, so this is 2.442 .

The first digit after the decimal point is the tenths, the second the hundredths, and the third the thousandths.

Dropr all decimal digits except the first one. Round if necessary. Here you round down. Result 4.3

Your Texas Instruments calculator has a built-in printer for producing a permanent record printout of
your calculations with negative numbers printed in red. A big, easy-to-read display also enables you to
check entries or perform quick calculations without printing.
GETTING STARTED
OFF ON PRT IC GT
POWER
1. Connect the calculator to a proper power outlet (110-120V or 220-240V
where available).
2. The calculator is turned on by setting the POWER switch to the PRT
position.
Inserting the paper (see illustrations 1, 2, 3, and 4 on page ii).
1. Turn on the calculator.
2. Open the printer compartment cover by pressing down on its front edge and sliding it back in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Fit the roll of paper on the holder so that it unrolls from the bottom, with the loose end toward the
calculator.
4. Cut the end of the paper squarely and insert it firmly into the printer slot on the back of the
calculator.
5. Press & until the paper is in the printing position.
Replacing the ink roller (see illustrations 5 and 6 on page ii)
1. Turn the calculator off and tear off the excess paper.
2. Remove the printer cover by pressing down on both sides of the front edge and sliding back in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Remove the old ink roller by lifting it with the removal tab.
4. Insert the new ink roller into the compartment and press down gently until it snaps into place. Close
the printer compartment.
Note: The old ink rollers should not be refilled. Replacement rollers can be obtained from your local
retailer. The warranty does not cover ink roller replacement.

No printout is provided; however, the display can be printed by pressing
4.
The printer provides a printout of your calculations but does not count them.
The printer is on and an item count of additions and subtractions to or from
the register is printed when sub-totaled or totaled.
The GT position controls whether or not the totals from the independent add
register are accumulated in the grand total register.
ROUND Rounds the result of a calculation to the selected number of decimal places.

Truncates the result to the selected number of decimal places.
Rounds the result up or down according to its value. For example, when the
DECIMAL switch is set to 2, the result is rounded up if the third decimal
position is 5 or more and rounded down if it is 4 or less.
Rounds the result up to the selected number of decimal places.

DECIMAL + Add mode: All results are given with two decimal places. For addition and
subtraction only, a decimal point is automatically placed to the left of the last
two digits entered, unless the number already includes a decimal point.
F Floating mode: Any results are displayed and printed with the maximum
number of decimal places.
0 2 3 4 Fixed decimal mode: Sets the number of decimals to 0, 2, 3, or 4.

Lets you enter a tax rate to perform tax calculations.
Stores the tax rate. Pressing ! or " after a tax rate has been entered,
adds/subtracts the stored tax rate to/from the value in the display.
Ex. VAT = 17.5 %
100 + VAT
Ex. VAT = 17.5 %

Setup: PRINTER: PRT, DECIMAL: F, ROUND: 5/4, TAX: CALC
Move and hold the TAX switch to SET. Press 217 L 5 and release the TAX switch. It

KEY DESCRIPTIONS
Basic keys
I Clear Entry: Clears an entry, enabling you to enter another number in its place. Note
that this key does not clear the add register.
2 Clear Key: Clears the add register, any pending operations, and the display. 0.C is
printed. Does not clear the memory.
( Right Shift: Deletes the right-most digit entered from an entry before an operation key is
pressed. Shifts the remaining digits one place to the right.
L Decimal Point: Enters a decimal point.
4 Date/Non-Add: Prints a date (such as 12¦10¦96) or a number for reference purposes.
Does not affect calculations. This entry is printed on the left side of the printout, the date
or number preceded by the # sign.
& Paper Advance: Advances the printing paper.
Addition and subtraction keys
9 Add: Adds a number to the add register. Displays the cumulated result.
: Subtotal: Gives the intermediate total from the add register. Using this key does not
affect the contents of the add register.
. Subtract: Subtracts a number from the add register. Displays the cumulated result.
E Total: Gives the total from the add register, and then clears the register.

Multiplication, division, percent and margin keys
? Multiply: Multiplies the number in the display by the next value entered.
' Divide: Divides the number in the display by the next value entered.
3 Equals: Completes any pending multiplication or division operation.
> Percent: Calculates percentages, ratios, add-ons (e.g. of VAT), or discounts.
# Gross Profit Margin: Calculates the selling price of an item when its cost and gross
profit (or loss) margin are known; also used to obtain a price excluding VAT.
Ex.

Answer:
Selling price: 990
Gross profit: 396
Ex.

VAT: 42
/ Grand Total: Gives the grand total of the operations previously performed and stored in the
Grand Total register. Every time a total is obtained with E it is cumulated into this register
(printout shows G+) which is only cleared when / is pressed twice. During long
calculations, if / is not used, this re

You have the calculator set to round everything in the display to zero digits after the decimal point. To change this, press SHIFT [DISP] and then a digit representing the number of digits you want to the right of the decimal point.

The function is called ROUND. It has 2 arguments, (1) the original number and (2) the number of decimal digits. Here is the Excel's help: ROUND(number,num_digits) The number you want to round. • None. num_digits The number of digits to which you want to round number. • If num_digits is greater than 0 (zero), then number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places. • If num_digits is 0, then number is rounded to the nearest integer. • If num_digits is less than 0, then number is rounded to the left of the decimal point.
So for your case use this in a cell "=ROUND(12350*32.75%, 0)" without quotes, where I assume one or both numbers will come from other cells. -Ken
