extracting digits to the right of a decima point

Hi friends,
have a question regarding excel. I have one column in which I have numbers
like 7.5,7.25,etc. I also have numbers like 45,65,etc. I have succeded in
extracting the left digits from numbers like 7.5 by using the left function
in a IF Formula. I needed to extract only the left digit from numbers having
value below 8. This I could do . Now my question is how to extract the digits
to the right of the decimal point. Remember not all numbers have decimal
points. numbers are varied from 7.5 to 65. I need to extract the right digits
like 5 from 7.5 in numbers having decimals and not from whole numbers like
55.any help will be greatly appreciated. Have a great day.
thank you
steve

The INT function truncates digits to the right of the decimal point, rather
than rounding. Subtracting the truncated number from the original number
leaves the decimal portion, if any.

So, if B5 contains 45.975
and B7 contains =INT(B5)
B5 returns 45

=B5 - B7 returns 0.975

Hope this helps,

Hutch
