Excel - how to add decimal dash to the whole column?

I have list of amounts, which are without decimal dash, but I need to add it before 2 digits from right. Here is the example of data: enter image description here

So, basically, I would need to add dash / dot like that:

-1297.25 -5517.92 -4653.97 etc.

I dont know, how to treat it, since the number of digits from left side will change from case to case, therefore I cant use =REPLACE function.

Could you advise me, please?

Many thanks!

If you don't want to use a formula, search for a free cell and write a 100 in it. Copy this cell to the clipboard. Select the area you want to edit, right-click on it and select "Insert content...". In the following dialog, simply select Divide and press OK. And that's it.

The screen shot insinuates that the cells really store Cent values ... if this is the case then make a temporary column where you use a formula =[Cell]/100 to convert to EUR with Cents in decimal place... then copy/paste values back the results and format accordingly.
