Default trying to get whole numbers for currency


I am not very experienced at using Excel, and only use it for simple spreadsheets. I just updated to the new MS Office 2019 from the Mac 2011 version and have run into a problem that did not happen in my old version. My brother-in-law, who is very experienced in Excel, who just has purchased a new version of MS Office 365, does not have this problem and doesn't know how to solve it.

In entering values in my financial spreadsheet in the new version, I cannot get it to record the numbers, as currency, that I put in exactly as I put them in. I have gone into format in numbers and chose currency and no decimals. But when I enter a number in a cell, it automatically assumes that there is a decimal in the number, and then rounds it to the nearest number. For instance, if I type 78 into a cell (for $78), the bar above will record .78 and the cell will show $1 (rounding up from .78). I want to be able to enter a number (for currency) and have the cell show exactly what I entered - $78 if I typed in 78. I don't want to have to type $78.00 for all whole dollars. (I would also like it to show $78.50 if that is what I typed, but that is not the major problem, as I generally do not enter cents in my spreadsheet.). I'm sure that this is a setting somewhere, but I have searched and not found it.

thank you for any suggestions or solutions
Nancy
