    For the "Format Cells" option to work as intended *in all cases*, replace '.' with '"."'. Which means, make it like this: 0"."
    Otherwise in some cases you get an empty cell and you'll have no idea why (like me). This is probably due to how period is treated due to localization and language settings.

      Thank you. I was trying to input P.000.000000-0 but the format cells would just change it to P.0.000.000.00-0.
      Following this comment I've tried P.000"."000000-0 but it didn't work for some reason. I only needed to change to P.00"."000000-0 to make it work, though.

    You can do that with the cell format (Format/Cells - Number tab / Custom).
    Write this in the 'Type' field:

    0\.0\.0




    This format works fine with numbers of exactly 3 digits. a zero will be shown in place of missing digits. If your number has more than 3 digits the extra digits will be shown before the first period. Replacing 0 with # will avoid showing zeros in place of missing digits, but there is no way to prevent as many periods from being written as the format holds, regardless of how many digits your number has.
    I hope this can meet your requirement.

        Hi Sunny,


        How about if I need to add a period three characters from the left? Some examples would be K900>K90.0, K8071>K80.71, K50813>K50.813.


        Thanks!
        Nicole

          If you have Kutools for Excel, you can use the Add Text function to quickly solve it, just need to type . into Text box, and enter 3 into Specify as below screenshot shown.

          If you do not have Kutools for Excel， you can try this formula =LEFT(A1,3) & "." & MID(A1,4,100), 3 indicates the place you want to add period, 4 indicates 3+1
