In Excel, you can apply the Format Cell function to remove the trailing zeros after decimal by a custom format, please do as follows:

Note: A trailing period will remain if your number is a whole number with zeros after the decimal.

Number formats in the Format Cells function cannot handle trailing periods, but the following formula can solve this issue.

Enter this formula: =SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"."," "))," ",".") into a blank cell where you want to put the result, then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you need to apply this formula, and all the trailing zeros are removed after the decimal, see screenshot:
