If you're only needing this for export then you could possibly use the export option 'Apply current layout's data formatting to exported data'

However if you want the number stored with exactly 2 decimal places, you could use the following as the auto-enter calculation for the field with 'Do not replace existing value (if any)' unchecked:

If ( Self < 0 ; "-" ) & Div ( Abs ( Self ) ; 1 ) & "." & Right (  "00" & Round ( 100 * Mod ( Abs ( Self ) ; 1 ) ; 0 ) ; 2 )

or, if you prefer;

Let ([
	sign = If ( Self < 0 ; "-" ) ;
	i = Div ( Abs ( Self ) ; 1 ) ;
	d2 = Round ( 100 * Mod ( Abs ( Self ) ; 1 ) ; 0 )
	] ;
	sign & i & "." & Right ( "00" & d2 ; 2 )
	)

cheers
