Decimal Format With No Trailing Zeros
Jan 13, 2009
I need to never have a trailing zero be displayed but still have decimals displayed (we can use up to 3 digits for the example) Here's a list of test cases
Value______Display
1.234567___1.235
1.234______1.234
1.23_______1.23
1.230______1.23
1.2________1.2
1.200______1.2
1.0________1
1.000______1
1.020______1.02
1.0002_____1
0__________0
0.001______0.001
0.0001_____0
The only time I want to see a 0 is when the answer is 0 (or rounded to 0) or when 0 is required in the middle. This is for patient safety if you are curious. 2.0 when printed out or written by hand can be mistakenly read as "20" in the heat of things, thus 2.0 should be written/printed as "2" (no decimal on the end) not as "2." even, just "2"

I have 4 columns (and a couple of other text columns) that are formatted as decimal with 6 dicimal points.
I need to create a text file with lines that are 80 bytes each from the spreadsheet - no spaces inbetween each of the characters.
The issue I am having is trying to format the 4 decimal point columns to be fixed numbers and retain the leading or trailing zeros to do a concatenation with the other columns.
Just an example of some what some of the values look like on my spreadsheet:
.123456 | .123450 | .012345 | .012340
Essentially when I'm all said and done, I would like the row to look like "text123456123450012345012340text"
I tried to format 4 new columns as general and use a "=right(cell,6)" and that worked pretty well for the cells that have leading zeros, but for the cells that have trailing zeros, it doesn't seem to pick up the zero. I tried to use a "=mid(cell,2,6)" but that didn't work either.

Now I have a decimal column and I would like to remove all of the trailing zeros. It is using the number format. How do I accomplish this?

I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet to calculate various things at my work, however I'm running into a problem that I can't solve. In one cell, I have a formula that returns an value to two significant figures. The number of decimal points that this value has is then used at various points throughout the sheet to truncate/round/etc. However, if the first value has a trailing zero as the second significant figure (ex. 0.20), that trailing zero is dropped. This creates problems since downstream calculations are then truncating to an incorrect number of decimal points. How to retain this trailing zero IF the formula results in one?

I cant seem to figure out how to concatenate data from two cells into one cell and retain trailing zeros. If Cell A1 has ".0000" and cell A2 has ".0005" then I want cell A3 to show:
".0000-.0005".
I get "0-.0005" on my attempts. Alos, how do I make the value an actual number and not a formula?

I have seen a few posts that are close to this but not quite right. I have a situation where I need to do "=LEN..." formula that counts trailing zeros at the end of numbers (meaning zeros that are displayed at the end of a number but do not appear in the actual cell value).
example:
Cell E19 contains the actual value 4773.52, but it is displayed in currency format with FOUR digits so it displays as $4,773.5200.
The formula I am using is =LEN(MID(E19,FIND(".",E19)+1,4)). The result is 2, which means it does not include the last two trailing zeros in the LEN count.
Is there anyway to get it to include the trailing zeros so the result equals 4? Either w/formula, macro, or UDF?
Is weird I know, but I need to know how many decimal places (displayed, not actual) for many numbers on many sheets that I do not create myself.

I asked this along time ago and received a worksheet formula which suited my needs then. http://www.excelforum.com/excel-work...trailing+zeros
Now I need this in a macro. Below is my current concatenating code.

I have a list of numbers:
21.20151242
28.012224
etc....
I want to round/truncate them as if it were currency and add "/month" to them
so the resulting column would be:
21.20/month
28.01/month
everytime I truncate to two digits and add the text it cuts off the final zero:
21.2/month
how do I do this?

I am trying to create a unique sample code by putting together the values of other cells that a user will input. It's all working well apart from the last part, where I am trying to include a decimal number. I want the decimal number to appear without the central "." and in a four digit format. e.g. 2.5 would appear as 0250, 14.25 would appear as 1425. This is the formlua I am using currently:
=IF(ISBLANK(B4),"",IF(LEFT(C4,1)="w",(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&TEXT(G4,"HHMM")),(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&LEFT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2)&RIGHT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2))))
However, where the value of H4 is 2.5, I am getting a result of 0303 (I've put this part in bold). I have attached a small spreadsheet to aid understanding.

Here's my problem. I need a formula to take the decimals out of a column but keep ending zeros. I have tried find/replace & several formulas but nothing seems to be working. Here is an example of the numbers in the column and the end result I need.
9.66 966
0.50 050
13.09 1309
309.98 30998

I have a column of numbers with one decimal point and some blank entries too. I need to convert all the numbers (including the zeros, but not the blanks) to two decimal points. Any idea on how this can be done?
Examples: 0.1 needs to become 0.10, 0 needs to stay 0, a Blank cell needs to remain Blank.

I have a column of cells with values - 0.2%, 0.32%, 0.22, 0.5 etc. The cells with % symbol are in ' Percentage, 2 decimal' format while the plain numbers are in 'General' format i.e. column contains cells in either of these formats. I need a macro where I can specify the column and it will select the cells with the % format, convert it to 'General' and multiply the result by 100 eg. 0.2% converted to 'General' becomes 0.002. When multiplied by 100, result is 0.2 i.e. is displayed without the % symbol.

I have an excel spreadsheet with numbers and the format has to show zeroes at the beginning (e.g. 0011111) It is always going to be a seven digit number. I can format the cells to show the numbers with the leading zeros, but as soon as I save the file as a csv, the leading zeros are lost.
Does anyone know how to the zeros can be retained when the file is saved in csv format?

I'm using Excel 2007 and am using a look up formula =isna(match( cell, cell range, 0)) to see whether a number in one column occurs in another column.
I have been doing this process successfully for over a year on Excel 2003 and more recently on Excel 2007. This is until today, when it's stopped doing what I expect - could I have changed a setting?
The correct number format for this sheet should be 0000 (so now '67' will appear as '0067' or '290' will appear as '0290' etc.) So I have applied this Custom Format to my columns: '0000'
After applying the Custom Format to the spreadsheet the numbers appear correctly - 560 now appears as 0560 - BUT in the formula bar they still only appear as the original format - so 560 is STILL 560 rather than 0560 as it should be!
As a result of this, my look up is not looking for the number in the new format, it's still looking for the number in its original format - so a look up for 0560 is actually returning results for anything with 560 in it: 560, 5600, 5601, 56000, 56007 etc.
I need my look up to be looking for 0560 NOT 560.
How do I force the numbers to become 4 digits in the formula bar so that my look up for 0560 only finds a match with a cell containing 0560 and not 560, 5600, 5601, 56000, 56007 etc.

Cell C9: 1.25773
Cell C10: 20.0
Cell C11: 2.25%
Cell C15: =C9+((C10*C11)/10000)
C9 is a user entered value, currently formated general
C10 is a user entered value, currently formated decimal with one decimal
C11 is a user entered percentage, currently formated percent with two decimals
C15 is a formula calculation, currently formated general
I've tried formating cells to general (and/or) text and the values appear to be correct but still don't show what I want.
The most popular entries for C9 will be:
123.12
123.123
1.1234
1.12345
Any of the above could have one or more trailing zeros.
I would like C15 to show the same amount of decimal places that the user enters in C9. If user enters one, two, three, four, five, etc...decimal places in C9 then show the same amount of decimal places in C15 after the calculation is done and include any trailing 0's that are needed to match the number of decimals in C9.
I've tried different If statements with custom format to try to get the format of C9 transfered to C15 but haven't come across the right way to do this.

Is there a way to format a number into 2 decimal places and when you select the cell you wont see the true value?
For example:
316.2696
I still see the 316.2696 when I click the cell. Instead of 316.27 only.

If I enter 2.5 into a cell, and then change the format so that there are no digits after the decimal, the number changes to a 3.
2.4 correctly rounds to 2, but shouldn't 2.5 round to 2???
I thought that even numbers were supposed to round down, and odd numbers round up when there is a 5 right after the decimal.

I trying to create a schedule on my 2002 excel. I placed all the times in HH:MM AM/PM format. But somehow...I don't know what I was doing...all the times instantly appear as decimals on the cells. The times I inputted still appears in the cell's formula bar. I tried changing the cell's format to my prefferred time format, but the cells wouldn't budge.

I have a problem with the currency format with 4 decimal places.
Sub go()
Range("C5") = Range("C5") + Range("C4")
End Sub
as you can see it adds the conecnt of "R4" to what is in "R5"
If works fine when the calls are formatted as number with 4 decimal places.
example if R4 is 0.1111 and R5 is 0.2222 after running the macro R5 becomes 0.3333
But if the cells are formatted as currency and 4 decimal places the then excel returns $0.3300

Is there a way to format a cell based upon a condition? If the cell value is <1, I want to show two decimal places. If the cell is >1, I want to show zero decimal places. I tried to use the conditional formatting, but there is no option for this.

I'm writing a macro that will automatically change the display in a column of cells.
The input in the cell would be a decimal value, (e.g. 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2). As of now, I think the only input options are whole numbers and 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 fractions.
After inputting the decimal value, the cell should update to display the value as the following string format :
Input: 1.25
Displays: 1-1/4"
The purpose being to enable fast data entry while displaying in the desired format.
Here is where I know to begin for the automatic update:
Code:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
'
'
'Code
'
'
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I have the following code
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
TextBox1.Text = Range("P" & UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListIndex + 3).Value
TextBox2.Text = Range("N" & UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListIndex + 3).Value[code].....
In TextBox3, the user will input a percentage as a whole number, IE: 5 for 5%, but when the update is made, it is writing the "5" as 500% and is writing 50 as 5000%.
If there is already a percent in the cell it calls up IE: 50%, it shows up in TextBox3 as .5%

I need to be able to convert big hex numbers into decimal numbers. The problem that I have with this is that when you put a hex number that includes letters excel considers it text. And if the number is too big, you can't convert it to decimal format, and when you try to, it comes up with the #NUM! error.
Number: "78652385098375A879FF747C9847A00" without quotes

Is there any way to change the decimal point from the usual period symbol (.) to a comma (,). The reason being, i have a structural design spreadsheet and the new terminology is just so, changed from 00.00 to 00,00 I have tried cell formatting but it just uses a comma (,) for numbers in their thousand and it wont do what i need.

I am having problems applying custom format to numbers that need to be formatted.
custom format use is 0",00". When I apply the custom format above to whole numbers, I achieve the results I want:
0.00
20.00
40.00
becomes
0,00
20,00
40,00
However, when I apply to numbers with decimal places
0.20.......
how I can change the custom format so that the period is replaced with a comma but the decimal values are preserved?
