I need to create some custom number formats, but after a few failed tests I
have a lot of junk that I'd like to remove. I've checked the Microsoft
knowledge base which suggest there should be a delete button, but I don't
have one.
When you right click on your mouse, and you select:
Format Cells...NumberCustom
You can see many formatting styles.
Some of them impossible to delete eg: "General" or "@"
But some others easy to delete one by one pressing the Delete button.
In my Workbook eg "#.##0,00 ;[Red]-#.##0,00 ;; @"
Is there any way of deletting all of then by vba.
I mean all the different custom formats that I am carrying from book to book, from job to job long time ago.
I would like to have just the ones excel gives us by default, not the rest.
I need to create a custom number format for a recorded delivery number in an excel sheet. I want it to look like AA 1234 1234 1GB in the cell even if the user enters it without spaces e.g. AA123412341GB. I have had a bit of a play around with underscores to get spaces but nothing seems to make it change.

In custom number formats I have selected #;"negative" #,###;; which does indeed display the cell with -1000 as Negative 1,000, however, I want to be able to link to this cell and have the link pull in Negative $1,000.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to create a work schedule and I am having trouble formatting it just the way that I want it. Basically, I am looking to put in the time with an AM or PM after it.
The problem that I am having is that if the time is on the hour I want it to display as 4 PM and if it is not on the hour, then I want it to display as 4:30 PM. I don't want 4:00 PM with the 2 extra zeros. Is there any way to do this with conditional formatting or some type of formula? I just don't want to have to change the number format every time I have to enter a time that is not on the hour.
I would like to display the following number of hours as day hour minute format
48.0 hrs as 2d 00h 00m.
i've inherited a spreadsheet that is causing me a problem with a custom format. I have two cells each with different custom formats. The first (cell A) is formatted as thus 0.0;0;. The second ( cell B) formatted as 0.000;0;
The number in each cell will vary. Cell A is always positive and cell B could be positive or negative. The problem occurs in Cell B when this should be a negative number as it picks this value up from another cell ,say cell C. so Cell C= -0.614 but cell B shows this as being 1. I'm sure the author of the sheet did this for a reason. Why does the cell display the number 1
I have four different cell.
Cell a1 contains 6 digits
Cell a2 contains 1 digit
Cell a3 contains 6 digits
Cell a4 contains 4 digits.
Cells a3 and a4 may contain a number less than number of digits specified above but are custom formatted 000000 and 0000 respectively to ensure they have the correct number of digits. My problem is when I try to combine the four cells they lose their formatting. I have tried =A1&A2&A3&A4 and = concatenate(A1,A2,A3,A4). But both formulas loose the formatting from the individual cells.
I have used the formatting option to make numbers that once appeared as 1, 2, 3, 13, etc into four digit numbers, to appear as 3001, 3002, etc.
The problem is, I have other data whose original values are the 3000 formats, and Excel won't combine the two or sort them correctly.
Is there a way I can format it to change the actual value?
Code be to change the number format of the range H21:H37 on my attached spreadsheet from the currency format with the $ symbol and 2 decimal places whenever cell H20 displays "UNIT PRICE" to a number utilizing the comma seperator and with no decimal places and no $ symbol whenever the cell H20 displays "SHIPPED"?
I have a simple piece of code that gets a date from the user via inputbox in the format dd/mm/yyyy. That date is then put into a cell (e.g. B1), and the cells to its right get given something like "=B1+2", "=C1+5" etc so that they will all show a date a few days further down the track. (Much more complicated than that but this is the basic idea)
The entire row is then formatted "ddd dd mmm yyyy" with the intention of every column getting a header like "Wed 27 Jan 2010". This works perfectly for every column EXCEPT B which shows the the string "27/01/2010" it was given from the inputbox.
Right clicking --> Format Cells shows every cell in the row has the exact same 'Custom' format, and the 'Sample' at the top looks correct for every cell except B1.
BEFORE the macro runs and formats all the cells, but AFTER they have been given their formulas, they all display something along the lines of '40021', '40023' which I assume is the number of days since Jan 01 1900 or the like - proving that THEY knew the value in B1 was a date, so why doesnt B1 itself know?
Is there a way to fix the the allowed numberformats in a workbook?
For example, is it possible to have only the following numberformats in a file : 0.0, 0.0% and $0.0. The file should not allow any other formats, and the user should not be able to create custom formats.

Conditional Formating Text equaling to Number formats:
Example:
C20 is '436.59 (its pasted as text often is must remain as text) and D20 is 436.9535
I want D20 to have only 2 decimals and turn green if it equals C20. And turn red if it doesnt equal C20.
I am attempting to copy some numbers from one spreadsheet to another including the formats. The format I am using is a user-defined one which doesn't normally appear in the list of personalised formats.
My code seems to work fine within the same spreadsheet but fails when I do it using 2 spreadsheets.
In the toolbar there's a section titled "Number" which allows you to change cell formats with selections named General, Number, Accounting, Date, Time, etc. I want to permanently change some of their default formats.
For instance, currently when I select Number the default is -4000.00. I want to PERMANENTLY change its default to (4,000.00). How do I do this?

I have created several spreadsheet with customized menus. In step 5 when I type

I need a custom number format to do the following: When a whole number, shows only whole number (no decimal place) When decimal, show decimal. For example, have this data show as typed:
45 (not 45.0)
32
6.7
43.5
87
I can't figure out a format to allow this. The closest I get is:
??.?
but that gives me:
45.
32.
6.7
43.5
87.
I am trying to create a number format for formatting resistor value in their most commonly displayed form. For example 1,200 ohms would be displayed as 1.2kÙ and 5,000,000 ohms would be displayed as 5MÙ, and finally 5 ohms would be displayed as 5Ù. I have been able to create a format that formats any 2 contiguous formats but not all three.
for example: [>999999]###.0,,ÌÙ;[<1000000]###.0,kÙ;
or: [>999]###.0,kÙ;[<1000]###Ù
both work.(other similar criteria work as well) But if I try to put 3 conditions describing the desired formatting I get and error (containing no useful info) as I try to close the formatting dialog. Is there a limit to the number of conditions that can be used. Or something else I'm overlooking.
is it possible to custom format a cell in order to:
a) Present 3.33333 as 3.33 (max. of 2 decimal digits or less)
b) Present 3.333 as 3.33

d) Present 3.3 as 3.3
e) Present 3 as 3 (NO zeros and NO decimal dot)

I know this works because I have seen it in a workbook at a client's office.
I need a custon number format to substiture an "em" dash for zero. An em dash is a hyphen with the width a the letter m. There is also the so called en dash tht is the width the the letter n. A search of the internet shows that to create an em dash in a cell that contains a 0 ("zero"), hold down the alt key and type 0151 on the numeric keypad. Typing 0150 insert a en dash.
I want to be able to set this up as a custom number format in the custom number dialog.
Instead of using conditional format, I would like to use a custom format to hide the number 1. Is this possible?
Basically only three things can be in this cell =IF(D8"",IF(D8="CIV",1.077,1),"")
I need to mask the 1, otherwise show the 1.077. The reason I am not using conditional formatting is because there is a condition on the cell already which applies a pattern style and a font will not match up to the pattern.
I am trying to create a custom number format.
Here is what I have come up with: 0.00%;[Red]-0.00%
The problem is, it has no "," it would display as 23555555.6% or -2355555.6%
I need it to display as: 23,555,555.6% or -23,555,555.6%
How would this be written?
Additionally, I have occasion to "abbreviate" in the following format:
23.55MM% or 1.5M% or -23.55MM% or -1.5M%
For currency, I have it written in this manner:
Currency: [>=1000000] $#,##0.0,," MM";[>0] $#,##0.0," M";[Red]($#,###," M")
I just freeze when trying to convert to percentage.
