    Custom Number Formatting

    There are examples for custom number formatting on the book which I don't understand some of them.

    Here we go;

    1)

    Value : 123456
    Number Format : #,###,
    Display : 123

    I think "Display" should be "1,234,". Shouldn't it?

    Normally, if you only want to show with a separator, use thenumber format: "#,##0"
    Would show up as 123,456

    Kind regards,

    hi
    this format #,###, is correct but it shows numbers in thousands because of #,###,
    you should use this format #,###
    when you add two commas like this #,###,, numbers shown as millions
    Example :
    To display 12000 As 12,000 Use this code #,###
    To display 12000 As 12 (Thousands) Use this code #,###, Or #,
    To display 12200000 As 12.2(Millions) Use this code #,###.0,, Or 0.0,,

    Re: Custom Number Formatting

    I think one of the most useful help files I ever used was the number format code description page (This one is for Excel 2011, there should be a similar page in your 2010 installation, though number format codes don't seem to change much if at all from version to version: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...3-80F18B4EAE68 ). A number format code like "0 0/100" should be close to what you want.

    Re: Custom Number Formatting

    1)

    Value : 154,87
    Number Format :
    Display : 154 and 87/100 dollars

    0 0/100 or 0 "and" 0/100 "dollars" don't work. How should be the custom format?

    2)

    Value :0,345
    Number Format :h "Hours"
    Display : 8 Hours

    Why did it become "8"? Where does it come from?

    1) It still won't work.

    2) No. I mean why "8"?
