    How to format? - Some cells show 0 while some show Dash

    Dear All,

    I am using accounting format. However some cells show 0 and some show dash (which is also 0).

    How can i make it consistent throughout?

    That doesn't seem all that possible. Are you sure those cells that show up as 0 or actually formatted as 0?

    In my test, I've formatted 10 or so cell with numbers and some 0. The 0 shows as a dash.
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff

    You might have formatted some cells as Currency, which does display zero rather than a dash. Alternatively, the zero might be a text value (the result of a calculation which returns "0").

    Hope this helps.
