Custom formatting of numbers with asterisks

Hello


I'd like to apply custom formatting like 0,?????;-0,????? to some hundreds of cells, but there are a few of the numbers inside having asterisk mark [like 143,25*], which is important to stay there. Is there any way of doing this?

I was thinking about adding it manualy as a text [0,????"*" or something], but it creates such a wide space between a number and the sign I can't accept [like 2,45 * and the comma is no longer aligned with other ones in this collumn].

I need those asterisks to be visible, but I could live with no way of doing maths on them [like using some conversion to text thing, but for now I have no idea how to do it properly]. If anyone has anything to say on this, please do so.
