    Lightbulb Making my own Category under Format Cells...

    I would like to create a category that would allow me to do the following:

    I'm working with number in Mod12. If I type numbers (or if numbers are put there by formulas) 1 through 9, I want them displayed as such. If type the number 10, I would like it to be displayed as "t" as well as number 11 to be displayed as "e". This is similar to when you type 5 into a cell that is styled as currency, "$5.00" is displayed. I don't want the value of the cell to change so "t" and "e" still function as 10 and 11, respectfully.

    Any help would be appreciated!
