    Autoformat decimal places depending on value?

    Can you use autoformat to change the number of decimal places of a cell depending on the value of another cell?

    For example:

    Cell A1 is a number which needs to be to 3, 4 or 5 decimal places depending on the value of cell B1 as follows:

    B1 value Number of decimal places that A1 needs to be
    "T1" 3
    "T5" 4
    "T6" 5

    I would have done this as a macro on start of sheet, but the value of B1 can change at any time.

    Thanks for any help.

    Difficult to say without a clear example.

    To set the decimal places of an integer, you can divide it by 10^nr_of_places

    Well I've got round it - I've had to make some other adjustments to the spreadsheet but it still works - I just recorded a macro and then added an IF statement to incorporate it into VBA.
