Fixed exponent while using scientific notation.

So I've poured over many forums looking for an answer to this problem but I haven't found the right one. I want to have a fixed E+n value in scientific notation so that I can compare values simpler. I am hoping to make the numbers be displayed as XE+8 regardless of what the X value is. So that would mean 4E10 will be displayed as 400E8 and 4E4 will be displayed as .0004E8.

I have tried the 0.0#####, "E+3" format. However that is just putting it into engineering format which ends up being multiples of E+3. It will not help me if I wanted to display a value to the 8th power.


Any tips?

That is actually a pretty good way of resolving it. Thanks!. One more question. One of the values I need displayed would be to the 10th power. However "0.00\E+10" somehow just returns the text "E+1" and some integer.

I was trying to display 3.32e10 using your format modified to the 10th: =TEXT(A1/1e10, "0.00\E+10") and it would return as 3.31E15. I'm assuming contextually 0 and # represent a function within excel. I'm just not sure how to make it actually display 0 rather than calling a function.

Thanks a bunch shg! This is going to make life a lot easier.
