Hi

Format affects only the cell, it is applied to. Really it affects how data
in formatted cell are displayed, not the data itself. I.e. when you format
the cell with number 2 as currency, it is displayed as $2.00, but really
the
cell contains the number 2. Format ther same cell as date - and 2nd
January
of 1900 is displayed, etc. When you reference the cell, then the source
format is not inherited.

Thanks again for the reply Arvi, but the above isn't working. I've done a
copy & paste on the formula above, formatted the cell for text, then tried
currency and neither one works. Is it possible that there is an extra space
character I need to take out?

Thanks, Bob
