Not by using number format. (Number format works with numbers--not text.)
But maybe you could use a helper cell to translate it:
=IF(A1="","",
Upper(LEFT(A1,6))&RIGHT(REPT("0",8)&MID(A1,SEARCH( "-",A1)+1,255),8))
(all one cell)

Hi,
Done a bit of Googling but no luck so far...
What I need to do is create a Custom cell format for the following:
xxx##-########
Where the x's are any letter and the #'s are numbers. For example, if the user inputs:
SHA11-1234
The Cell will automatically be formatted as:
SHA11-00001234
Can this be done?
Cheers,
Nick
