Default Format a cell with a custom number format

Both of you are steely-eyed Excel Heroes.
To answer the question about from Mr. Shorty --"You didn't say what to do
with values between 10 and 100, so I left those to be formatted as "xx MHz"
but you could add another condition to do something different with those
values." --
Most of the systems I catalog, the hardware is 450MHz to 1200Mhz multi-CPU
systems. Commonplace numbers being 450Mhz. The multi-CPU 1200MHz are
reported as 1.2GHz systems (hand-rounding); hence, the reason for the chasm
of 10 to 100.
I could have actually said 450, but get nipped when a 400MHz system could
appear at a field site. (Murphys Law). By the way gentleman, this will
also work when reporting MByte systems and GByte systems for "hard-storage"
and RAM capacity.
Again, my thanks.

Wow -- I was hoping someone knew an easy way to this. I didn't know that you
could put those sorts of conditions in a format!

Something like this: [<10]0.0" GHz";0" MHz" will display any number <10
as "x.x GHz" and anything 10 will be displayed as "xxx MHz"

You didn't say what to do with values between 10 and 100, so I left
those to be formatted as "xx MHz" but you could add another condition
to do something different with those values.

This works for a limited number of categories (up to three or four, I
think). Play around with it and see if it helps.
