Give these a try...

Sub DPshiftdown()
With Range("Q16")
If .NumberFormat = "0 \g" Or .NumberFormat = "General" Then Exit Sub
.NumberFormat = Replace(.NumberFormat, " \g", "")
.NumberFormat = Trim(Left(.NumberFormat, Len(.NumberFormat) - 1))
If Right(.NumberFormat, 1) = "." Then .NumberFormat = Val(.NumberFormat)
.NumberFormat = .NumberFormat & " \g"
End With
End Sub

Sub DPshiftup()
With Range("Q16")
.NumberFormat = Replace(.NumberFormat, " \g", "")
If .NumberFormat = "0" Or .NumberFormat = "General" Then
.NumberFormat = "0.0 \g"
Else
.NumberFormat = .NumberFormat & "0 \g"
.NumberFormat = Replace(.NumberFormat, "0000", "000 0")
End If
End With
End Sub

Actually, any chance of adding the letter "g" after the zeroes so it
goes 0.000 0 g? That would solve the other question I posted. If not
how could I achieve this?

TIA
