Does this macro do what you want?

I have this macro code:

Range("u22:u26").NumberFormat = _
Range("ad22").NumberFormat '(numberformatin ad22 is "0.00")

Dim KeyCell As Range, AnswerCell As Range
Dim DP As Long
Dim kcFmt As String
Dim acFmt As String

Set KeyCell = [q16]
Set AnswerCell = [u22:u26] 'set + - sign to cells

'Get DP from Key Cell
kcFmt = KeyCell.NumberFormat

DP = Len(kcFmt) - InStr(1, kcFmt, ".") + 0 'add anumberhere to apply
more DP

'Add one decimal place to the KeyCellnumberformat
acFmt = "0." & Application.WorksheetFunction.Rept("0", DP)

'special case of kcFmt is "0"
If kcFmt = "0" Then acFmt = "0.0"

acFmt = "+" & acFmt & ";-" & acFmt & ";0"

'Assign newformatto answer cell
AnswerCell.NumberFormat = acFmt

If I rem out the first 2 lines with a ' it works and places a + or -
where it should, but if I perform the first 2 lines just before that
first, it doesent apply the + or -.

How can I make the two work together so it does +0.00 or -0.00?

TIA,

Aaron.

Erm well I have a range of cells that I need to have a positive sign
on when thenumberin them is positive as if its negative it naturally
has a "-" before it. I also need the cells to be formatted according
to another keycell whose decimal placing changes with another macro
from a button link.

So one cell is sitting there with 0.01 in it and it should say +0.01
(because in this example it is a positivenumber.

Thankyou.

Yes it works great and I have incorporated it in my workbook to great
effect. Thank- you again.

Aaron.
