According to the below website, the "[$-409]" seems to be part of a custom
international number format. http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...01 0272491033 Note: that is one continuous URL. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "tikchye_oldLearner57" wrote: hello community can anybody in the community please tell me what is this square bracket with dollar symbol follow with a dash inclusive the number "409" at the front the the custom format.........example: [$-409]h:mm:ss AM/PM;@....... when I wanted to make the "AM/PM" to "a/p", I need to delete away the "[$-409]" and replace the "AM/PM" with "a/p", then it works. however if the do not delete the [$-409] away, the "AM/PM" would not be replace by "a/p"...why is it so ? thanks everybody for the kind explanation :) -- oldLearner57 |
