Change the way numbers are displayed in Excel 2003 SP2
I inherited an excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of data. All the
numbers in this spreadsheet are formatted in the millions. (ex: 6,000,000) I would like to change the formatting of the numbers to just display the 6 as opposed to showing commas and decimal places. I have tried the decrease decimal, but that did not work. I tried the round formula, the Rounddown formula, and the Mround formula, but I cant get them to just display the first digit. Is there a way to tell Excel to drop all commas, and decimal places in large numbers? Thanks, :) |

So instead of showing 6,000,000 you just want to show 6. You can use a custom
format something like this... 0,, -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "Marilyn" wrote: I inherited an excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of data.
