Hello. Here are two ideas you can experiment with. Suppose that Boston is
in A1, and 100000 is in cell B1.
For A1, make a custom format as "@ *."

The @ represents the text in the cell (Boston), and the "*" repeats the next
character (period) the width of the cell.

Or, perhaps leave Boston alone, and customize B1 with "*. $#,###.00"
This would put leading periods in front of the number.

HTH. :)

If you look at financial data you will see that there is often a leader
(dotted underline), between a field name or catagory and the data that it
is
referencing. An example:

Region Revenue
Boston..........$100,000.00

I am trying to determine how to do this in excel. I do not want to
underline the entire cell. I want the leader to start at the end of the
word
an go to the end of the cell.

Any help is appreciated - Thanks!
