formatting Cells for # sign
I am working in a spreadsheet that contains Purchase Order Numbers and would
like to enter the PO # as just the number (ie: 142) and have the # sign appear before the number (like with happens when you format for $. Is there a way to do this. I have tried to create my own style but can't get it to work. |

You could use a custom format of:
\#General Select the range format|cells|Number tab|custom category. Or \#0000000000 if you have to have 10 digits with leading 0's (say) gevew wrote: I am working in a spreadsheet that contains Purchase Order Numbers and would like to enter the PO # as just the number (ie: 142) and have the # sign appear before the number (like with happens when you format for $.
