Spreadsheet with one column having reference numbers as either whole
number or as two numbers divided by slash. How can you get both
options to right align?

Thanks but that only corrects those cells not conforming. I am looking
for a solution where that becomes unnecessary?.

The same problem also arise with alphanumeric reference numbers.

Hi Gerry...........

As long as you pre-format the empty cells as I've suggested, the entry of
new values will also be right-aligned. Please describe what you've tried and
how it is acting differently than what I've described........
