format number to 3 decmals
I need a cell to format to 3 decimal points max, but I dont want the .000 if
the number is whole. For example, I need a cell with 33.8140226 to read as 33.814, but if the cell is 33, I want it to be 33, not 33.000 If I use general format, I can get the 33.814, but then I get 33.000 when I use a whole number. Any help would be appreciated. |

There is a minor problem with that custom format though... whole numbers
will have a decimal point after them. Rick "Chad" wrote in message ...
