I know this post might be a bit outdated, but still:
has anyone been able to solve this problem?!
If so, I´d be happy, if you could help me here!
The solution of Ron Rosenfeld unfortuenately does not work for me.




I am trying to align my columns by decimal point. I have both negative and
positive numbers, as well as asterisks (to show statistical significance) and
so using Format|Cells|Number and trying the number, currency, and accounting
options don't seem to work, nor does the custom option when I try ##.???? or
-#.????.

For example, I have the following numbers I want to line up:
-0.2684***
-0.2602***
0.7165**
1.0023

Any suggestions? [/i][/color]
