Zeros after the decimal
 

I need help with a formula. I need to format a column of cells so that if
the number in a cell has a value after the decimal place (e.g.: 6.5), it
displays the value (e.g: 6.5 -- no rounding up or down), BUT if there are
only zeroes after the decimal place (e.g.: 6.0), the decimal and zeros are
removed so that only the integer (e.g: 6) is showing.

The numbers in the column will vary - some will have a value after the
decimal, some will not. They are also added up and used in other formulas.

Any help is appreciated. I've tried to search the formulas but can't see
anything that would work.

You can't do it through formatting.

If you change your requirements (allow the decimal point on whole numbers), you
could use a custom format of:

#.#
or
#.##
or
#.###
(or as many digits after the decimal place as you like)

What about this Custom Format?

Or just plain old General????

I was answering a question that wasn't asked! I assumed that the OP wanted a
fixed number of decimal places.

General by itself... yeah, that will work too.<g I don't know what I was
thinking either. For some reason, I thought I was going to need a multi-part
pattern, which I had constructed, then I started to simplify it and never
gave a moment's thought to General by itself. Isn't it amazing the blind
spots we sometimes encounter?

I have no idea about what you write <vvbg.

Thank you very much. I guess I was trying to complicate it -- I never even
thought of General. I kept trying to find a formula.
