I need to know how to make a format for å number.
The number is in 8 digits - ex. 12345678 I want it to show like this 123 45 678 (with spaces between). How can I set up this format when formatting my cells. I have tried 000 00 000 but it does not work..... Any help? |

Format a number in a scecial way
Just tried using Format/Cells - Special
000 00 000 and it formatted as 123 45 678 Using 9 characters gave me 1234 56 789 Perhaps you didn't have the desired cell highlighted when changing the formatting?
