diagonal split in a cell
I need one row of data on my worksheet to have cells that are split with a
diagonal line, so I can have two values in them. Is there a way to have a line going from the bottom left to the top right like a slash sign, where I can have two different values, one on each side? thanks. |

diagonal split in a cell
Please don't do this.
If you're ever going to use those values in any other calculation, all those subsequent calculations become lots more complex. Use two cells on the same row. ======== But if you want... You can add a diagonal border to the cell Select the range Format|Cells|border tab (in xl2003 menus) But then you'll have to play around to make the entry look pretty. The first number, then alt-enter (to force a newline within the cell), then maybe a few spaces, then the second number. ======== But don't do this. It may look pretty, but it's gonna hurt you later when you want to actually do something with that data.

You can place a diagonal line using FormatCellsBorders
The placement of the data on the right side will have to be padded out with spaces in most cases. But there is no way to actually split a cell.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should <vbg.
