I want to align some entries in consecutive rows like Word tabs
I would like to align some entries in consecutive rows but can't see to do it
in Excel. I would like to be able to use an equivalent of the MS Word tabs such that all entries are perfectly aligned in rows. Please help. Thanks. |

Depending on your data, one workaround is to use a custom format of
" "@ to force a set amount of spaces before your text, or you can use helper columns with a formula similar to: =REPT(" ",8)&A2 or =A2&REPT(" ",8) to force set indentation amounts. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Jay" wrote: I would like to align some entries in consecutive rows but can't see to do it in Excel.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the prompt response. Just trying to figure out how exactly I would apply your suggestion. Do I put it under "custom" under format cell? Sorry, not really an Excel user here. I also have Excel 2000 if that makes a difference. Thanks.

If you're using the custom number format suggestion:
Select the range Format|Cells|number tab|Custom category and type the custom format into that Type box. Jay wrote: Hi Luke, Thanks for the prompt response.
