Format cell to always begin with an "X"
Is it possible to format a cell to always add an "X" at the beginning of the
data input in the cell? I imagine it can be done under CellFormatNumberCustom but am wondering exactly what I would have to put as the format. Thanks in advance for your assistance! |

You just preface each section of the format string with an "X" (with or without the quotes). One way would be: xGeneral;x@ --ron |
