Stop XL from changing format?
I format a cell as Scientific with some number of decimal places. I enter
an NPV formula. The cell format is changed to Currency. I change the format to Scientific again. I press F2, the Enter. The cell format reverts to Currency. Is there an option or Registry setting that will stop Excel from changing a cell format, especially a non-General format? I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (US). |

Hi Joe,
One way: wrap your formula in a VALUE function =VALUE(YourFormula) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Joe User" <joeu2004 wrote in message ...
