How do I get a - when a 0 is typed in a cell?
Two cells appear to be formatted the same. (Acctg/None/2) When a 0 is typed
in one a - appears...in the other a 0 appears. I've tried format painter with no result. |

Format Cells-Custom and at the bottom there's a number of very long gibberish-looking formats - one of those contains the "-" format for zero. HTH |

Hi,
Or you could also use the accounting format from within Format Cells - Number. Accounting format displays "-" for zero. Regards, A "Gordon" wrote: "patMO" wrote in message ...

Thx guys...however, neither of those worked :( . The format is the same in
both cells. Accounting/No symbol/0 decimals. I get a - in one cell and a 0 in the other when typing a 0. I have tried format painter to copy the format. I want a - when I type a 0.

Pat,
Check the format codes (Format - Cells - Number - Custom). We'll go from there. Are these on different sheets? If so, check Tools - Options - View - Zero values (it's sheet-level). Not sure that any of these are your problem, but worth looking at. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com "patMO" wrote in message ... Two cells appear to be formatted the same.

THANKS!!! It must have been sheet-level. We just upgraded. This was an old
sheet, both cells were on the same sheet. Thanks for your help!! "Earl Kiosterud" wrote: Pat, Check the format codes (Format - Cells - Number - Custom). We'll go from there.
