numbers with text
I am trying to include a text with my input number. For example: I want to
input in cell A1 only the number "230." But, I want the cell to return "230 units." What steps do I have to do to make that work? Thanks, hmz |

FormatCellsNumberCustom
In the Type box, add "units" (including the quotes) to the end of the current format string (probably General) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "hmz" wrote in message ...

One way is to enter the data in A1, but have a formula in B1 like this:
=A1&" units" Then hide column A, or set its font color to white on a white background so it is effectively hidden. |
