Help with application of custom format to entire column
Help !!
When I'm using the format cells - number tab - categorie "custom" function to an entire column; I enter format codes (####-#####-#) then select OK button. The existing data (1234567891)(no dashes) does not appear in each cell within the column; not until I edit each cell (F2 or double-click) and hit enter does the format appear. How do I make the format appear without going to each individual cell? |

I think your data is actually text. And just changing the format of the cell
won't change the value of the cell. One way to change Text Numbers to Number Numbers is... Select an empty cell edit|copy select the offending range edit|paste special|click Add. You may have to reformat that range to your custom format. Sprinkman wrote: Help !!
