Setting the number of decimal places for a text box.
Hi All, I have a user form and on that form is a text box. Data from a cell on the worksheet is read into that text box and the user can observe it. A simple calculation is done on the cell before it is read into the text box. This produces a number with a large number of decimal places. Even though I set the number of decimal places of that cell to 2 (via right clicking on the cell and selecting "Format Cells...") the number read into the text box still displays all the decimal places. Could anyone tell me how I can set the number of decimal places of the text box itself?

Try adding this to your formula: =ROUND((your formula),2) It will round your result to 2 decimal places. "Aaron1978" wrote: Hi All, I have a user form and on that form is a text box.

Thanks for your reply, but the calculation is done in VBA not in the cell that the data is read from. Is there a way of rounding numbers in VBA, I tried but can't seem to find a way.

Excel 2000 and later has a VBA Round function. It does ASTM rounding (rounds
to nearest rounded value, with ties [exactly 5] rounding up or down to make an even number). In earlier versions (or to always round 5 up) you can call the worksheet Round function from VBA by either Application.Round() or WorksheetFunction.Round() The former former will work in all versions of Excel that support VBA. I believe that the latter was introduced in Excel 97, but has the advantage of prompting you with possible worksheet functions that can be called in this way.
