Tricky number formatting
I don't know if this is even possible, but I'm building a spreadsheet that requires salary data in thousands rounded to nearest hundred (e.g. $53,817 = 53.8) I've got approximately 1400 employees on the report so I don't really want to do each one "by hand." Is there a way to format this? -- JeffreyO ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JeffreyO's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35385 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=551543 |

=(ROUND(A1,3))*0.001
See if this will do the trick, in the formula cell A1 is the 1st cell with your salary data. you will have to format your column how you want the numbers to appear (in your example your result was 53.8 so you would have to format the column to numberic, 1 decimal) "JeffreyO" wrote: I don't know if this is even possible, but I'm building a spreadsheet that requires salary data in thousands rounded to nearest hundred (e.g. $53,817 = 53.8) I've got approximately 1400 employees on the report so I don't really want to do each one "by hand."

Can you insert another column and use a formula like:
=ROUND(A1/1000,1) JeffreyO wrote: I don't know if this is even possible, but I'm building a spreadsheet that requires salary data in thousands rounded to nearest hundred (e.g. $53,817 = 53.8) I've got approximately 1400 employees on the report so I don't really want to do each one "by hand."

Is there a way to format this? If you want to retain the "real number" of 53,817, you could use the custom format: Format/Cells/Number/Custom Type: #.0, --ron |
