Can not change the numberformat
I try to change the cell number format in my "add in" module using following
statement: ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "0.00%" But it does not change the the format, the cell number format was still "General". here is my whole code: Option Explicit Function numberformat_test() ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "0.00%" numberformat_pc_test = 0.234 End Function 1. This code is save in test.xla as a add in file; 2. In Excel, from Tools-Add-Ins, load test.xla; 3. From Excel: Insert-Functions-User Defined category select numberformat_test function; 4. The cell supposes present 23.4%; but it displays 0.234. Some friends kindly offered some solutions, but they are only callable in Macro and should be only resident in local sheet. What I want is an add-in xla file which can be called by any sheet. Thanks. |

1. It is not possible to change workspace formatting etc. from within function. Only a sub routine. 2. This cannot be all your code because you are using Option Explici which requires declaration of all variables (in this cas numberformat_pc_test). 3. Your basic function structure is incorrect. You have no argument(s and no return value which must be the same name as the function -- Brian ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BrianB's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...tinfo&userid=5 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=27007 |

Thanks BrianB for your kind reply.
Yes, that is not all my code, I just post relative one and try to focus on the problem. How can I use sub routine to change the format in add-in xla file? Cheers. "BrianB" wrote: 1.

You can select your range to change formats and do:
Option Explicit Sub Changenumberformat_test() Selection.NumberFormat = "0.00%" End Sub Then back to excel and Tools|macro|macros... and run "ChangeNumberFormat_test" X.Yu wrote: Thanks BrianB for your kind reply.
