Sorry about that, I got the commas and dots switched around. The number
format you are looking to use is european style (well pretty much anywhere other than the U.S. and canada use it). In order to have a number (0.00) be formatted like this 0,00 and be used as a number in excel you've got to change your global settings. Add this into your code: 'You may want to put this in the workbook_open event of the workbook 'That way you don't have to think about it. With Application .DecimalSeparator = "," .ThousandsSeparator = "." .UseSystemSeparators = False End With 'Now you can use the following. 'Don't worry about the dot because the globals are changed Range("A1:A10").Select Selection.NumberFormat = "0.00" 'You will also want to reset your globals. 'Possibly on a workbook_beforeclose event "maxest" wrote: No, it didnt help. I'll try to explain that situation better. I'm using commas as decimal separator, but data that I work with, comes from another application (web-based) that uses dots as separator. When I paste data tables to a Excel chart all numbers are handeled as text. My objective is to convert them to the numbers. After using Replace function in macro it replaces dots with commas, but numres are still text and can't be ussed in financial functions. It helps when I manually edit cell (F2) and hit Enter after that, but i cant edit all 500 cells manually. When I use Replace function from Edit menu manually, it work perfectly and I dont have problem with number that are in text format. I have tried also to change format of cell in every way but it doesnt work. Work only F and Enter. -- maxest ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maxest's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30143 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498282 |
