How to make "("@")" work with =ROW()-1?
How can we get numbers like (1), (2), (3), etc., when using "=ROW()-1"?
When entering alphanumeric characters manually, typing in 1, 2, 3, ..., in cells formatted with "("@")", gives (1), (2), (3), etc. Trying do format the cells in this way that use "=ROW()-1". Thanks. |

@ is the formatting symbol that makes the cell text.
I saw (=row()-1) when I entered the formula in a cell formatted that way. But I could use a simple custom number format of: (General) and it looked ok.

Dave, thank you once again for your help! This is so neat. I didn't figure out how to make anything with the "row" formula work, though that's probably me doing something wrong. But you're right re (General). I never knew I could do that in Custom. One sees the "General" listed there but I guess one thinks that it's like a default. Who'da thunk that "(General)" would work. So I have "=ROW()-1" in the formula bar, and "(General)" in the custom formatting for the cell and the display is (1), (2), (3), etc. Perfect. Thanks! :oD |
