Default custom cell formating

I want to create my own cell format like this format: 74D--TQ (the format
would have number, number, letter, dash, dash, letter, letter).
Can anyone help me create this type of format?

Just select all the cells and then perform the formating.

Lonnie

If the letters will always be just D--TQ then follow Gary's Student's
suggestion.

If you want to create an input mask for any combination of letters then you
can't do it with cell formatting alone.

You would need VBA event code to do that.

Enter 74dqt and cell will display 74D--QT

Enter 74rst and cell will display 74R--ST

Is that what you want?
