How to format number and not return ######
I have formatted a number as 0.00" C/Mtres" and it returns the result
of #### because the column is too narrow. If I don't want to make the column wider or reduce the size of the font how do I fix this? |

Merge that cell with an adjacent one. Only other thing I can think of is to
change the formatting to something that fits in the cell. " wrote: I have formatted a number as 0.00" C/Mtres" and it returns the result of #### because the column is too narrow. If I don't want to make the column wider or reduce the size of the font how do I fix this? |

That "change the formatting to something that fits in the cell" might be as
simple as selecting Format Cells, clicking the Alignment tab and placing a checkmark in the "Shrink to fit" check box under the "Text control" section. Rick "JMB" wrote in message ...

Although I should also mention I'm not a fan of using merged cells (except
occasionally for headers, but never for data). I've heard they can cause other problems (particularly if you have macros that work with said data).

Rather than merging, you may wish to centre the content of that cell across
a group of cells. -- David Biddulph "JMB" wrote in message ... Although I should also mention I'm not a fan of using merged cells (except occasionally for headers, but never for data).
