Alignment: Center text but Right numbers.
I have an equation in B16 which, if B10 has a valid entry, will bring in a
factor. This factor should be aligned to the Right, or General (as numbers align to the right automatically). However, if B10 is invalid, my B16 formula puts text in B16, and I would like that Centered. I cannot find a way to Center under Conditional Formatting, but I am wondering if there is a different way to Center when the text is there? Using Excel 2007 -- Brad E. |

Try this worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() Set b16 = Range("B16") With b16 If IsNumeric(.Value) Then .HorizontalAlignment = xlRight Else .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter End If End With End Sub Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window 2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it. To remove the macro: 1. bring up the VBE windows as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200800 "Brad E." wrote: I have an equation in B16 which, if B10 has a valid entry, will bring in a factor.

hi, Brad !
1) apply a center-alignment to your range (B16) 2) apply a custom number format "filling left" w/spaces if number (i.e.) * 0;* -0;* ;@ hth, hector. __ OP __ I have an equation in B16 which, if B10 has a valid entry, will bring in a factor.
