Return a 3 digit number
The line below returns the day of the year (Julian date) so will return a
number from 1 to 365. Is there any way to get this to always return a 3 digit number? If the number is 1 then I need 001 if it is 45 I need 045 and if it is 241 then I need 241. =C4-DATE(YEAR(C4),1,0) |

Return a 3 digit number
You could use a custom number format of 000 however, any leading zeros will
be for *display* purposes only. For example, 045 would be displayed but the true underlying value of the cell will be 45. You can use a formula like this: =TEXT(C4-DATE(YEAR(C4),1,0),"000") That will return a *TEXT* string in the form 045. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Patrick C. Simonds" wrote in message ...
