Yes I got the ? sign
Maybe it depends on the font being used

Hi Bernard,

I also tried to solve this problem, and for euro my Excel recorded
numberformat "[$?-2]# ##0,00"

Note the ? sign!

In VBA
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "["[$?-2]# ##0.00"
worked perfectly.

In your example ? sign is replaced by ? (question mark). Did it produce ?
sign on the worksheet?

I also recorded cell formatting to £, and it resulted in a nice £ 9999.99
format in the cell but it was recorded in the macro as "[$L-809]#,##0.00"
format code.
In VBA
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "[$L-809]#,##0.00"

gave an ugly L 9999.99 format.

In no way I could produce £ 9999.99 format in the cell through VBA.

Do you know why? And how to overcome it?

Regards,
Stefi

Begin by recording three macros: one for each currency. Here is mine for
the
Euro

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 03/03/2009 by Bernard V Liengme
'
'
Range("A2").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "[$?-2] #,##0.00"
End Sub

I edited this to become
Sub Euro()
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "[$?-2] #,##0.00"
End Sub


Next use View | Toolbars | Forma to add three buttons to your worksheet
Assign one of your macros to each button as you make them

Hi all,

I'm working in a spreadsheet with different currencies.

Is there a way to create buttons to change the format of a cell to a
different currency? I'd need 3 of them (for ?, $ and £ )

thx
