Format custom number: C-0000-L
Hi, I need to format a few cells in Excel to look like C-0000-L where "0000"
represents four numbers and "L" represents a letter. I tried to do it in format - custom with C-0000-@ but it gives me an error message. I also tried to do it using the concatenate function but it doesn`t work. Can anyone please help me? Thanks! -- Sonia |

Format custom number: C-0000-L
Assuming the number is in cell A1 and the letter is in cell A2 then use this
formula: ="C-"&A1&"-"&A2 Not custom formatting. Tom |
