using ============
 

Hi, I have a question. Instead of actually typing ====== or ------------ , is
there a function or formula that allows me display this sort of design on the
spreadsheet instead of manually having to type it in. Thanks
For example my spreadsheet looks like this:

Demand
2
5
7
2
===== Instead of typing it, I would like to learn the formula or function
to use
17 this design.

Thanks.

Use a custom number format like

#,##0*=

The old Lotus 123 '\=' works too.

It works for me if I have
Tools|Options|transition tab|transition navigation keys
checked.

You're right about that requirement. I'm an old lotus guy so I have to use
that setting or I couldn't function.
