English: Excel has many built-in formats that you can use: Currency,
Accounting, Date, Time, Percentage, etc. If you cannot find the right
format, you can create a custom number format.

Custom Number Format


For example, you might have codes that consist of 5 numbers. Instead

of typing 00041, simply type 41 and let Excel add the leading zeros.

1. Enter the value 41 into cell A1.

2. Select cell A1, right click, and then click Format Cells.

3. Select Custom.

4. Type the following number format code: 00000

5. Click OK.

Note: Excel gives you a life preview of how the number will

be formatted (under Sample).

Result:

Note: cell A1 still contains the number 41. We only changed the

appearance of this number, not the number itself.

Decimal Places

You can also control the number of decimal places. Use 0 to display

the nearest integer value. Use 0.0 for one decimal place. Use 0.00 for

two decimal places, etc.

1. Enter the value 839.1274 into cell A1.

2. Use the following number format code: 0.00

Add Text

You can also add text to your numbers. For example, add "ft".

1. Enter the value 839.1274 into cell A1.

2. Use the following number format code: 0.0 "ft"

Note: remember, we only changed the appearance of this number, not

the number itself. You can still use this number in your calculations.

Large Numbers

You can also control large numbers. Use one comma (,) to display

thousands and use two commas (,,) to display millions.

1. Enter the following values in cells A1, B1, C1 and D1: 1000000,

2500000, 81000000 and 700000.

2. Use the following number format code: 0.0,, "M"

Note: we used 0.0 for one decimal place and "M" to add the letter M.

Repeat Characters

Use the asterisk (*) followed with a character to fill a cell with that

character.

1. Type Hi into cell A1.

2. Use the following number format code: @ *-

Note: the @ symbol is used to get the text input.

Colors

You can control positive numbers, negative numbers, zero values and

text all at the same time! Each part is separated with a semicolon (;) in

your number format code.

1. Enter the following values in cells A1, B1, C1 and A2: 5000000, 0, Hi

and -5.89.

2. Use the following number format

code: [Green]$#,##0_);[Red]$(#,##0);"zero";[Blue]"Text:" @

Note: #,## is used to add comma's to large numbers. To add a space,

use the underscore "_" followed by a character. The length of the space

will be the length of this character. In our example, we added a

parentheses ")". As a result, the positive number lines up correctly with

the negative number enclosed in parentheses. Use two parts separated

with a semicolon (;) to control positive and negative numbers only. Use

negative numbers and zero values only.
