Exclamation

Hi

I'm trying to format a single cell in Excel, so that when you enter just a numeric number, eg 34, 34kgs is displayed in the cell.

I know that it can be done, under format cells / number / custom as I have done it before years ago, but now cannot remember, doh!

(It was done on a pc that I no longer have access to).

Thanks for any help in advance.

Buck

In the 'Type' box put something like '00 Kg'

Lynne dropped me this link and I pretty much followed suit, spitting out my Archers all over the keyboard and screen.

DJ Duck did you say Lynne?
