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.

Format
Cells
Number
Custom
In the 'Type' box put something like '00 Kg'

D'oh. Didn't think to put the text in inverted commas
Thanks, I may remember that when the time comes that I need it.

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?
