Custom Number Format issue

  • I have an excel to calculate the product price and difference in amount

    I am using the number format as [>=10000000]" "##\,##\,##\,##0;[>=100000]" " ##\,##\,##0;" "##,##0


    1) if the difference in amount is positive, the result value is satisfying the above number format

    2) if the difference is negative, its not showing as above number format.


    Pl. help in showing the result as expected.


    Attachment: Attached is the Excel.


    Thanks

  • Hi,


    Have you tested the custom format : [>=10000000]" "##,##,##,##0;[<0]" "\ ##,##,##0;" "##'##0


    Hope this will help :)

    Applied your formula. [>=10000000]" "##,##,##,##0;[<0]" "\ ##,##,##0;" "##'##0

    But only minus (-) is removed with the no number separator


    COL A COL B COL C COL D COL E

    Item A B C D

    Qty 1,200 1,000 800 3,000

    Price 2,200 2,000 1,200 4,000

    Amount 26,40,000 20,00,000 9,60,000 1,20,00,000


    Expected :- if the result is a negative number -xxxxxxxxxx. It should to displayed as -x,xx,xx,xx,xxx


    Amount is the Product of Qty and Price.

    =B4-C4 => 20,00,000 - 9,60,000 = 6,40,000. [resulted a postive number and number format seperated is ok (x,xx,xxx)


    =C4-B4 => 20,00,000 - 26,40,000 = 640,000. (got result applying >=10000000]" "##,##,##,##0;[<0]" "\ ##,##,##0;" "##'##0


    It should be displayed as -6,40,000.


    What is needed :

    For Negative result -> negative symbol with result & Number separator X,XX,XX,XX,XXX


    ingo


    When applying your formula, negative symbol is not showing, but the separator are ok.


    =C4-B4 => 20,00,000 - 26,40,000 = 6,40,000


    Needed -> negative symbol with result & Number separator X,XX,XX,XX,XXX

    .

  • Hi, How to combine the below formulae {both positive & negative cases)


    [<=-10000000]""- ##\,##\,##\,##0;[<=-100000]"" - ##\,##\,##0;" "##,##0


    [>=10000000]" "##\,##\,##\,##0;[>=100000]" " ##\,##\,##0;" "##,##0

  • You can't do that with just a number format. You'll need to use conditional formatting rules to apply one of the two formats based on the value of the cell.
