    Strange financial issue

    Hi,

    For some strange reason I can't format it to normal financial format.

    Normal it should look like € 234,05

    But now it looks like € 234,05,000

    Can someone help? And tell me what happened?

    Check your custom formatting. You have it set to add trailing zeros after the value is entered.

    It appears to me that whoever created the number format code for those cells used the same character (","?) as both the thousands separator and the decimal separator. I think this caused Excel to decide that you intend it to simply display those characters ("0,00") at the end of the number (#,##). I think that, if you put the correct thousands separator in the appropriate place in the number format code ("#.##0,00"?), then you will get the display you want.
