    Format Cell conversion

    I have financial values of nn.nnnnnnnn that need to be in a format of $nn,nnn.nn
    Example 51.6724651 needs to display as $51,672.465 - can anyone advise what best format to use?

    Hi Kausch,

    If you would like to convert on the original cells, you may type "1000" in a blank cell, copy it, select the data source cell(s), right click, select paste special > Multiply > OK:

    Then press Ctrl +1, change the cell format to Currency and set the decimal places to 3:

    Re: Format Cell conversion

    Im puzzled, you want to convert a "tens" number 51.6724651 to a "ten-thousand" number?
    What range of base values are you dealing with, will they all be *1000?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Format Cell conversion

    Thanks everyone - you've come through for me again! I was tinkering with the "cell formatting" options and didn't think it was as simple as that.
    I call it "tunnel-vision" syndrome and not being able to laterally think outside the box. Your solutions worked a treat.

    FDibbins - in answer to your question, the decimal point was in the incorrect place and treated as a "decimal" whereas I needed it to be a comma to indicate thousand's and the decimal three digits after the comma to indicate hundred's. The solutions given are perfect.
