    Custome Number Format

    I am putting together a spread sheet and have like 4-5 cells where the number entered will always be in inches. Is there a way to do a custom number format so the people entering can add a number and the " will be added automatically. Similar to currency where you add 500 and $500 shows. Thanks!

    try this in custom format:

    0.00"''"

    I'm not sure is it correct but it would show you for example 5,432"

    Not sure if you need only whole numbers or not so that it doesn't round....but for 2 decimal places(adjust format as needed for more or less)......

    0.00\"
