    Display Custom Units

    Hello All,
    Is it possible to create a custom number format that will display a custom unit in the cell next to the number? I would like to display Watts with the number directly in the cell and still be able to use the number in a calculation.

    I realize that I could put the units in a column next to the number.

    Thank you

    Change the format to, for example, General"W"

    Hi,

    Yes, just format the cell as
    "watts" 0
    or
    0 "watts"
