This starts out as an Excel file that I've cut and pasted together
containing SS#'s and amounts. I used a formula to get the dollar amounts. I
format the amount cell to currency, 0 decimal places.
I then have to format the spread sheet and then save it as a *.prn file so I
can upload it to another company.
For instance I have a " fee amount" cell that has "22" in it. I have to
customize the format so that it has 11 spaces, zero filled so there are no
spaces in the cell. The end result looks like this: 00000000022
Now I'm told the cell needs to look like this: 00000002200
I changed the custom format to 9 space and went in and added 2 - 00's to the
end of every fee amount.
Short of doing this to 800 cells every quarter, can anyone think of a way to
customize my cell to add the zeroes at the end of the line.
Maybe there would be a way for the original formula to give me a result of
2200, signifying $22.00?
Excel 2000.
Any help at all out there, please?
Thanks,
Cindy

How about using a helper column of cells that converts your values to text and
then delete the original column:
=text(b2*100,"00000000000")
Drag down the column
select that range
edit|copy
edit|paste special|values
And delete the original column.
Another option would be to give that column a custom number format:
000000000\0\0

Genius! It worked.
Thank you so much.
