Formating.

How do i format A1in a column to become A01.
what i normally do is add the 0 manually.

RE: Formating.

Hi Sylvia

Thank you for your question. In this case you could right click the cell in question, choose Format cells then from the number categories choose Custom.

In the Type entry cell replace the contents with A00 (A zero zero)
Now when you type a single digit in the cell Excel will add A0 before your entry.

You can then use format painter to copy the format to other cells.

Let me know if this produces the result you are looking for.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Formula for last day of month

In some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1
