Formatting cells

How do I show - instead of 0 in cells (almost like accounting format with no symbols) but centred - I can only get it aligned to the right

RE: formatting cells

Hi Claire,

It was nice meeting you on Thursday. I have found a solution:
In your selected cells, open Format Cells and select Custom. In the Type box, type #;-#;-
Positive and negative numbers will stay unchanged and zeros will show as -

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Enter formulae into multiple cells

If a formula is to be used in a series of cells, select the cells first. Now type in your formula and hold the Ctrl key while you press Enter. This enters the formula in each selected cell.

Just be careful with your absolute and relative cell references.
