Formatting problem with vb


Posted by Stephen on December 10, 2001 6:04 AM

Hi mrexcel,

I am having a problem correctly formatting a price field when it originates from a vbgrid. It correctly shows the field in the vbgrid and the first couple occurrences in excel, but then it starts displaying the decimal field out to 8 positions instead of 2.
The vbcode look like this: ( I enlarged the code that should format the field)
With XL

.Range("C7:W7").Select
.ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Headings1", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Sheet1!R3C3:R3C23"

Dim Head1
Dim i As Integer
Set Head1 = .Range("Headings1")
i = 0
For i = 1 To 21
Head1(i) = MyHead(i)
Next i

Dim Grid_Rec_Cnt As Integer
Grid_Rec_Cnt = MSHFlexGrid1.Rows
.Range("C7:BR" & Grid_Rec_Cnt + 6).Select

Dim var1 As String
var1 = "sheet1"
.Range("C9:W23").Select
.Range("W9").Activate
.ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Load_Data_Range", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Sheet1!R5C4:R23C23"

.Sheets("Sheet1").Select
.Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "Wash Buy data"

Dim Load_area
.Range("Load_Data_Range").ClearContents
Set Load_area = .Range("Load_Data_Range")
.Selection.NumberFormat = "0;-0;;@"
.Range("A1").Select 'Go to Upper left conner(cell A1)

Dim J As Integer
rsGrid.MoveFirst 'go to the 1st record in the recordset
For i = 1 To rsGrid.RecordCount
For J = 0 To 20
Load_area(i, J) = rsGrid(J)
Next J
rsGrid.MoveNext
Next i

.Application.Goto Reference:="Headings1"
.Selection.Font.Bold = True
End With

With XL
.Cells.Select
.Selection.Columns.AutoFit
.Range("C9").Select
.Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00"
End With

XL.Quit

The excel data shows this:

01326 0023 B 06098 ONION DRY WH/PLD 25# Z 2 AGX04 12.11999989 25 0 a 0
As you can see, the COST PRICE field intermitently shows invalid formatted data. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks, Steve Burgio

Hi Stephen,

I notice that your code only formats cell C9 on the active worksheet. Why not format the whole column? If it is column L (it looks like column L from your listing of the Excel data), the code in your XL With block would be:

.Columns(12).Cells.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00"

Happy computing.
