Hi everyone. I have a data array of numbers generated by a Vlookup formula. I would like the formatting of all numbers except those with a value of 0 to be of 6 decimals. For 0 values, I would like the format to have no decimals. I tried doing this with conditional formatting but there's no option to do this. Is there some other way to get this done? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Lenze. When I use that custom format, it returns negative values with a parenthesis. Is there any way to modify it so that negative numbers appear with a minus sign instead? Sorry for the followup question ^_^;

From my reading of your question, I think that you need this:
0.000000;-0.000000;0
