Hi,

I've got a RightHeader that is referencing a number from a cell. However, sometimes that figure has 12 numbers to the right of the decimal. Is there some code that I can use that will format the number in the header so that it only goes 2 decimal places?
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Untested, but can you use the Format command when assigning the value from the cell to the header ?

ie:

Label1.Caption = Format(Cells(4, 3).Value, "#.###") for 3 decimal places

Code:
Sub RtHdr()
'assumes your number for header is in range a1
'good luck, Chas Weber
    myHeader = Format(Range("a1"), "00.00")
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = myHeader
End Sub

Thank you too, Chas17. I just saw your post and it too works. I'm not real good a using code to do formatting, but both of you have given me some insight.

Thanks again.
