Hi
I'm using VBA and relatively new to it. I've written a MACRO to pull in certain cell values from a report sheet (with IF statements etc) to a new sheet. how do i make sure that the cell values in the new sheet are formatted to show 2 decimal places? this is MS Excel 2007.

thanks

Hi & Welcome to the Board!

Code:
Range("A1:A100").NumberFormat = "0.00;-0.00"

You can amend range/format string to your exact requirements.

thanks! what i should've mentioned (and realised after trying your suggestion) is that the values are linked wtih text so it forms a sentence i.e.

reports 'year' income of 0 in x report but 1 in y report, a difference of 1.

the numbers in that string need to be formatted to 2 decimal places.
