Hi All

I found this VBA code on the forum which is really helpful, but not really understanding how it works I cant answer my subsidiary question.

The code is

Function InsertCommas(S As String) As String
InsertCommas = Application.Substitute(Replace(StrConv(S, vbUnicode), Chr(0), ","), ",", "", Len(S))
End Function

What Id like to do now is restrict this to only placing commas either immediately before a numeric value or immediately after a text value.

Can this be done?

Thanks

simon
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
