Hi,

I am having trouble removing the zero that is automatically inserted in front of the decimal point. Is it possible to remove this? Also, if there is a fix, is it possible to amend all of the cells in one fell swoop without having to re-enter information?

Thank you for your time and for any help that can be given.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Nevermind. Fixed the problem myself.

In case anyone else is wondering, I did this by highlighting my cells, right-clicking, selecting Format Cells, going to Custom, and typing in the text box "X.000" (since I needed to round to three decimal places). The X specifies that any number in front of the decimal point is non-zero, which is important at least for my numbers.

Thanks anyway! This is a great forum even though I didn't get a response when normal people are sleeping. :biggrin:
