Hi I have a function in a workbook that reformats a number, taking out decimal place & replacing it with a comma:

MsgBox ReformatNumber((Sheet1.Cells(1, 1).Value))
& the function :
Private Function ReformatNumber(ByVal Num As Single) As String
ReformatNumber = Replace(Num, ".", ",")
End Function

now this works fine but I am trying to add zeros to the end so if a user enters 1 or 1.2 we get 1,00 & 1,20 not 1, & 1,2 as currently
I have tried Mid(Num, Trim(Len(Num)) -2 1, 1) = "." to identify items & then add zeros but the 'len' command always returns 4? within the function for any length of text??

any pointers as this ones in got me

thx

Alex
 

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.
Works fine thx very much

Had got round it with

If Left(Right(Num, 3), 1) = "." Then
ReformatNumber = Replace(Num, ".", ",")
ElseIf Left(Right(Num, 2), 1) = "." Then
ReformatNumber = Replace(Num, ".", ",") & "0"
Else
ReformatNumber = Num & "," & "00"
'End If

But your code is much neater, thx very much
