VBA formatting issue












1















I'm formatting a cell with the following format using VBA (€ accounting):



"_-* #.##0,00 €_-;-* #.##0,00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-"


But strangely in Excel the numbers are shown as i.e. 50,05 is 50,05000€.



When I select format I get the following:



_-* #,##000 €_-;-* #,##000 €_-;_-* "-"?? €_-;_-@_-


The commata in the zeros have gone missing. How do I fix this?



Thanks

          I find the . strange in the left part.



          I would try something like "_-* # ##0,00 €_-;-* # ##0,00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-"

            i see some thousands and decimal separator mistake here



            "_-* #.##0,00 €_-;-* #.##0,00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-" is for dots as thousand separator and commas as decimal separator



            while your example (i.e. 50,05), is pointing to a comma decimal separator



            may be your excel adopts the opposite convention



            go to Click File > Options, click "Advanced" tab and go to "Editing options" section by the end of which you can check what thousands and decimal separator have been assumed



            and then change your code accordingly



            or you can use a somewhat "insensitive" code which adopts currently separator conventions:



            Selection.NumberFormat = "_-* #" & Application.ThousandsSeparator & "##0" & Application.DecimalSeparator & ",00 €_-;-* #" & Application.ThousandsSeparator & "##0" & Application.DecimalSeparator & "00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-"


            or, in a slightly more readable form:



            With Application
            Selection.NumberFormat = "_-* #" & .ThousandsSeparator & "##0" & .DecimalSeparator & ",00 €_-;-* #" & .ThousandsSeparator & "##0" & .DecimalSeparator & "00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-"
            End With

              I have found the mistake. I had to swap the commata and points to:
