I'm assuming that it's because you have the Trillion at the end and therefore anything over 999999999.999 is coming up as B?

Do you need to put

[>999999999999.999]#.0,,, _-"T";

at the beginning?

Hi,
Thank u so much for the update. but when i add first i am getting message " microsoft excel cant use number format you typed". when i make only two condition for the T and B it is working fine. so am i right in assuming more than two condition is not accepting in the format. is there any way to accept more than two condition.

Sorry, you can't have more than 3 conditions.

Sorry, you can't have more than 3 conditions.

But you can "fake" it by using VB event code...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C:C")) Is Nothing Then
    If Target.Value < 1000000 Then
      Target.NumberFormat = "#,##0 _M"
    ElseIf Target.Value < 1000000000 Then
      Target.NumberFormat = "#.0,, ""M"""
    ElseIf Target.Value < 1000000000000# Then
      Target.NumberFormat = "#.0,,, _-""B"""
    Else
      Target.NumberFormat = "#.0,,,, _-""T"""
    End If
  End If
End Sub

NOTE: The above code is set to monitor Column C... change what I have highlighted in red to the letter designation for the actual column range you want to monitor.

HOW TO INSTALL Event Code
------------------------------------
If you are new to event code procedures, they are easy to install. To install it, right-click the name tab at the bottom of the worksheet that is to have the functionality to be provided by the event code and select "View Code" from the popup menu that appears. This will open up the code window for that worksheet. Copy/Paste the event code into that code window. That's it... the code will now operate automatically when its particular event procedure is raised by an action you take on the worksheet itself.
