Formatting
Posted by Leigh on January 08, 2001 6:40 AM
I have formatted a cell to display a number value at 2 decimal places and have displayed the result in a label control on a form. But, the label is displaying the result in an exponential format. Is it possible to display the label.caption as a number format similer to the cell (2 decimal places)?
Any ideas would be greatfully received

The Label Control will only display text.
Change the formula in the desired cell so that the results appear the same as a Number or as Text.
For example:
A1=12.3456789
If it is formatted as Number with 2 decimal places it appears as 12.35, but as Text it still appears as 12.3456789.
Use the ROUND function to get rid of extra decimal places.
Example:
ROUND(A1,2)will appear as 12.35 if it is formatted as a Number or Text.
