From: John on 1 Mar 2010 01:48 Hi I have a few numeric hours appear on a report like this; 2 9.75 12.5 This is all fine but when a number like 1.83333 appears I only would like it to limit to two decimal places as 1.83. How can I achieve this? Thanks Regards

From: John on 1 Mar 2010 02:13 Hi John Thanks. Using #.00 works for 1.83333 to make it 1.83 but for other numbers 2, 9.75, 12.5 it also changes them to 2.00, 12.50. How can I get round that? Basically the values are hours and it looks good if no zeros show after decimal if its a complete number. Thanks "John W.

From: John on 1 Mar 2010 02:19 Basically I need formatting applied as below; Before / After 2 / 2 9.75 / 9.75 12.5 / 12.5 1.83333 / 1.83 Basically if digits after decimal are more than two then round/trim to two decimal., leave everything else alone.

If just using Round() doesn't work, then I don't know any *simple* way to do that. You would need some VBA code to parse the number and construct a text string with the desired decimals. -- John W.
