Custom format for scientific notation
Hello,
I have a spreadsheet in which I would like one value to always be displayed in scientific notation with E6. The number gets put into a nomograph which uses values in the millions, so it's easiest to see if my value is written this way. Example: 1,234 would display as 0.001234E6 I've tried ##0.00E0, but if the value is less than 100,000 it displays as E3. Any ideas? Thanks! Melinda

Custom format for scientific notation
As long as you don't have any values greater than or equal to 1E9, you
can fake it: Format/Cells/Number/Custom [1000000]\0\.000000\E+6;##0.000000E+0 In article , "Melinda" wrote: Hello, I have a spreadsheet in which I would like one value to always be displayed in scientific notation with E6.

Thanks! I doubt we'll ever reach the billions, so I think we're safe
using this format. Whew, these are too complicated! Melinda JE McGimpsey wrote: As long as you don't have any values greater than or equal to 1E9, you can fake it: Format/Cells/Number/Custom [1000000]\0\.000000\E+6;##0.000000E+0
