Excel cell custom format

cell formatmicrosoft excel

I cannot find the way, how to create custom cell format in Excel.

For example, I have value 3.5555, which is displayed as 3.6.
I would like to get displayed 35 555.
If I insert number 5 … I would like to see 50 000. If I enter number 5.1 …. I would like to see 51 000.
I would like to basically display the values in 10 000.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Create a custom number format

On the Home tab, in the Number group, click More Number Formats at the bottom of the Number Format list Format Number box.

  • In the Format Cells dialog box, under Category, click Custom.

  • In the Type list, select the built-in format that most resembles the one that you want to create. For example, 0.00.

  • The number format that you select appears in the Type box.

  • In the Type box, modify the number format codes to create the exact format that you want. For example, 000-000-0000.

  • Your changes will not alter the built-in format. Instead, your changes create a new custom number format.

  • When you have finished, click OK.
