Aligns text and numbers at the Left of the cell(s).
Aligns text and numbers at the Right of the cell(s).
Retains the current cell alignments. Use this code
when changing format but not alignment.
Uses the Default format for the cell(s).
Continues text into the next column ifit does not
fit in one cell. The cell in the next column must be
empty and also formatted as Continuous.
Scientific notation (Exponential). Displays
numbers as an integer or decimal number
(mantissa) times 10 to the power of a positive or
negative integer (exponent). (For example, 1.85E2
or 1.85E+02, represents 185.)
Note that the number of decimal places you choose
(in the next field) should be one less than the
number of significant digits in your numbers (or
greater).
If 0 decimal places are chosen, 14000 appears
as I E+04 in scientific notation. Because
decimal places do not appear when you
choose 0, the number (which should appear as
1.4E+04) appears to be inaccurate. The
correct number will always appear in the
EDIT
field of the Edit command.
Rounds numbers to the number of decimal places
you specify in the
# of decimals
field.
General. Displays numbers as precisely as possible
in the available cell width.
