Appendix B: Using Custom Number Formats 745
This format string uses the General format for positive and negative values. You can, of course,
substitute any other format codes for the positive and negative parts of the format string.
Displaying leading zeros
To display leading zeros, create a custom number format that uses the 0 character. For example,
if you want all numbers to display with ten digits, use the number format string that follows.
Values with fewer than ten digits will display with leading zeros.
0000000000
You also can force all numbers to display with a fixed number of leading zeros. The format string
that follows, for example, prepends three zeros to each number:
“000”#
In the following example, the format string uses the repeat character code (an asterisk) to apply
enough leading zeros to fill the entire width of the cell:
*00
Displaying fractions
Excel supports quite a few built-in fraction number formats. (Select the Fraction category from
the Number tab of the Format Cells dialog box.) For example, to display the value .125 as a fraction
with 8 as the denominator, select As Eighths (4/8) from the Type list.
You can use a custom format string to create other fractional formats. For example, the following
format string displays a value in 50ths:
# ??/50
To display the fraction reduced to its lowest terms, use a question mark after the slash symbol.
For example, the value 0.125 can be expressed as 2/16, and 2/16 can be reduced to 1/8. Here’s an
example of a number format that displays the value as a fraction reduced to its simplest terms:
# ?/?
