can anyone tell me how i can format a cell (with number) to a #+## format? i have alignment stationing in Land desktop which are 19+35.88, 4+56.63 etc. i want to type 1935.88 in excel and want excel to display 19+35.88, so that i can still run formulas in this cell. any help is appreciated.
 

go to custom format and enter the following:
###+##.00
 
Rats, cvg! You beat me to it!

Achhibber, from the menu go to /format/cells, click the number tab, and 'custom' is at the bottom of the list.
