  • So simple but extremly useful. Thanks

  • I am glad that this trick was useful for you!

  • hi ExcelIsFun thanks for the vid, very interesting!!

    are there any other special characters?

    that could go without quotes?

  • Not that I know of. k is the only one that I have used without quotes. All other text, I have put in "quotes".

  • Title "Custom Number Format for Rounding to" is misleading per EMT#14 formating does not round a number. Using the round function combined with the custom number format to add the k would provide a rounded number that could be used in subsequent formulas. In my opinion.

  • Good point! Formatting does not round a number, it just gives the appearance that is rounded.
