How do I put a formula in a Custom Number Format in Excel? For example (random example for illustration purposes),
Assume I have the following data:
INPUT
OUTPUT
Without editing the actual data in the cells, I would like to display the value in the cell divided by 2, and with two decimal places:
Is there a way to do this directly in the Custom Number Format, i.e. Without adding helper columns/cells doing the division calculation. NB. the part that has me stumped is doing the division calculation in the Number Format
Thanks!
The answer is NO, if you want to do it through custom format in a cell directly.
However, there is workaround in pivot table using calculated field option as shown below:
By the way I am curious why you want to show the number in a value other than its true value in a cell? This is not a good practice which could lead to misuse of the data in my humble opinion.
