<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="88" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Number format codes can consist of up to three sections separated by a semicolon (;).</p>
<ul class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="108" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>In a number format code with two sections, the first section applies to positive values and zero, and the second section applies to negative values.</p>

</ul>
<ul class="L2">
<li class="">
<p class="P3"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="110" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>You can also assign conditions to the three sections, so that the format is only applied if a condition is met.</p>

<p class="Head2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="229" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Decimal Places and Significant Digits</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="3" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Use zero (0) or the number sign (#) as placeholders in your number format code to represent numbers. The (#) only displays significant digits, while the (0) displays zeroes if there are fewer digits in the number than in the number format.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="107" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Use question marks (?) to represent the number of digits to include in the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. Fractions that do not fit the pattern that you define are displayed as floating point numbers.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="4" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>If a number contains more digits to the right of the decimal delimiter than there are placeholders in the format, the number is rounded accordingly. If a number contains more digits to the left of the decimal delimiter than there are placeholders in the format, the entire number is displayed. Use the following list as a guide for using placeholders when you create a number format code:</p>
<p class="TextInTable"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="8" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Displays extra zeros if the number has less places than zeros in the format.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="21" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Depending on your language setting, you can use a comma or a period as a thousands separator. You can also use the separator to reduce the size of the number that is displayed by a multiple of 1000.</p>

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="82" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To include text in a number format that is applied to a cell that might contain text, enclose the text by double quotation marks (" "), and then add an at sign (@). For example, enter <span class="T1">"Total for "@</span> to display "Total for December".</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="81" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To use a character to define the width of a <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>space in a number format, type an underscore ( _ ) followed by the character. The width of the space varies according to the width of the character that you choose. For example, <span class="T1">_M</span> creates a wider space than <span class="T1">_i</span>.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="28" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To set the color of a section of a number format code, insert one of the following color names in square brackets []:</p>

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="91" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To define a number format that adds a different text to a number depending on if the number is positive, negative, or equal to zero, use the following format:</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="84" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To display numbers as percentages, (numbers that are multiplied by 100) add the percent sign (%) to the number format.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="85" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Scientific notation lets you write very large numbers or very small fractions in a compact form. For example, in scientific notation, 650000 is written as 6.5 x 10^5, and 0.000065 as 6.5 x 10^-5. In <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname>, these numbers are written as 6.5E+5 and 6.5E-5, respectively. To create a number format that displays numbers using scientific notation, enter a # or 0, and then one of the following codes E-, E+, e- or e+.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="99" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>The default currency format for the cells in your spreadsheet is determined by the regional setting of your operating system. If you want, you can apply a custom currency symbol to a cell. For example, enter #.##0.00 Γé¼ to display 4.50 Γé¼ (Euros).</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="167" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>You can also specify the locale setting for the currency by entering the locale code for the country after the symbol. For example, [$Γé¼-407] represents Euros in Germany. To view the locale code for a country, select the country in the <span class="T1">Language</span> list on the <span class="T1">Numbers</span> tab of the <span class="T1">Format Cells</span> dialog.</p>

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="228" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To enter a date in a cell, use the Gregorian calendar format. For example, in an English locale, enter <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>1/2/2002 for Jan 2, 2002.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="137" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>All date formats are dependent on the locale that is set in <span class="T1">Tools - Options - Language settings - Languages</span>. For example, if your locale is set to 'Japanese', then the Gengou calendar is used. The default date format in <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> uses the Gregorian Calendar.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="216" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To specify a calendar format that is independent of the locale, add a modifier in front of the date format. For example, to display a date using the Jewish calendar format in a non-Hebrew locale, enter: [~jewish]DD/MM/YYYY.</p>

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="170" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>To display numbers using native number characters, use a [NatNum1], [NatNum2], ... [NatNum11] modifier at the beginning of a number format codes.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="171" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>The [NatNum1] modifier always uses a one to one character mapping to convert numbers to a string that matches the native number format code of the corresponding locale. The other modifiers produce different results if they are used with different locales. A locale can be the language and the territory for which the format code is defined, or a modifier such as [$-yyy] that follows the native number modifier. In this case, yyy is the hexadecimal MS-LCID that is also used in currency format codes. For example, to display a number using Japanese short Kanji characters in an English US locale, use the following number format code:</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="173" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>In the following list, the Microsoft Excel [DBNumX] modifier that corresponds to <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> [NatNum] modifier is shown. If you want, you can use a [DBNumX] modifier instead of [NatNum] modifier for your locale. Whenever possible, <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> internally maps [DBNumX] modifiers to <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>[NatNumN] modifiers.</p>
