I would like to display 0.37 as 37¢, in Excel. I can do .37¢ with the format .00¢, but 00¢ doesn't work, cause it works with the whole number part.

I know the percentage sign works with the next two digits, like I would like to do, so maybe there is a way to do a percentage formatting, and have a different character in place of the percent sign?

How about multiplying your value by 100, then using your format with a space in place of the decimal point. Of course, you'd have to remember that all of your values are now in cents instead of dollars and fractions of dollars.

You can use a formula with an IF to check for values greater (or less than) 1.

=IF(AND(A1>-1,A1<1),TEXT(A1*100,"00¢"),DOLLAR(A1))

What about this

#.00¢ 

for the Cell Format?

I missed what you were asking. – dbasnett Oct 8 '10 at 15:10
It still shows the decimal point. Thanks though – apeterson Oct 8 '10 at 15:11
Searching I did not find a solution that was just the format. – dbasnett Oct 8 '10 at 15:31

I made different options for you. can use any one my brother:

=IF(AND(A1>-1,A1<1),TEXT(A1*100,"0.000¢"),DOLLAR(A1))

=IF(AND(A1>-1,A1<1),TEXT(A1*100,"0.00¢"),DOLLAR(A1))

=IF(AND(A1>-1,A1<1),TEXT(A1*100,"0.0¢"),DOLLAR(A1))

=IF(AND(A1>-1,A1<1),TEXT(A1*100,"0.0000¢"),DOLLAR(A1))
