I had found that but haven't seemed to be able to do the format.

If you haven't figured this out, I found it in the help by searching for "scientific notation" and found that the help screens don't show this everywhere: E+ Scientific notation. If any of the strings "E+", "E-", "e+", or "e-" are contained in the format string, the number is formatted using scientific notation. A group of up to four "0" characters can immediately follow the "E+", "E-", "e+", or "e-" to determine the minimum number of digits in the exponent. The "E+" and "e+" formats cause a plus sign to be output for positive exponents and a minus sign to be output for negative exponents. The "E-" and "e-" formats output a sign character only for negative exponents. Albert On 02/04/2013 1:11 PM, jan johansen wrote: > OK.
