Formatting Numbers in Excel using VBA
When working with Excel, particularly while creating automated reports, it's common to format numeric values in a more visually appealing way. One specific requirement might be to insert commas into numbers and to make certain text bold. If you're engaged in such a project, this guide will guide you on how to add commas to numbers and format the text using Excel VBA.
The Challenge
Let's say you have data inputs in Sheet2, and you want to present them in a specific format in Sheet1. For example:
In Sheet2, you might have:
C10=1000
C11=150000
In Sheet1, you'd like to see:
C4= 1,000.00 MWh
C5= 150,000 Dollar
You encountered a problem: although your initial VBA code successfully retrieved the numbers and made them bold, it did not format the numbers with commas.
Solution Overview
Fortunately, there’s a simple solution to properly format your numbers in Excel using VBA. The key is to set the .NumberFormat property and ensure the values being displayed are numeric. Below are the steps to achieve the desired formatting.
Step-by-Step Solution
Retrieve Values: Start by fetching the values from the specified cells.
Apply Number Format: Use the .NumberFormat property to format these values with commas.
Display Values: Insert the formatted values into your target cells, along with the relevant units (e.g., "MWh" or "Dollar").
Make Text Bold: Ensure the numeric parts of the text are bold for clarity.
Implementing the Code
Here's how you can modify and implement your VBA code:

Explanation of the Code
Variable Declaration: Using Dim, Range1 and Range2 are declared to store the data from Sheet2.
Setting Cell Value: The values from C10 and C11 are assigned directly to C4 and C5.
Number Formatting:
For MWh, the format # ,# # 0.00 "MWh" adds commas and ensures two decimal points.
For Dollar, the format # ,# # 0 "Dollar" adds commas without decimal points.
Bold Text Formatting: The .Characters() method allows you to specify the number of characters to bold, which in this case is the entire numeric part.
Conclusion
By following this structured approach, you can seamlessly add comma formatting to numbers in Excel using VBA and enrich your reports with bold styling. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your spreadsheets but also improves data readability. If you have any further questions or need additional tips, feel free to leave a comment below!
Now you can present clean, professional reports with ease.
