Formatting Cells

You can format cell values using standard number, date time, and custom formats.

Numbers are formatted based on the current culture. The default culture is English.

The custom format mode supports the combo, conditional, and forecolor formatters. The "(", ")", and "*" expressions are not supported.

Use the Formatter property to specify the format in code.

Using Code

This example sets the Formatter property for the cell.
