Excel Number Format Option Listingby merrymonk (Hermit) |

merrymonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This question is specifically about Excel 2007 but it may well apply to other versions. In the pull down menu for Number formats there is an option called Custom.When Custom is selected you get a window header Format Cells. This has a number of Catergories. When you select Custom, you get a list of allowable formatting strings such as #,##0;-#,##0 on the right hand side of this window. I have found differences between the way these formats work on English and Spanish versions of Excel. I want to run some tests on the Spanish version but have some difficulties since I do not have easy access to this PC. A good step would be to write the options in the right hand table to a file. I could then use this list is a test programme.Does anyone know how this can be done?
