Multiplan: Commas Lost in Versions 3.x Spreadsheets PSS ID Number: Q62390 Article last modified on 06-18-1990 PSS database name: D_MPlan

4.00 4.01 4.20

MS-DOS

Summary:

The comma format is not carried forward when a spreadsheet from Multiplan version 3.00, 3.01, 3.02, or 3.04 is loaded into version 4.00, 4.01, or 4.20.

This problem is due to the fact that the Format Options “commas:” command field is available only when choosing the old menus option within version 4.00, 4.01, or 4.20.

To display commas as a format default in Multiplan version 4.00, 4.01, or 4.20, the Format Default Cells “format:” field must contain a format that includes commas (for example, the custom format “##,###,###”). Once this default format is established, any cells formatted for the default will appropriately display commas.
