Hi Debra,

Thank You Very much for saving us. This is the only workable way I have found after searching hundreds of web pages.
Any way you can define different set of coding and do the same thing so that the txt fields are appearing.
(Eg; Code 1: for “North” [=1], “South”[=2] code 2 for “East”[=3],”West”[=4])
But the appearance of the table is bit of a issue.

Hi Mark,
Yes, there’s a limit of 2 items that can be formatted this way with a custom number format. I’ve added a line to the blog post, to clarify that.
Thanks,
Debra

Hi ,

I’ve done this example for 1 and 2 but does it not work up to 3 and 4? Is their a limit?

Thanks
