EDITOR NOTES Top
Hi Fellow Excel Addict, I hope you're having a great week. The responses I received from my email asking for your opinion on my giveaway prize were phenomenal. I'll have a separate email going out later with more details on that. To everyone who responded, Thank You! I hope you avoided that email worm virus. I received hundreds of those infected emails but I was smart enough to delete them. Just another reminder if you want to send an email to me. I get so much junk email, it is sometimes difficult to determine which emails are good and which are junk. To make sure I don't accidentally delete an email from you, please put "Excel Addict" in your Subject line. That way I won't miss it. If you are responding to one of my emails or newsletters, just Reply to it as usual and there's no need to change the Subject line. I wouldn't want you to think I'm ignoring your emails. Well , I have more new tips for you this week. I hope they help make your week a little easier.

"HOW TO EXCEL" MINI-TUTORIAL Top Display Values With Dollars And Cents Symbols There may be times when you want to show a cents symbol (¢) for values that are less than $1.00 and a dollar symbol($) for values that are a dollar or more. To do this you need to use a "conditional number format" (i.e. a number format that depends on the condition). If the condition is that the value in the cell is less than a dollar, the cents symbol will be displayed (i.e. .87¢) otherwise, the dollar symbol will be displayed.

BONUS "NON-EXCEL" TIP Top Quickly Copy Files In Windows Explorer Last week my "Quick Tip" showed you how to open a duplicate of an existing Excel workbook.
