Question

I am currently writing an application (C#) to generate reports in a excel file, based on other reports.

The problem is that, once get an number from a certain sheet, and copy to another one, the destination cell is not formated correctly, and the number does no display correctly.

E.g : 
Number from source : 14.34 
Number on destination : 14.345661

How do i format the destination cell to force the number formating to be the same as the source cell.

Thanks !

Answer 1

The format of a given cell/range in excel can be set via code.

public void SetCustomFormat(string format, int r, int c)
{
    ((Excel.Range)xlWks.Cells[r, c]).NumberFormat = format;
}

In your specific case, I believe you would need to use the format “#.00” or “#.##”
