Japanese Yen Format in Excel

Applying it quickly

To apply the Japanese Yen format can take quite a few mouse clicks.

The macro that does it, on the other hand, is quite simple. Select the range, then run the macro.

Sub JapaneseYen()

Selection.NumberFormat = "[$¥-411]#,##0.00"

End Sub

Techniques to Paste Values in Excel

Lose the formulas and keep the values

Sometimes in Excel you need to paste just the values from copied cells. You don’t want the formulas. You may have created temporary formulas that you need to replace with their values. You may need to capture the current values, make some changes and then compare the new values with their old values to see the difference.

Macro to save all open Excel files

Time saver

If you have a number of linked Excel files and you make a structural change (insert rows or columns) you need to save all the open files to ensure that the links are updated and retained. This can be tedious as there is no Save All option in Excel. Word has a Save All option, but not Excel.
