Excel: Keep trailing zero for integers, drop for all other numbers

[solid7]

So, I am trying to write a quick way to format metric fastener pitches in a table. The values are converted to a string, as I'm outputting a completely descriptive size, based on the input parameters. The problem I'm encountering is that I can't find a way to force Excel to drop all trailing zeroes EXCEPT in the case of integers, where I want them to display to one place.

So, IF a value is an integer, THEN, display X.0

ELSE, normal behavior for general numbers. (1.2, 1.37, etc)

How might I accomplish this?

Thank you.

Hi,

Assuming that the value is in A1...
[tt]
=IF(INT(A1)=A1,TEXT(A1,"#.0"),TEXT(A1,"@"))
[/tt]

Skip,

Just traded in my OLD subtlety...
for a NUance![/sub]

Alternative formula (hope that thereis sufficient number of #s):
[tt]=TEXT(VALUE(A1),"0.0#################")[/tt]
If in A1 you have value, replace VALUE(A1) by A1.

Thanks, SkipVought. Worked perfectly.
