Format Mail Merge Numbers with Decimals and Commas

When you use mail merge, it does not pick up the format of numbers in Excel. When you need to add the commas and decimals in the merge field in MS Word, you need to apply a field code or syntax that mail merge will recognize to render the number format correctly.

[@user-db2hx1qe9e]

can you use the \# when you are also using /b and /f? I have a mergefield that is formatted add a number and when I merge any field that has decimals i get a false number... 38.10 turns into 38.100000000000001 but i cant seem to add a \# because the field already uses \b and \f.
Any help you may have would be greatly appreciated.

[@MdRokunuzzamanrbd]

Hi, in excel cell blank or 0. Then i want to show -. Can you please help. I mean accounting format.

[@rakquino]

What if I want the results to show as percentage? Please help. Thanks!

[@ExcelInsights]

Word cannot perform calculations in this aspect so make sure that your Excel data is just waiting to be formatted (i.e. not in decimal or less than 1.)
The format code is simple /# #%

[@ExcelInsights]

Hi, use #s for numbers and 0s for decimals:
#,#.00 with comma and two decimal places.

[@andromeda6453]

I want the result : 15.000 not 15,000 how?

[@ExcelInsights]

Try #,.#00
