Formatting a number to two digits even if the first is a 0 vba
You cannot format an integer variable, you need to use a string variable for formatting.
You can convert the day part of a date to a format with leading zeros using the Day
function to extract the day number from the date, and then using the Format
function with a "00"
format to add a leading zero where necessary
Format(Day(myDate), "00")
myDate is a Date variable containing the full Date value
The following macro can be used as a working sample
Sub Macro1() Dim myDate As Date myDate = "2015-5-1" Dim dayPart As String dayPart = Format(Day(myDate), "00") MsgBox dayPartEnd Sub
Sure you can format an integer, you just convert it to string within the format command:
formattedIntAsString = Format(Cstr(intValue), "00")
I did it like this:
number_item = 2number_item = WorksheetFunction.Text(number_item, "00")
This will do the job.
