Formatting Numbers to Display A Certain Way in Labels

[JonSea31]

I would like to know how to code a number that ends with "000000" and display that particular number in a label as "# MIL".

Like, say, if I had to enter in a text box the number 56000000, then instead of displaying the number as "56000000" in the label, it should display as "56 MIL" (MIL meaning million).

Also, for numbers higher than 9999 but lower than 1000000, the number should display a comma to distinguish the thousands. How do I do this, along with the "MIL" scenario?

Many uses for the Format$ function.

 Dim Mega As Long
 Dim Num As Long
 Mega = 10 ^ 6
 Num = 1550 * Mega
 Debug.Print Format$(Num / Mega, "# Mil")
 Debug.Print Format$(Num, "###,##0")
 Debug.Print Format$(Num / Mega, "###,##0 MIL")

This may help:

    Text1.Text = "56000000"
    'Text1.Text = "56000012"
    'Text1.Text = "12345"
    
    Dim n As Long
    n = Val(Text1.Text)
    Label1.Caption = Format(n, IIf(n <> 0 And n Mod 1000000 = 0, "#,,"" MIL""", "#,##0"))

56 MIL
56,000,012
12,345

If IsNumeric(Text1.Text) Then Label1.Caption = Int(Text1.Text / 10000@) / 100 & " MIL"


"56000000" -> 56 MIL
"56000012" -> 56 MIL
"56120000" -> 56,12 MIL
"12345" -> 0,01 MIL

This is what I understood from the last paragraph of the OP, don't know whether it is wanted this way or not.

I understand differently.

56 MIL
56,000,012
12,345

And what about percentages? I would like to learn to format percentages (with a percent sign).

MsgBox (PartValue / TotalValue * 100) & " %"

Note that this will generate an error of TotalValue would be 0.

I was able to figure out the Billion scenario, but it can only go so far with the Long command. What would I have to use instead of "Long" to accommodate larger numbers?

MsgBox (PartValue / TotalValue * 100) & " %"

Note that this will generate an error of TotalValue would be 0.

Actually, I was thinking about reading a number from a text file and displaying it in percentage form.
