Conditional formatting: changing number format

[Almir Vargas]

I want to change the format of the number in the cell based on a condition.
It seems that this function is limited to font, border and patterns.
Any suggestion?

Indeed it is. You could try this addin,

or code like

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target

Select Case .Value

Case "Currency": .Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "£#,##0.00"
Case "Number": .Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "#,##0.00"
Case "Percent": .Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "0%"
'wtc
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Bob, thanks so much for the promptly help.
The problem is that I don't know how to use the codes, so it is difficult
for me to adapt to what I need.
So, to be more specific, I would like to have the range O7:Q29 changing to
number format 0.00% if P5 = to "Variance to Prior %" and changing number
format to 0.00 if P5 = "Variance to Prior $".

Could you help me adapting the code or finding another solution w/o using
code or addins?
thank you

I think this will do what you want

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "P5" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target

Select Case .Value

Case "Variance to Prior %":
Me.Range("Q7:Q29").NumberFormat = "0.00%"
Case "Variance to Prior $":
Me.Range("Q7:Q29").NumberFormat = "#,##0.00"
'etc.
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
