Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| XlNumberFormat | An XlNumberFormat object that specifies a cell number format. |
Remarks
Use the ShortTime24 property to obtain the XlNumberFormat object that allows you to specify a native MS Excel number format for a cell value. To apply these number format options to a cell, pass the returned XlNumberFormat object to the IXlCell.ApplyFormatting method as a parameter or assign it to the IXlCell.Formatting property.
Note that you can also use your own custom number formats as well as predefined ones. For more information, see the How to: Specify Number Format for Cell Content example.
