Formatear texto en excel

Overview

In its simplest form, the TEXT function says:

• =TEXT(Value you want to format, "Format code you want to apply")
  

Here are some popular examples, which you can copy directly into Excel to experiment with on your own. Notice the format codes within quotation marks.

Formula	Description
=TEXT(1234.567,"$#,##0.00")	Currency with a thousands separator and 2 decimals, like $1,234.57. Note that Excel rounds the value to 2 decimal places.
=TEXT(TODAY(),"MM/DD/YY")	Today’s date in MM/DD/YY format, like 03/14/12
=TEXT(TODAY(),"DDDD")	Today’s day of the week, like Monday
=TEXT(NOW(),"H:MM AM/PM")	Current time, like 1:29 PM
=TEXT(0.285,"0.0%")	Percentage, like 28.5%
=TEXT(4.34 ,"# ?/?")	Fraction, like 4 1/3
=TRIM(TEXT(0.34,"# ?/?"))	Fraction, like 1/3. Note this uses the TRIM function to remove the leading space with a decimal value.
=TEXT(12200000,"0.00E+00")	Scientific notation, like 1.22E+07
=TEXT(1234567898,"[<=9999999]###-####;(###) ###-####")	Special (Phone number), like (123) 456-7898
=TEXT(1234,"0000000")	Add leading zeros (0), like 0001234
=TEXT(123456,"##0° 00' 00''")	Custom - Latitude/Longitude

 

Note: Although you can use the TEXT function to change formatting, it’s not the only way. You can change the format without a formula by pressing CTRL+1 (or +1 on the Mac), then pick the format you want from the Format Cells > Number dialog.
