Applying and Implementing Formats

Once the custom format is saved, the individual formats are applied in the order they are entered. Please note that the order can impact the results.
For example, if entering the Number 0-filled and Round to Nearest Whole Number formats with Number 0-filled applied first, the leading zeroes will be removed when Round to Nearest Whole Number is applied.
