how to format a complex number

[michel74]

When using the complex function, the default format has many decimal places,
both for real and imaginary parts. I would like to change this and I don't
know how to do it.

I am assuming that your real and imaginary numbers are coming from other
calculations?

You could always try rounding inside the function itself:

=COMPLEX(ROUND(RealNo,2),ROUND(ImagNo,2),'j")

for example.
