Very interesting discussion. Many thanks to all for deeper insight! Here is a link for Excel cell formatting:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/264372/how-to-control-and-understand-settings-in-the-format-cells-dialog-box-in-excel Millions of users know this formatting style. Why reinvent the wheel? Numberformat could eventually be enhanced to this direction... I still also wished to see it as a property-set of fields, but built in, not "just" as a custom property. Dreaming...). It is a simple user wish, not a recipe about how to do it. I understand that it is difficult to do.
