That sounds like a lot more work than my two lines.
Yep. So it my offset routine.
Any routine that coerces the number to text, processes the text and coerces it back to a number is going to be pretty darn slow relative to manipulating the number as a number.
If you're only doing it every now and then, it's probably not a problem. If you're doing it a lot, streamline it.
