Harold, thank you for replying to your own post! It did the trick... almost.
I wanted to force the display of zeros to the right of the decimal if the amount was 1.00, so I changed the #'s to the right of the decimal in the expression you gave me to "#.00" and it worked. Thanks again!

Sorry to reply to my own post but ... Better: In the number formatting pane choose User Defined and enter [<>0]#.##;[=0]" " into the Format Code box. This is conditional formatting. It's in two parts separated by semi-colon. The first part says "#.## if the number is not zero. The second part says " " (4 spaces) if the number is zero.
