Pasting Some Data - Automatically Turns It Into A Date
Oct 20, 2013I'm trying to keep some basketball stats, and from ESPN the field goals are reported as 10-16, or 5-14, to indicate how many field goals were made out of attempts.
When I paste this into Excel it automatically interprets it as a date. So 10-16 turns into Oct-16, and 5-14 turns into May-14. How do I stop this?
Ignore the screenshot!

Turns Numbers Into Dates
Aug 1, 2013When I write out ranges in cells like:
1-10
10-20
20-30
30-40
Etc.
Excel turn some of these ranges into dates such as 01-Oct, which is extremely annoying. But trying to change to different date formats but it still keep it to dates. what I can do?
Pasting Fraction Turns Into Date
Feb 3, 2008I am trying to paste in a decimal equivalent chart, loacted here:
http://www.advancedtool.com/prod02111.asp
which basically has a mixture of whole numbers and fractions, and how they equate in decimals.
When I paste this in, all the fractions turn into dates. So for instance 1/64 turns into Jan/64, and 1/32 is Jan/32. Now, I could go in and change each one, but I would like to know how to do this with cell format on the entire sheet....
I have tried to change the cell formats to "general" or "text" and of course fraction, but in this case, I have to go in and do each fraction cell individually. Now maybe I am being too lazy, and in the time it took me to look up my login information, and type this out, I likely could have re-done the worksheet, each cell individually, but I would like to know the way to fix this automatically.
Longer Text Entry Turns Into ####..
Nov 26, 2008I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.
TextBox Turns Into Rectangle When Using AvtiveSheet Shapes
Apr 6, 2014I have put together a simple example of my problem. There is two buttons and one text-box "TextBox 1". When I use the following code:
[Code] .........
I get one button to hide the textbox and the other to show it. Initially the textbox has the textbox properties (you can type in it) but when I hide it and show it again using the two buttons the textbox becomes like a rectangle shape which I can not type in and can only click.
How do I hide and show the text box whilst keeping it as a text box?

Formula Turns Cell To Text Format
May 7, 2007I have a workbook with two worksheets. I added a formula to the first worksheet
= COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K"). It works fine when I add another COUNTIF that references another column (baseball fans may realize I'm counting total strikeouts for a batter): =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K") However, when I try to expand this to cover more columns, =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!P3,"K")
Excel automatically changes the format of this cell to "Text" and it shows the formula as text instead of calculating it. What could be wrong here? Excel's documentation is woefully inadequate for cases like this. Is there an undocumented limit on how many times I can add COUNTIFs together?
Macro Code With ScreenUpdating Off Turns Back On
Aug 8, 2008A little context:
Searching this forum for "sleep", "delay" or "animation" will bring up a host of threads referring to the kernel32 function, sleep. This is a great way of putting small delays into code without the potential "synchronisation" problems of application .ontime calls or the "ugliness" of multiple-thousands looping.
My question:
When I call sleep (with values in the hundreds of milliseconds) several times in a macro, it seems like the computer just "gives up" screen updating after a few (maybe 50) iterations. The macro still takes the time I'd expect, accounting for all the sleeps, but it stops showing the intermediate steps and just shows the end result after the macro ends.
Is this something to do with RAM? Is there something about calling this command too much or too frequently that kernel32 doesn't like? Is my computer a useless bag of nails and spit?
Conditional Formatting Turns The Cell Background Green With 03
Aug 27, 2009In a column in my spreadsheet i have to input a number; either: 51-61 and next to it is either m or o. so in Column A row 1 : 51m, Column A row 2 60m, etc Example:
51m
51o
55o
60m
I want to conditionally format this such that for 51 it turns the cell background green, for 52 red, 53 orange,etc. with a number having a specific color associated with it. 03' does not have a text choice.
Finding The Maximum Number Before A List Turns Negative
May 21, 2009i have the volume of a reservoir in column A for lets say, 2 years, with monthly data (so 24 numbers in my list)
I also have some variables that feed into this list such as rainfall (fixed), and population (i.e water use, which i can manually change)
if i increase the population too much, the volume of the reservoir will at certain times of the year, fall into negative digits.
what i'm looking for, is a cell which works out the maximum value (in whole numbers) for my population, without any of the numbers in the reservoir volume list falling below zero.
2000 - Autofilter, The Drop-down Arrow Turns Blue In Color
Feb 10, 2010When using the autofilter, the drop-down arrow turns blue in color, i.e., when some filter citerion is being used, the small down-arrow turns a different color as a way of informing the user that a filter is in place. Is there a way to control the color of this? Currently, mine turns blue, but it would be more useful if I could change it to a brilliant color in order to make it contrast more with the default black. Blue is too difficult to be distinguished by my eyes. The autofilter is turned on via a macro. If there a line of code that controls the color.

Copy Automatically Something From One Doc To Another?
Apr 1, 2014I have a worksheet in which i have many sheets(around 150). Each sheet is allocated for a measurement device and has values at least once per day. What i want to do in another Excel worksheet is to take, automatically, the highest value and the medium from each separate measuring device. Now here is the catch: each device has at least one sheet for it`s values. The good thing is that a sheet will only contain measurements from one device.

Automatically Sorting
Nov 23, 2009I have information in columns A (First name),B (Last name), C (Misc), D (misc). Is there a way that someone can enter in new information at the bottom of the list and it will automatically sort by the last name once saved or closed ect.. ? I have people not very familiar with Excel and the keep messing up inserting rows and I don't want them to sort. If they could just enter information at the bottom and save it, then when someone opens it to just view it, it will be in order.

Oct 21, 2013I make hundreds of ads on a daily basis, and to automate the process if possible.
I have attached an example where I'm trying to make the following:
I have an ad and a link:
A1= Nice cars "London"
B2= www.com/"111"
I have a list of hundreds of cities (as the example above "London") and their page number ( as the example above "111"), and I want to be able to paste the cities&page number (in different rows) in a second sheet. Where the value of "city" and the "page number" would be placed in the ad and the pagelink in a new row in the first sheet.
In the Excel file that I have attached you can see in sheet 1&2 "exemple - 1A/1B" as a simple ad and pagelink, in sheet 3&4 you can see "example - 2A/2B" an example of how the output should look like.

New Tab Within Excel Automatically?
Oct 9, 2013Is it possible that excel can copy a template tab and create a new tab automatically when requested?
I am trying to create a spread sheet to log all spends within the department but need to be able to generate a front sheet for each purchase order request. I have attached the spread sheet and have highlighted what I am trying to create.
I have never used visual basics so am completely in the dark, can excel do this sort of thing?
How To Automatically Add Row If Last Row Is Filled
Jun 2, 2014I'm trying to build a invoice template for my business. Trying to make it as simple to use as possible for my staff to input the data. Currently they will manually type in everything but later on I would like to make the spreadsheet have available drop down boxes for the equipment and it will auto fill the hourly rate in.
Right now my main issue is I have the invoice template the way I would like it, but there are only 5 rows in each category. I would like for it to, once the last row in each category is filled, make a new blank row with the exact formatting of the one above it. Then continue to make blank rows if that subsequent row is filled in as well.
Basically, to better describe what I'm looking for, say I have 15 employees on the job and 10 pieces of equipment. I currently only have 5 rows in each category and would like them to expand out automatically without doing a copy rowinsert. It doesn't matter if the page expands to multiple printable pages as long as it doesn't get jarbled in the process.
I am very new to Excel and not even sure if this is possible. I would also need this to carry on with the .xlsm file so that my other employees can use this invoice template on their laptops.
I attached the invoice template I created so what I'm describing can be better understood.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutomatically Insert Row
Nov 5, 2009problem with Excel and I have no idea how to solve it. Hmm, how do I explain this? Someone is giving me data pulled from a server in an Excel format. I have a column that has a series of entries.
For example:
Blank
Entry 1
Entry 2
Entry 3
Entry 4
Entry 5
However, sometimes there's an entry or two missing. So it'll look like this:
Blank
Entry 1
Entry 2
Entry 4
Entry 5
Is there anyway to tell Excel to say "Hey there's an entry missing here," and have it insert a row with the missing entry value? I do not work in Excel ever but people around here do, in case someone has some advice. I already asked the guy if he could just server me the data formatted correctly, and -- of course -- he can't/won't.
