1. What is the maximum characters an Excel cell can take?
I try to import a very large text string into an Excel cell. I notice that
it's truncated to a certain maximum length.
When I set the cell type to be TEXT it displays #########################
But when I set cell type to GENERAL then it displays ok.
I just did a Len() on my text cell and it appears the maximum characters
allowed is 330. Is it possible to extend this?
I was looking to have a Word for example 'Apple' but want it as a number e.g '10'. I want to use it so that I can add up the prices of items by just clicking on the name of the item. So If I want to add up 3 items e.g. an apple , a banana and a pear which all cost £10 each I want to be able to click all three items and get the total of £30 displayed in a certain box.

=IF(B12="","",IF(B12<2,-1,INT(B12/5)))
What I want to do is if cell B3 equals a text value of the word "All" then cell B12 would display nothing. If B3 equals any other value then the math formula above be used.
I think I'm getting a grasp of the userform thingie, however, thins one will not work:

I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as a database (mostly text based), so that in columns 1 and 2 are names and in column 3 is notes. I'm keeping all the columns single height (ie: not wrapping text). Where there is nothing in column 4 onwards, the text from column 3 displays across the subsequent blank fields.

1- I need to add a carriage return after loading each short line of text. [code] Module1.COMTXT = Module1.COMTXT + Sheets(3). Cells(Module1.COMCODE, 1)
[?CODE]I have try'd [& vbCrLf &] in many syntax's to no avail.
2- When displaying COMTXT to a sheet, its too big for the cell ! and not able to enlarge the cell without major disortion to rest of sheet. How do I acheive this and allow the text to display like a textbox or label, covering many cells and rows.
I'm having to re-learn formula commands in order to continue to use my spreadsheets (I had tried to get the Quattro Pro converter to work in Excel 2003 with no success). Actually, I would have stayed with QP since I find it much more user friendly, but with Excel being the standard spreadsheet that most people use, I figured I better get used to it. Anyway, I'm currently trying to find out how I might get the same text that shows up in varying cells in an otherwise blank column (other cells contain formulas, but no text) to also show up in another fixed cell (which can be where I put this formula).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to display watermark text in a cell based on the value of another cell. For example:
If in Column B, cell B2 states "Mileage", Column C, cell C2 needs to say "Please enter Start and Destination...". I want column C (cell C2) to be my input cell as well hence the reason i'm avoiding the use of an IF formula.
I'm open to a VBA solution if this works? Tried conditional formatting however it will only display colours, not text?
The formula contained within these cells equals =MONTH(C84) [the date 2 cells above it]... to which I've formatted the cell to "mmmm" and it displays "January" across the board. Can anyone explain why this is occuring and how I can fix it please? I'm aiming to graph this information and can't accurately do it using the moving monthly system i've put in place if I can't change the months dynamically like this.
Secondly, and on a side note. Line 84 currently takes todays date (not currently todays date in the example screenshot) (=TODAY()), and to get to the previous 13 months I deduct 31 days. I can foresee this as being a problem further down the track especially when leap years come into play. Is there a function in Excel where I can simply deduct 1 month from another? =MONTH(C84)-1 ?
The basic spreadsheet consists of a list of names down the left hand side with 19 columns across - one for each art activity (I have pasted a copy of it below - but it doesn't paste so good!). Each person has selected their three activities and this has been recorded by placing a 1, 2 or 3 in the relative columns. Each person has been told that they will get a place on two out of three of their chosen activities (in which case we will change one of their choices to a 0).
What I would now like to be able to do is to create a mail merge in Word which looks at each person and then goes along that row to find out which columns have a 1, 2, or 3 in it. The heading for that column would then be used as a merge field so that I end up with a word document which looks something like this:
{Woodwork Stars} and {Cooking Sweets}

I have a Cell and the Formula for my Cell is the Following:

Is It Possible to use VBA Coding to Display An Image (Object),
And Un-Display or Remove that Same Image (Object) using a VBA Code?
Example:
I have a Mailbox Picture that I would Like to Show, but only when a cell's
value = 5. If the Cell's Value is not 5, then don't display the mailbox.
I need to display all text after first comma in a cell in another cell. For example
Text in A1 = 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. I need to display in B1 all the text after the first comma which would be = 1.2, 1.3
I have tried different formula involving with decimal places.
If A1 has a whole number like 5141234 then the result would come out as a whole number =(A1-5148000)*1.000440935+48000
If A1 has three decimal places like 5142356.654 then the result would out as three decimal places

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an XML file which I can open in Excel as an XML table. When I try to insert a chart from any of the data, a chart appears but the data appears as the legend but not as any lines on the chart. The column headings, which would normally appear as the legend, do not appear. The chart itself is blank. Does anyone have any ideas of a way to solve this?

Then when a value is entered in manually into C8, it will then update and put the value of D8 into F6. The idea is an individual will enter a value each week, updating that value. I intend to hide column D.

I have an excel sheet which contains details of quantities supplied of a particular party by an agent! It ranges from a period of April to March In Some places the agent has supplied a party's material only from april to december and jan,feb , march is supplied by a different agent for the same party.
I want to create a report which is as follows: When i choose an agents name, It should show me all the parties to which he has supplied the material and all the months from april to march. If he has not supplied in a particular month then show zero. Same should be for all the agents.
I need to create this report and i was trying with pivot tables but that didnt work!
I guess it can be done using vba code!

I'm looking for a better/faster way to display the entirety of an array (dimensions like 10 by 10, mixes of strings and integers), besides assigning all of the values to cells in a worksheet. A pop-up window or form would be stellar, but I don't know how to work with forms so well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two columns in my spreadsheet, and both are dates. Using a calculation (one date minus the other) I get the duration (in days) between the two.
I also apply color coding to say if the duration is > X, then color code as red, etc.
All the color coding is working fine for values that are either > or < 0, but anything where the two dates are the same (date 1 - date 2 = 0), the value shows as blank.
When I click on the cell, the value "0" is actually IN the cell, but it's now showing, as if the font was colored white or something, but it hasn't.
I don't have anything in the code telling the worksheet not to display "0" values, so I don't know where to go...
I have a bunch of cells that are only displaying ########## (they contain strings of text, and the actual text can be seen in the formula bar).
