I need a macro to do a comparison between two spreadsheets, and one part of it is throwing me, as I need to compare apples to oranges. Here's the situation:
Sheet A has the data noted like this:
PAC
11000
11100
11500, etc.
All data should have 5 digits, and my numbers range from 11000 to 87028, though quite a few are skipped.
Sheet B has data like this:
PAC
110
110-CBS
11000
11100-ING
112
11500-L
How can I change sheet B to:
1) Drop off the dash and anything following?
2) Add trailing zeroes to make sure all numbers are 5 characters in length?
I'm working on a macro, where some of the action has to do with adding zeroes in front of numbers, so that every number gets the same amount of digits. 4 to be exact. This means that the number 1 is transformed to 0001. 12 -> 0012, and of course 123 will be 0123. You get the point. Every number gets 4 digits, and 0 is the filler.
I am a total newbie when it comes to these things, so my script consists of shameless cutting and pasting from other peoples works. This also means that I don't have the slightest clue of what to do when things aren't going my way.
Everything is going perfectly, except for one important thing: The macro treats numbers with decimals in a way I absolutely don't want it to. I want for example 12,3 to become 0012,3 -- but the macro insists on not changing it at all. I figured this happens because the comma (and the numbers behind it) are counted too. Therefore, a number like 12,3 already has four digits. But I want it to be 0012,3! This is making my head hurt.
My question is: Are there any way of making the program ignore the comma and all the other digits behind it? So that they are not counted. Or is there another way of dealing with this problem?
I wonder if you can help me in this question. I have a MIN function which calculates the smallest value in a list of percentages and then divides each percentage by the smallest in the list. It works fine until one of the percentages becomes zero with the resulting division-by-zero error. Do you think it is possible to make the MIN function to exclude all instances (there may be more than one zero) of zeroes from its calculation? I have attached the spreadsheet.
I am trying to figure out a way to delete the zeroes using VBA codes .
There is a spreadsheeet that contains company code, account, amount1 and amount2. If both amount1 and amount2 are zero, the VBA code will delete the entire row automatically. I am thinking of the With Range feature, but how I would determine what is the lastrow of the spreadsheet? Also how I can find the first zero and then the second zero in the same row? I vaguely recalled the find function, but can't write out the codes.
I have a series of 29 categories, each with a value to make a bar graph. The values aren't large, and a large portion of them are zeroes, I'd say on average about 3/4 have a zero as the respective value. Is there a way to make the bar graph ignore the ones that have a zero value and not put them on? Since every week these numbers can change, I would prefer if the method didn't involve some kind of sorting to get the values that aren't zeroes seperate from the rest.
When "Show a zero in cells that have zero value" is checked in "Display Options", all cells in the worksheet with zero values display "0". Can selected individual cells in such a worksheet be formatted to hide the zeroes they contain?
How do I go about having a formula which will return the number of times 0 is repeated in a column sequentially?
e.g.:
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
The idea being that after row 7 (there have been 5 consecutive zeroes), the count would reset when it hits a value greater than zero, and then count again once it hits a zero again.
I have a spreadsheet that was given to me o work on that has a field that contains an ID #. I need to import the file into Access after massaging it a little. The table that it will be imported to requires eight digits including leading zeroes. The data in the ID field of the spreadsheet I was given is displayed in the correct eight digit format, but the actual data is missing the leading zeroes so when I try to import it, I lose them. Is there a quick way to reformat that field in the spreadsheet to add the leading zeroes to the data?
Here's what the field looks like:
Displayed: Data stored as:
ID ID --------- --------- 00568695 568695 10423568 10423568 02389999 2389999 00023567 23567
**Note the numbers "00700" are always 5 digits long also note the extension is always ".doc" (4 characters long). However the other parts, AB_XYZ etc vary in length based on the worksheet.
I need to ADD or Subtract "+1" or "-1" from the 5 digit number for example make "00700, into 00701"
I currently tried to separate the data into columns which provides me with the number 00700 isolated in its own cell and then I simply add or subtract 1. In that isolated cell I am able to add "leading zeroes" and it works great.
The Problem is that when I combine the separated cell data "=A1&B &C1" with the New number (in this case 00701") the problem that I run into is the leading zeroes do not follow over to the combined cell and I am left with a final filename like this "AB_XYZ_0408_701.doc" - That is missing the leading zeroes.
Also if you have a more advanced formula that could simply add and subtract "1" from the 5 digit number that would be ideal.
How to find a tweak to my formula so as to displays blanks rather than zeroes.Here is the formula I have right now:
=OFFSET(L$3,MATCH($B110,$B$4:$B$107,0),0)
I have many rows of data in a worksheet, with the headings in Column B. At the bottom of the worksheet (beginning in row 110), I created a dropdown menu (Validation->List) to select which rows of data from above to be displayed. I simply want to re-display the chosen rows exactly as they are above. But using this offset formula, all the blanks from above become zeroes.
I need Excel to create Date's of Birth from following data in column A. If the data are 7 numbers long, I need to add a '0' to the start and have used the custom format of 0#######. This works fine but I need the data in column B to just display the first 4 digits. I have used =LEFT(A1,4) to do this, but it's not picking up the 0's which I've added.
I've read various "solutions" to my request but it's Greek to me. Simply stated I occasionally have to create worksheets that involve dollars and cents. My question is how can I get Excel to stop dropping the zero if its the last digit to the right of the decimal point? $42.30 becomes $42.3, etc.
I've looked through the preferences/options and can find nothing to rectify this. Any way to do this so that keeping the zero becomes the default for any tables, lists, etc that I create in the future?
1) Format the cell as Text: Format->Cells->Text 2) Enter the zip code with a ' preceding the number, i.e. enter 00345 as '00345 3) Enter the zip code with the formula ="00345" ...
I'd like to calculate the standard deviation and mean of a whole load of data. Unfortunately it has some errors, FALSE values, blank cells and zeroes I'd like to exclude. Calculating the average is no problem as the AVERAGEIF function works fine, but there is no equivalent for STDEV. The (array) formula
STDEV(IFERROR(E29:E32,FALSE))
ignores the cells with errors and calculates the SD, and the (array) formula
STDEV(IF(E29:E32>0,E29:E32,FALSE))
ignores the cells with a value of 0 in them and calculates SD.
see the attached. The array formulas in B2:C3 are operating on the table in E2:F5. These are quite simple formulas as you'll see.
The formula in B3 is identical to that in B2 apart from the fact that the first array is wrapped in an IFERROR (there are actually no errors in the array, but that's not the point).
As you can see, the formula in B2 evaluates E3 as ="", and so the corresponding entry in F3 is ignored in the sum. Quite normal.
However, the identical formula, but with an IFERROR first acting on Array1 now evaluates the same cell as <>"", and so F3 is this time included in the sum.
What action has the IFERROR had on this array? Clearly, E3 is not an error, so a "blank" should still be passed, unchanged, to the function.
I have included identical versions of the formulas, but with Named Ranges replacing the actual range references. The reason is that, with these versions, if you step through the formulas with Evaluate Formula, for example with the formula in C2, you can see that Excel "temporarily interprets" the blank in E3 as a zero (this is nothing new, though I've never fully understood why it can't display a "" here as well) before then equating this "zero" as being a "blank".
Perhaps somehow, after being passed to the IFERROR, this "zero" is processed so that, when passed on, even though it still “displays” as a zero, for some reason it is no longer considered equivalent to "".
I have a column of data that is given to me that is a mix of letters and numbers and I need the numbers to have leading zeros, they must all be three digits. The data has either 3, 4, or 5 letters followed by numbers 1 through 999. Example: ABCD7 I need to change it to ABCD007. I am using Excel 2004 for the Mac.
how to set the format of a cell such that it will automatically add trailing blanks to the data entered into that cell while fixing the number of characters that could be entered into that cell?
I have a column of data in which each cell contains a line of text. Each line of text has spaces after the letters end and there doesn't seem to be a consistent number of trailing spaces.
I can clean up the data using the TRIM function but is it possible to use the TEXT TO COLUMNS functionality?
I would like to use the following code to produce a message with two numbers in it, both showing an exact golf handicap to one decimal point. If a number is exactly 6 I want it to show as 6.0.
All works well for the number I'm collecting from the user and storing in newh. But I can't retain/produce the trailing zero from oldh which is formatted in the spreadsheet as Custom 0.0.
I have a set of data with trailing Y in certain cells.
Instead of the replace function in Excel, is there another way of removing the "Y" in that cell and storing it another cell while keeping the numbers before the Y.
i've created another column to determine which cells has Y as the right most character by using =IF(RIGHT(F2,1)="Y","Y","")
So for example, I want to remove the Y from say Cell A2 and store it in say cell A3 while still keeping the value 8624.46 in A2
I have an excel file with two sheets . One containing the updated prices with its code ( Sheet1) and the other containing the old prices with the same codes (sheet2). Now after several trials to copy the new prices from sheet 1 to sheet 2 with check if the code is same . ( I couldn't )
So how to get rid of the 20 spaces from Sheet1 column A.
I have written a function which works in the same way as the concatenate formula but where required it uses an underscore to make up the length (14 Characters) of the result. I seem however to have hit a minor snag when users input trailing spaces. I thought I could use trim to eliminate them but it doesnt seem to be working
Function HypCon(CorpAcct, Subdiv)
Dim n, i, iLen, iLen2 As Integer Dim sCorpAcct, sSubdiv As String Dim iLen3, iLen4 As Integer iLen = Len(Trim(CorpAcct)) iLen2 = 7 iLen3 = Len(Trim(Subdiv)) iLen4 = 5..............
I have a list (general ledger) GL codes with trailing commas
Example: 123456789,123456722,123789456,,,,,
When I try to use replace and replace the multiple commas with nothing it turns my gl codes into a scientific number (1.23456789123456E+26), but my cell is formatted to text.
The other problem is for numbers with a single trailing comma, it would also remove the commas between the GL codes
Is there a function that removes trailing commas, or commas that are not followed by numbers?
