Adding Zeroes Without Formatting
Dec 16, 2009
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 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 am using conditional formatting to make cell background's go red if the data satisfys some criteria
Now I want to add the values in those red cells, can anyone make a suggestion as to how I can do this.

I am trying to fix the headers of this table. Basically, I want to:
*Copy the information that is below (dates) the "Principal header" (Sales Units, M's, Currency) +
*Adding that info to the principal header without overwritting the original informaton. Ex: Sales Units Jan 13 - Jan 13, Sales M's Jan 13- Jan 13 etc..

I have only recently started playing around with macros, and am slowly getting into them. I do however still struggle a bit to ‘read’ them. Having played with formulas for years I can generally translate a string of formula text into English, like ‘if this cell value is greater than that cell value, then do this, if it is not then if it is equal to that cell value, do that, if not return 0’. Babbling like a child basically.
With visual basic I have managed to record some handy macros and then tweak them a little manually but I am still struggling to follow it going through it step by step reading it like a formula. So I hope you won’t mind me asking some very stupid questions. I mean well; I’m just a bit slow.
At present I am trying to do two different things on two different sheets, and I was wondering if perhaps one of you could nudge me in the right direction.
1:
I am trying to insert a blank row above every row that has a certain word in column B.
So basically ‘find value “Example” in column B, and when you find it, insert an entirely blank row directly above it’.
2:
Is a bit more challenging. I want to change the colour of a cell if the value in the cell corresponds with the value of another cell in the same column.
For example, I have a long list of surnames in column A. When I add ‘McNeil’ at the bottom, I would like to be able to run a macro that checks if the name McNeil appears anywhere else in column A, and if it does, that it changes the colour of the cell.
Preferably both of the cells that say McNeil, but one would do very nicely indeed.
If that is possible, I wonder if it is possible to do the same with the first name in column B, but only if there was a match for the surname in column A on the same row. So, if McNeil does not appear in column A, don’t bother, but if it does, does the corresponding first name appear in column B?
If both of that is possible, the next step would obviously be if McNeil appears in column A (say twice, once in A123 and once in A678), do cells B123 and B678 match as well?

I have a conditional formula that highlights dates red when it meets a certain criteria. The file named MS Working, the conditional formatting formula (formula below) works as it should with no issues. The other file MS NOT Working, the conditional formatting formula (formula below) has stopped working as it should. What I did? I inserted a new column to the left. Where the MS Working file has only 1 column to the far left, the MS NOT Working file now has 2 columns to the far left.
It seems as if the formula adjusted itself when I inserted the new column; however, its not working.
MS Working
Conditional Formula: =AND(TODAY()>B3,NOT(ISODD(COLUMN())),B3<>"",OR(C3="",C3=0),B3<>0)
MS NOT Working
Conditional Formula: =AND(TODAY()>C3,NOT(ISODD(COLUMN())),C3<>"",OR(D3="",D3=0),C3<>0)

How you can find the min with simpler ranges, but my equation doesn't work with what I've found so far. I want to skip the zeroes and blanks.
=IF(AC44>0,(MIN((FS13+FL13),(FS18+FL18),(FS23+FL23),(FS28+FL28),(FS$417+FL$417),
(FS$422+FL$422),(FS$427+FL$427),(FS$432+FL$432))) ,)

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.
correct cacluation
130,00%1,20
225,00%1,00
325,00%1,00
445,00%1,80
messy calculation
10,00%#DIV/0!
225,00%#DIV/0!
325,00%#DIV/0!
445,00%#DIV/0!

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.
Output for the example above should be 3.

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

I currently have a column with each cell containing alphanumeric data of a filename.
The majority of cell data looks something like this.
"AB_XYZ_0408_00700.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_00708.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_02200.doc" etc
**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 am importing an existing HTML table into excel, using the Data > Import Extrenal Data > HTML Query.
The data table is being imported correctly, however, the first column is a set of claim numbers (alpha-numeric).
Excel is stripping away the leading zeroes.
e.g. Claim numbers are of the form:
Actual: 000005847161 Excel Conversion: 5847161
Actual: 020000008760WC01163 Excel Conversion: 020000008760WC01163
The second one (which is alphanumeric) is being treated correctly, the first one is not.
The purely numerical claim numbers can of variable length to each other e.g. one could be 15 digits, another could be 12 for example.
Is there any way to preserve the original values including to have the claim numbers being imported as their EXACT values?

I'm using Conditional Formatting for an entire column to check the value of each cell and compare it to the value of a cell in the same row but a different column. (Cell Value equals =$D2) It works great until I insert or delete a cell in the formatted column. The reference does not change as one would expect. I've played around with formulae such as =$D2<>$P2 but the reference only changes for the P2, not the D2. I've also tried using =CELL("contents", ADDRESS(Row(),4)) but this causes excel to complain.

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?

Couple ways:
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.
How can I combine the two into one formula?

I am trying to get the average of the last 6 data entries not including blanks or zeroes.
Currently I have:
{=AVERAGE(INDEX(C2:CP2,LARGE(IF(C2:CP2<>"",COLUMN(C2:CP2)-COLUMN(C2)+1),6)):CP2)}
Which works fine when I've got 6 or more values in the row.
But if there are less that 6 values in the row it returns with #NUM!. Is there a way to add an IF ERROR THEN make = to AVERAGE of C2:CP2?

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'm using Excel 2007. I would prefer to stay away from the scripting side of the house if possible. This is basically a 3 day forcast weather chart. The top is the actual weather data, the bottom portion is a color coded reflection of how the weather affects various things.
This product is created in excel, but will be embedded into a powerpoint. It will be updated daily. Here is what I would like. I want the color chart at the bottom to update automatically based on the data I enter above. I have a grasp that I can update the color through conditional formatting, although im not exactly sure what that will look like with all of those cells.
I also figured out that I can insert the letters in those lower cells with something similar to " =IF(C6>90, "T", "") " which would put in a 'T' for Temperature when the temperature got above a certain degree.
I run into a problem when I have multiple factors affecting a single cell. For instance on the example in day 2 of my image. Personnel are affected by Temperate AND UV Index. How would I set up that cell to pull that information from both of those cells and display it accordingly? I would prefer the letters to stay separated by the comma, but I could live without that. The default cell color will be green, with the potential to be yellow or red. I left a few examples of possible situations on day 2 and 3.

1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0
I need to count the number of "isolated" zeroes in this range of data. In this example the answer would be "3". What is the best way to approach this?

I need a formula (VBA) to add them up (to add their actual numeric values - not just a "1" if they contain a number) and ignore them all together if they contain string values.

OutSH.Cells(nextrow2, 1).Value = Surname.Value
OutSH.cells(nextrow2,2).value = ID.value
OutSH.cells(nextrow2,3).value = Date.value

I need to ensure that duplicate entries are not made for the same person on the same date. The ID is unique to each person.
IF statement that can check for a duplicate and then come up with a dialouge box with some custom text, and then exiting the sub?
