Assigning Text Numerical Values
Jul 9, 2006Is it possible once you have assigned text a numerical value (example: Adam = 12) to add them together? (example: adam =12 and bob = 8, therefore adam + bob = 20)
Assigning Numerical Values To Words
Mar 9, 2013I'm making a spreadsheet for the homes I'm looking at purchasing and wanted a way to calculate automatically which one has the most things we're looking for.
So for example, if a home has a walk in closet, it would say "yes". If it doesn't it obviously would say "no".
Is there a way to assign a number value in a totals column where "yes"=1 and "no"=2?
Or a way to make colors equal a certain value?
Where I'd make all the "yes" items green and then a green cell = 1, a yellow cell = 2, and a red cell = 3.
Excel 2002 :: Modify Formula To Merge Numerical With Text
Apr 21, 2012I am using the following formula to find out the No. of "HH" in the range given and I am getting the results simply with numerical value as 2, 3 etc. I want the result should be displayed as 2HH, 3HH depending upon the No. of "HH" available in the given range. The result should be displayed as (the No. added with the text "HH").
=IF(AND(DJ10="HH"),COUNTIF(DF10:DJ10,"HH"),"-")
I use excel 2002.
Assigning A 0 Value To Text
Oct 6, 2008I've been doing a very simple table for my father's bass club. The club has one tournament a month and the 2 lowest weights are dropped. The table has a column of names on the left hand side, beside the name is 12 columns for one weight per month, right of that is a sum of the fisherman's catch weight in column O and to the far right is an equation that removes the 2 lowest weights =O4-(SMALL(C4:N4,1)+SMALL(C4:N4,2))
In the past I have put a 0 if someone didn't fish. He has asked me if it's possible to put DNF for Did Not Fish in lieu of a 0. This way they have that information and know how many people fished and caught nothing versus how many didn't fish. I need to know how to assign DNF a value of 0 for the whole table so that I can still drop the 2 lowest weights
Returning A Numerical Value From Text
Oct 25, 2013I'm trying to streamline my spreadsheet a bit. Sometime last year I managed to use the formula found (on the attached file) in cell K4 to assign a numerical value to a lettered grade. However, it's been a year or so since I thought about it and so I've completely forgotten how to edit it to make it more appropriate for this spreadsheet!
Essentially what I'm trying to do is a workaround for what I've already done in columns E and F: I'm trying to show the difference between two grades (letters) as a numerical value. Is there a way to do this, or is the VLOOKUP work around I've used in columns E and F going to be the simplest way?
Text In A Cell To A Numerical Value
Jan 20, 2009Basically what I am trying to do is build a formula but I have hit a wall it seems like.
what I want to do to complete the formula is, I have 2 names in mind that I want to be able to enter one cell and have excel translate them into a number. So for example if I enter the name John in that cell excel will know that John means the number 3 and then tomorrow I erase John from that cell and enter Jim and excel will know that Jim means the number 2.
But again I want to be able to enter a certain body of txt into one cell and have excel recognize it as a number. How can this be done?
I have Excel 2003 and 2007

Oct 13, 2008I have a monster of a sheet going and am working for research purposes. I dislike the interface of SPSS so I use excel to boil down my variables to a smaller state, to which it then goes back to SPSS for the hardcore analysis. Unfortunately, this study has values of "N/A", "Missing", and "." (not entered), so it makes it a bit tricky for me. Say I want to check 10 different scales to see if any are true: =IF(OR(FJ6>=1,ZD6>=1,....etc),"Yes","No"))
Problem is the blasted program is reading ".", "Missing", and "N/A" as greater than one!!!!! I've found a way around by making monster formulas that first check that the field is not equal to those three text values, but there must be a faster way! To see what I mean, put a period in one cell (like A1) and write =IF(A1>=1,"Yes","No") and you'll see it returns a Yes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDisplaying Months From Cells As Their Text (not Numerical)
Oct 14, 2009The 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 ?
Find Numerical Difference Between Text Values
Nov 21, 2008Hi all, first post here.
I've been asked to do something in excel i can't seem to get my head around.
My client provides me with data in the form
1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3c etc... where 1a is the lowest.
I need to find a way of working out the difference between these, e.g.
edit: 2a - 1c = 5
I've been working on it and have made some headway by splitting these with MID function and then using CODE to try and work out a unique ID for each, but i can't help feeling there's an easier way!

Jan 31, 2010I am working up a workbook template that will be used to process survey results. The way I ultimatley want it to work is that the user can paste data from another application into a worksheet in Excel, and then view analysed results on a second sheet (which are processed via formulae on a third, hidden sheet).
The problem I have is this: the data from the program that's capturing them are text values. For example, column B contains answers to a question where participants rate an experience, and the values are either "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor", "Awful". I want these to be converted to numerical values, on a scale where "Excellent" = 5 and "Awful" = 1, so that I can then average these.
So, the question is: Can I somehow tell Excel that "Excellent" = 5 and "Good" = 4 etc, and then use AVERAGE(B:B) on the text data and get a number back?
I did think of having an intermediate sheet that used VLOOKUP to create a copy of the first sheet (where the user pastes the text data) with the text replaced by numbers. But, because I don't know in advance how many rows will contain data (i.e. how many survey results there will be), I have to assume on the high side and copy down 50,000 rows. But, this takes ages to calculate.

****The aggregate derived from the grade of the subjects , where each grade will be given a pointer and the average pointer for all four subjects will be considered as aggregate :
Pointers for grades
A =1
B=2
C=3

This is how the aggregate for Alex should be counted:
English A = 1
Maths C = 3
Science B = 2
History A = 1
*****aggregate = (1+3+2+1)/4 =1.75
The result column be showing Pass/Fail. If the student fail one of the four subjects he is considered as Fail.
**Grade D and E =>Fail
The Achievement Column should be indicating the numbers of As, Bs and Cs
for example: O6= A(2),B(1),C(1)
Comparing Grades (text) To Give A Numerical Score
Nov 3, 2009I am creating for the pupils at my school. Comparing the grades they were predicted and have achieved I would like to give them a score.
I have already achieved this but it means wasting 3 columns for each subject to work it out. The ambition is to do all the working out and assign a point score value in 1 column.
The spreadsheet it attached if anyone would be kind enough to have a look and see if there may be a formula which will do what I need.
Excel 2010 :: Assigning Name To Range Received By ODBC Query
Apr 29, 2014I have been working on some ODBC queries in Excel 2010.
First, I recorded them using Excel's Record Macro function, to get an idea of what sort of source data I would need. Then, I rewrote them into something a little more intelligible.
Pulling out all the sensitive info, I want to know how to add the .ListObject.DisplayName property back onto the results of the query. I tried doing it intuitively, but it didn't work. It was in there when I recorded the macro, but I can't seem to figure out where to put it back into the re-written code. Other parts of the code depend on the results of the query being a 'named field'.

Also, where would I find out what all that stuff in Cnnect means? DBA, APA, EXC, FEN, etc are all just assignments, and I might like to change some to make this run a bit quicker, if I knew what they meant.

Data Validation Formula For Set Of Numerical And Text Based Values
Apr 30, 2014I am quite inexperienced with Excel and I am struggling to understand how should I set up a formula, within the data validation function to achieve the following:
I need to restrict a certain set of cells, for people to be able to input only the following values: "1", "0.5", "A", "H", "0.5A" (or 0.5a), "0.5H" (or 0.5h)

Excel Automatically Pull Numerical Values From Websites?
Nov 27, 2013I want to pull 'values' from a website off into column's "A" "B" and "C."
What I am looking for is:
Column A: The current date!
Column B: The closing VIX value of the day!
Column C: The 10-day-moving average value of the VIX for that same day!
All values come from this website: [URL].......
(full link so it doesn't look sketchy; also a link to mainwebsite: [URL] ..... )
What would be the formula for this? Or how would one go about this? And preferably the time to pull these values would be at alterable, but ideal time is hard to choose right now... Need to think about it!!!

Excel 2011 :: Assigning Time Zones To List Of Area Codes?
Feb 5, 2014I call prospects to generate business. I want to respect their time by calling before 8:00 PM so I need to know their time zone. I have a column in Excel that lists their area code, but I don't know their state.
I have tried everything imaginable to duplicate the results of the previous post to no avail. I'm using Excel 2011 on a Mac.
I'm using =VLOOKUP(B2,$I$2:$J$364,10) for my formula, where
B2 is the area code $I$2:$J$364 is the range where the area code/time zone data lives (I = area codes, J = Time Zone) 10 is column J, i.e. the Time Zone column that "feeds" the answer.
I've attached a screen shot to show what I'm doing.Screenshot at Feb 05 15-33-01.jpg
Excel 2007 :: Dragging And Inputting Cells Into Numerical Order
Mar 25, 2014Excel 2007. At the bottom of a column of data I'm trying to reference the cell $AG4. There are 340 total columns. Each additional column to the right needs to reference the next cell in column AG. So I'm trying to drag and copy horizontally from $AG4 to $AG340. When I try just the single column it just copies $AG4 into everything to the right. When I have to columns ($AG4 and $AG5) and grab both to try to copy horizontally the numbers increasing it just does $AG4, $AG5, $AG4, $AG5, etc.

Excel 2010 :: Delete Cell Contents If Cell Contains Numerical Value?
Oct 8, 2013Recently I have been practising writing my own macros in VBA. I am using Excel 2010.
I have been trying to write a macro to look at two columns in a worksheet (say, columns D and E) and to delete the contents (not the formatting, and I don't want to delete the cell itself) of that cell only if it contains a numerical value (e.g. 1, 2, 256 or any other number). If it finds a cell with letters, then it wouldn't delete the contents of the cell. The cells are currently formatted as "currency" cells.
I have been trying all sorts of things and I just can't get it to work. I can write a macro to clear a range easy enough, but I am stuck on getting it to delete the right stuff. I won't embarrass myself by uploading the code that I have been using..
