I am trying to make a column of names appear in upper case (the first letter). I know about Upper(). I cant put that formula in this column because the names are typed there, (it would erase formula). How can I do this as well as have them alphabetically ordered?
Is there a way to format some particular colums so that when i enter my data into the cells i do not have to keep changing the caps lock to uppercase or pressing shift key which slow down my typing as i am not very fast typer.
I am pasting output from SAS into a spreadsheet. The data I am pasting cannot be put into columns beforehand. When I do text-to-columns, the data are auto-formatted. This is how it looks before text-to-columns:
159 xx Char 2 2. $2. xx
This is how it is auto-formatted:
159xxChar22$2.00 xx
The loss of the period [2 to 2.] and the addition of zeros [$2. to $2.00] is a disaster because it makes my SAS code non-functional. Is there anyway to stop auto-formatting in text-to-columns? Is there a more user-friendly software besides Excel that would be better to use?
I currently have a macro setup that puts Auto-Sum data in the row below the bottom-most row of data. What code would I need to format this Auto-Sum row with the following parameters automatically...
1. Merge & center F & G in the Auto-Sum row with the text "Totals". 2. Change the row height of the Auto-Sum row to 44 pixels. 3. Center the vertical alignment of the Auto-Sum row. 4. Put the thickest border around the Auto-Sum row in cells A-K.
I am having trouble with using the auto filter, and I suspect it is due to my data format.
I am importing data from an outside source (I have no control on how the data is output). The data in the column I am concerned with contains various formats, such as numbers, letters, and a combo of the two. e.g.:
12345 sample sam123ple
I have been taking the entire column and formatting it as text to make all of the data consistent. The problem I see comes when I go to use the autofilter, to say custom>begins with "123". The value 12345 does not show up in my filter. However, if I double click the cell 12345, then hit enter, and re-run my autofilter, it shows up.
Does anyone know the reason why this double-click-enter method forces Excel to recognize the value? And is there a way to mass-produce this command for the entire data set? Right now, I'm up to 5000 lines of data, so to do this on each would take a while.
I have created a workbook with 31 worksheets (they represent each day of the month). I'd like to know how I can auto fill the date in cell A1 across the 31 worksheets without having to type in each day myself. I need the date format to look like this: Wednesday 7th May 2014
In other words, cell A1 in worksheet 1 needs to say Thursday 1st May 2014, cell A1 in worksheet 2 needs to say Friday 2nd May 2014, cell A1 in worksheet 3 needs to say Saturday 4th May 2014 and so on for the remainder of the worksheets for that month.

I tried dragging by the grip in the bottom right hand corner but it changes the first didit only. I tried to put it the numbers in the format
100 101 102
and using a custom format number to put in the extra zeros. This worked fine until I used a countif (or it may of been a lookup) statement in my code to look for 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 and it can't find it as the number is 100. Is there away around this that will save me typing in an awful lot of zeros.
I've been having a problem lately with Excel automatically converting all of the cells on my spreadsheet from standard number format to dates. I've created several spreadsheets for calculations and all the cells in the number formats that I wanted. It's been saved and actually reopened and used several times. I opened it this morning and now half of numbers are now converted to dates. I've had this happen several times on several different spreadsheets. Why is this happening? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?
Excel tries to be helpful, and formats some of the cells in scientific notation.
I have tried to format the column to the "Text" format prior to the import with
Columns(2).NumberFormat = "@"
This does not work. If you import the table you can see that rows 1405, 1406, 1407, 1408 all have the same scientific notation value. Their true values should be 0E0, 0E4, 0E8, 0E9 respectively.
There are quite a few other instances in the column when a text value has "E" for the second character that Excel will format on its own.
System is generating IDs like 1-OCTO33, 1-NOVE44, which on exporting in excel converts to 1-OCT-33 & 1-NOV-44. How can this auto-formatting be restricted in excel?
To test, you can try entering in excel 1-OCTO33, it converts to 1-OCT-33.
I am looking for some setting in excel, which would prevent it on exporting to excel. Other options like changing column format to text or using a limiter ' will not work in this case.
I have been working on a spreadsheet but I use autoformat for.
For example if the date in the cell matches today's date then it turns the text read and makes it bold.
I was wondering if there was a way to format several cells in a row if a certain criteria was met.
for example
A B C 1 Item Cost Quantity 2 Car £11,520 2 3 Bike £7,500 1 4 Tyres £50 4
Now for example if I set a condition whereas the quatity is greater than 3 then it would highlight the whole row.
So in the example above I would like to to highlight row 4 and Fill colour cells A4,B4 & C4 with a yellow background and Red Text and make the texted bold.
I am trying to format a cell so that it auto populates with information from a hyperlink. An example is that I want cell E2 to equal the cell B9 from a hyperlink. To make things more complicated I want all of column E to equal cell B9 but from each respective hyperlink.
If you look at schedule.jpg you will see a how our work schedules are formatted.
Then if you look at schedule2.jpg, you will see what I wish to convert it to.
Now I'm looking for a way to search by the name of our employee (2 seperate sheets) and then by the time which corresponds to the first "1" in the chart under that name and the last "1" in the chart under that name.
So once I fill out our schedule.jpg, it will auto-populate the times on schedule2.jpg.
Is this even possible?
If necessary, I will be able to put both schedule and schedule 2 on one sheet.
On schedule.jpg time starts at 7:00 - Column C and ends at 8:00 - Column AC
I think there's a way to use Excel to automatically create a 5-day calendar. Maybe a macro?
The date format must be dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm and it must be in text format. If its June 9, 2012 at 6pm - the correct format is: 12/06/2012 18:00
I want to post 5 times a day: 09:05, 9:55, 10:45, 16:55 and 18:00.
Column A is where the date and time goes. Ideally, I'd enter in A1 the start date and then run a macro that would automatically populate the next 5 consecutive days with the specific times above (so 25 rows total in column A).
I have to save the file as a csv file, so the date and time format has to be in text or I'll get an upload error in Hootsuite.
My question is about determining whether or not a particular letter is uppercase.
I've written code that reads from a text file one character at a time. And I know that the following determines if each character is equal to the letter "a".
I am trying to accomplish the following, when i enter a word in column C but in the odd row i want a macro to automatically convert that word to uppercase.
I am trying to change string values of a name from uppercase to lowercase. The data is layed out as lastname then first name. As an example, I have the following values in column C:
ANDERSON MICHAEL SMITH SUSAN P JOHNSON PATRICK JORDAN MICHAEL R WOODS TIGER CLINTON WILLIAM J
I am trying to convert to following (with "," between lastname & firstname):
Anderson, Michael Smith, Susan P Johnson, Patrick Jordan, Michael R Woods, Tiger Clinton, William J
I have a start of how I think the code should flow but can't figure out how to do the conversion.
how to make upper case after mark "." (dot), see this below :
sample data after formula Tabrani,Ny.yusmaniar Tabrani,Ny.Yusmaniar Badu Zai,Tn.surjaah R & Darussamin Badu Zai,Tn.Surjaah R & Darussamin Zainal Arifin,Ny.elvyati Zainal Arifin,Ny.Elvyati etc..
it's possible with excel code? if could perhaps not macro.
