Cannot Change Cells Number Format
Jan 10, 2008
I cannot change the number format in a single sheet of my spreadsheet. I can go to format cells and select colour etc but it will not change the number format.
Another issue on the same sheet is that linked cells i.e cell b3 formula "=A3" displays "=A3" not the actual value in A3. Again, i cannot change the number format of this cell and yes, auto calc is on.
Whilst not wanting to offer a partial explaination (per the rules) just before this happened i was pressing a combitation of Shift+Control+` - not sure if that is relevant.
I want to get the sheet back to its 'normal' working order.

I am having slight trouble with the formatting of some cells. Every month I will be copying data into a row, the problem is Excel thinks it's a date instead of an integer of some sort.
The value copied will look something like this:
79:42:00
(meaning 79 hours and 42 minutes)
Excel is taking that and interpreting it as:
1/3/1900 7:42:00 AM
Is there an easy way to format this so Excel thinks it's a number (even if 79.7).
I tried to change the format of the cell to "Text", but it changes it to: 3.32083333333333

i have a column with times of day and need a helper column to show the starting hour. for example, column a1 - 9:53am would like b1 to show 9am or 9. i tried customizing the date format to 'h' only, but when I pivot the table it still shows several 9's

I have an if statement which shows either GP% or average revenue per product. The problem is that GP% needs to be in a percentage format and revenue per product needs to be in number format. 500 is now shown as 50000% or 50% will be shown as 0.5 for example. Is there anyway on changing the format of a cell based on the number?

I have used this forum periodically and it has saved my bacon on numerous occasions so I know someone can help with this!
I created a workbook for staff planning and it's becoming a behemoth!
I'm wanting a range of cells within a row to change the number format to "[hh]:mm" based on a value in the 2nd column of that row. I have played about with a few things and can't seem to get it to work. What I have so far is this:

I have been trying to type a date in a column in MS excel. But excel always reads it as a serial number.
How Can I get it to display the date as it is in date format. I have the next column formatted/ formulated to display the day of the date in the previous column.

Is there any way to change the decimal point from the usual period symbol (.) to a comma (,). The reason being, i have a structural design spreadsheet and the new terminology is just so, changed from 00.00 to 00,00 I have tried cell formatting but it just uses a comma (,) for numbers in their thousand and it wont do what i need.

Format the number in Column AL to '[hh]:mm' when Column C's value is ="P/T", otherwise format to 'General'
Column C's value is referenced from another sheet in the same workbook via a VLOOKUP function.
Column AL's value is based on an IF formula which goes like this:
=IF($C4="F/T",SUM($AJ4)+($AK4/2),SUM($D4:$AH4))
Basically the above formula asks if Column C's value is F/T then count (because if F/T then the corresponding values in that row are whole numbers). If not, then SUM (because if P/T the corresponding values in that row are set to [hh]:mm format).
I have another sheet in the same workbook which has code (quoted below) which does something similar but I don't understand it enough to get it doing what I want for the sheet in question.

Text to Number or General.xlsx
The included, small database is formatted as text. It is a text feed from an outside source. I simply want to format the cells into either numbers or general format but not text... seems simple, and it should be, but the only way I can get this done is to go to each cell and access the formula bar and re-enter the number by pressing Enter.

I have a consolidated sheet which I maintain to keep track of the scores of my team. Unfortunately from time to time, the format of all the cells is getting changed to "time" value. I do sometimes use an addin which I have downloaded from Straxx.com (excel password remover) and I am not sure if this add-in has anything to do with this.
I am having to change the format of almost 20+ columns every time this happens.

whenever i start a new worksheet in the workbook, it's format is set as custom format. At the same time, whatever pivot table draw will be in this custom format. Is there anyway i can change the default format back to general? There is also a sample attached...The actual db is kinda more complex than that but there is a limitation of 40kb so...Is there any other preferred website to upload files?

how do you place 100/0 so the /0 stays static and the 100 can be used to operate? (ie: 100/00, 101/00, etc)

I have been trying to get a formatting programme to work for well over a week and no matter what I try I seem destined to fail. I am trying to use an IF statement in VBA to format a cell if the result of the IF is true. The values in the cells being formatted have been generated from a VLOOKUP statment (looking at a table on another sheet of the workbook). I have tried to use conditional formatting but cannot get past the limit of 3 conditions.
Note in the code below I have values that may appear the same but to make them unique they have a single (or double) space before and after the character. Not sure if the code I have below is workable, if anyone has a better idea please let me know (its a little long winded). I am currently self learning VBA (through forums and the like) and below is the best I have come up with... however when I try to run it I only get a Run-time error 1004, application-defined or object defined error.

I have created a named range that includes raw data layed out in 4 columns (Finish Name, Fill Color, Pattern, Font Color). On a separate sheet, when one of the finish names is selected in a particular cell, I want the cells fill, pattern, and font color to change according to the raw data. Below is the vba code I am trying to get to work. However, it is not working. It does not break, but does not achieve the desired result. It looks like the variables are getting set correctly, but still not changing the cell when they are referenced. I am only testing it on the first finish color, as seen in the code. All of the rest are static values for the cell, but I want the values to be dynamic.
Sub SetFinishSeparatorColor()
ActiveCell = frmFinishSeparator.cboFinish.Value
Set rngTarget = ActiveCell
With Sheets("Pick List Do Not Tamper").Range("Finish_Cell_Color")
lngFinishCellColor = . Find(What:=rngTarget, After:=.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False).Offset(0, 1)..............

I have a column of numbers and want to make sure everything has been entered correctly from our scanning software. Basically, I want to automatically highlight any cell that has any letter in it (e.g. z12o2 instead of 21202 or R705 instead of 5705), ignoring any cells that contain only numbers. I haven't had any luck using conditions based on formulas like =ISTEXT.

I am trying to format certain cells to change colors depending on the date and the content of the next field to show due dates.
cell label
due date
date completed
c5
au5
be5
c6
au6
be6
c7
au7
be7
c8
au8
be8
What I need is for the contents of au5 to be green up until 10 days before the due date, yellow up until 5 days, and red with less than 5 days until the due date. If the date completed is entered into be5, then the contents of au5 should be black.
Is this possible, and if it is, how do I set this up? I tried to use
=$AU5-TODAY()>=10
And choose green formatting (something I found on yahoo answers), but when I enter the date the text is still the original black font.

what I am looking to do is when in colum AA a cell changes to "Drawdown" I'd like the cells in column A:D,F,H:L,N:Q,S:Z on the same row to grey out and a line to be insert below the cell that was changed, if it selects "Fee" , cells in A:D,F,H:L,N:Q,S:Z on the same row.
I have writen the following butit seems rather cumbersome and I can not get the insert line to work.
Code:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim IntersectRange As Range
Set WatchRange = Range("AA1:AA500")
Set IntersectRange = Intersect(Target, WatchRange)
[code].....

I have the same report, one a monday snapshot, the other a daily comparison. I would like to index columns B, in both reports, to find the same part number and then reference the horizontal row and highlight increases in columns G thru AD. The comparison report looks identical but the column B numbers may not be in the same location. this is a report to show prosduction requirements and the increases throughout the week.

(Using Excel 2007)
What would be the quickest and most efficient way of doing the following:
Example
Sheet 1: clicking once, twice, three times in the following cells to change the fill to Red, Yellow, Green respectively (in Row 22, COLUMNS E H K N Q T W Z AD AG) and mirrorring this format/fill on:
Sheet 2: , mirror the selected fill on sheet1 in E22, H22 , K22 in in E3:N3 respectively example E22 (sheet1) is mirrored now in E3 (sheet 2); H22 (sheet 1) is mirrored in F3 (sheet2) etc etc.
I have 35 tabs formatted in the same way - each tab, as with Sheet 1 is linked to a different row on sheet 2 in the same range as is sheet 1 and would need to replicate the mirorring on Sheet 1 to each of the other 34 tabs.

I have a number in a cell of 1025132.36. I need to scale it down to this number with this formatting: 1,025.13 (Two decimal places with comma separaters)
Basically it is dividing it by 1000 or scaling it by 3 (move the decimal place to the left three places). I cannot use /1000 in the cell and I cannot reference it to/from another cell. I must use something under Format/Cell. I was trying to create a custom format.
I saw in another forum thread to use #”.”###. This does the scaling but then I can’t make the number viewed with only two decimal places. Also when I tried to add comma separators for thousands it put a comma right before the decimal.

If Cell A1 in my spreadsheet is 1, then cell A2 should appear formatted as a percentage. So if a user enters 9000 into cell A2, it should appear as 9000%. If Cell A1 in my spreadsheet is 2, then cell A2 should appear as a comma-formatted whole number. So if a user enters 9000 into cell A2, it should appear as 9,000. Conditional formatting doesn't appear to let me do this.

Cell L90 to L120 are input cells where I type " Percentage" or "Dollar Amount". I need the five cells to the right of each input cell starting two cells over, to be formatted accordingly. I read a thread similar to what I'm asking for suggesting a worksheet change macro, but I can't quite figure it out for a range of cells. Also, in case I need to add a row to my sheet before all of these cells, how can I make sure that this will still work without having to go into the code. Is this an activecell thing?

I've got a button with the following code:
Sub uncheck_all()
Dim sh As Shape
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
[Code]....
Currently, the button just unchecks a bunch of checkmarks. I want to modify the code so it also makes the value in cell C13 change to -9999, C14 to 9999, C16 to -9999 and C17 to 9999.
how to integrate that into the formula?

I am looking for a method to conditionally format a variable number of cells below a single cell into which data is entered.
For example ABC = 6, DEF = 12. Therefore, if I enter ABC into D1 then D1:D6 should be conditionally formatted.
