Cell Date Formatting: Cell To Display Mm/dd/yyyy And Enter Mm/dd/yy
Aug 13, 2008
I have Excel 2000, recently when I format a cell to display mm/dd/yyyy and enter mm/dd/yy, it is displaying dd/mm/yyyy. Or it starts out correctly and during a future opening of file it displays incorrectly.
I finally finished programming the userform that I've been working on for about a week and started to populate the database with info (dates, names, TRUE/FALSE etc etc).
Then all of a sudden I notice that as I switch between "records", one of the dates gets a life of its own - it changes from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy as I select it. When I jump onto another record and select that previous record again, the format changes from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.
This happens with ALL dates where the days and months are =< 12.
I thought I'd apply formatting to the text box to stop that happening with the code below:
I use MS Excel 2007. When I type in date as 2/3/2009, it gets typed as 3/2/2009 i.e. DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY. Attached is file for your information. I have even formatted the Cells in that particular column to Date Format under British (UK) DD/MM/YYYY. I want dates in DD/MM/YYYY format only.
I want to enter the word 'Closed' in cell B1 when the due date in cell A1 is exceeded by 272 days. I have tried using conditional formatting and excel accepts the formula but nothing seems to happen. Here is what I have tried;
"A" in cell A1, B in B1, "C" in C1, "D" in D1, "E" in E1 and "F" in F1.
There are two projects.
Project 1 has phase A, D & F and Project 2 has phase A, B, C, D & E.
My Specification follows...
1). Take Prject 1 - Which starts from A...in cell A2 I will keyin "A". When the phase comes to an end I will key in the end date of the phase. As soon as I key in the end date in cell A2 Letter D should automatically appear in the cell D2 and when Phase D comes to an end I will key in the end date in Cell D2 which should automatically keyin F in the cell F2. and is the same case for Project 2.
I have to enter a ton of dates in cells that don't need to include the day. And so was hoping if there was a way to enter a date into a cell without having to enter the day.
In essence, it seems like I have to type in the date as month/day/year and excel will figure it out from there. I would like to be able to just type month/year without bothering with the day, such as 9/14. And then excel recognizes this as a date.
Excel has to be able to recognize it as a date because these dates are expiration dates. And I would like to conditional format these dates so that when the expiration date has past the cell turns yellow.
I have a spreadsheet that contains data from sales being made in various locations (sheet 1). The date the sale was made is in column A, and the location is in column AZ. I may have from 0 to 12 sales at that location on the same date. I am building a report in another sheet (sheet 2) that counts the number of sales for each date and displays that number in a cell in row 3. Above row 3, I want a formula that will reference the location (AZ sheet 1) and display that into my cell above row 3 in sheet 2. Each column in row 1 sheet 2 will have new date.
For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)) With C If IsDate(.Value) Then .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") Else .Offset(0, 3).Value = Right(.text, 4) End If End With Next C
which is supposed to read the cell offset 3 to the right, and then set to either YYYYMMDD or YYYY depenig on the value in the cell. I'm not sure how to specify the first part of this line - .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") - it keeps reading the cell in column A, rather than the offset cel.
Without using a copy/paste macro, is there a way to display the text and its formatting from another cell? Obviously, the usual formula "= A2" only brings the text from that cell. Example:
A3: un-am-big-u-ous
G4: = A3 (but I want the font formatting used here as well)
I have a spreadsheet that we use to generate visual data, with very small column widths. I have a column width of 1 at the moment, and some data displays, while some doesn't. I want it to show a number which appears every 5th column, without having to merge and center each set. I used to use a macro to merge and center across the data set but the data set length is now dynamic so that is difficult.
I am using a userform to collate the information in the "data" sheet and have a unique ref number in column A. Data populates columns A - AC.
In sheet "Mail" I enter the Ref number and it pulls through the info using vlookups into a template which I then e-mail as the body of the text on the click of a macro button.
I wish to capture the date each time the button is clicked in the same data row starting in column AD then AE etc.
I have cobbled all of this together by searching around this forum - I have not expertise so please be gentle with me!
I have used data validation to colour rows in one of my spreadsheets at work. The column that uses the data validation is the first column and has a drop down list of 5 words. One of which is collected, which currently indicates when the card has been collected by the individual in question and no further attention is required. It colours the rest of the row green. There is also a column that is entitled 'Date Collected'. Instead of having to input this manually, is there a way to automatically enter the date to be the date that the 'Collected' value was selected?
The title is misleading, I realise there will need to be some sort of IF statement in the 'Date Collected' column. It's been a long day already.
I have a spreadsheet in which I want to track the date and time someone made an entry in an adjacent cell (so if someone enters something in B2, I want the date/time of that cell edit to appear in C2).
When the date/time has appeared, I want it to remain the same and not update when the worksheet is opened the next time. So I can't use NOW to pull it in, because that's going to change every time the file is opened.
In my sheet I have a list of all the days in a year in the cell range of AJ12:AJ376.
Basically I want to find the date in Textbox1 within the range of AJ12:AJ376 and enter the value of Textbox2 in a adjacent cell. The adjacent cell would be in column AT. This would be achieved hopefully via a code using the commandbutton.
I need to change a whole column of dates shown as “dd.mm.yyyy” to “dd/mm/yyyy”. I know the answer must be quite easy but it’s been bugging me for some time. Even after sorting the cells, it only sorts using the first two digits, totally ignoring the rest. IE, it sorts 01.07.2009 before 15.05.2009, also before 03.02.2008.
I have two columns. In column B is the date of "last check". I column A is the date of "next check". I would like to have cell A2 in yellow color 334 days after the date entered in cell A3 and than in red color 365 days after the date entered in cell A3. Same thing for cell B2 related to date entered in cell B3. Yellow color in cells announces that check will expire within 30 days and red color that check has been expired.
I am trying to alert our purchasing mgr when order dates are approaching or not meeting our project deadline.
As of now i have the following rulesif order date is due today or past due - redif order date it greater than project date - redif order date is due within 2wks - yellow
Now all I need is a rule where there is an order without a due date but the project deadline is within 2wks (yellow) and past due or due today (red)
Is there a function/routine/etc. that when I scroll over a cell that I can display the name from the row along with the date from the column. (I know I can do it if I click the cell.)
Objective: Once I zero in on the desired cell I click it to schedule the person to work, count their hours, add to weekly and monthly totals, etc. etc. etc.
when I type a 6 digit date into Excel cells formatted to dd/mm/yyyy very strange dates are being displayed. Tried opening a new book - just the same result. All is ok typing with the / in between but I don't usually have to do that. Regional settings have been checked and formatting etc.
A - Date last checked B - Due Date C - Actual Date checked
Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?
Im trying to find a formula that when a cell is empty ie this cell is linked to another cell on another worksheet and info has not been entered or is 0 then i want the cell to display the the current date ie =NOW()
