I am entering text into a cell and as soon as I go over 241 chars, give or take, the data turns to a row of ####'s when I get out of the cell. Help says the limit is 32K and I have wrap text on. What am I missing? The data displays OK when the cell is current, but goes away when the cell is not . When I preview a print I have the ####'s. I am using Excel 2000.
I work in Insurance and have a spreadsheet which requires [oil] values to be entered into Column J. I then have three additional columns (K,L & M) and I require them to do the following:
K: take the value from J but cap it at $100,000,000. L: take the value from J but have a minimum value of $100,000,000 and a maximum value of $400,000,000. M: take the value from J but have a minimum value of $500,000,000 and a maximum value of $100,000,000.
For example, if i were to enter a value of $650,000,000 into Column J, Column K should show $100,000,000, Column L should show $400,000,000 and Column M should show $50,000,000. Likewise if I were enter $15,000,000 into Column J, Column K would show $15,000,000, Column L would show $- and Column M would show $-.
I have a table that collects its data from another input table. What I want to do is set a maximum in one cell so that when it reaches that limit, it will begin to divert any other 'incoming' amounts to a different cell.
For instance, If I want to fill a room of 50 and then direct others to a different room, I want the spreadsheet to do the allocation for me and fill the other rooms subsequently.
I have a table that I use to generate about 20 graphs. The lower and upper limits can be manually altered in the table. If the user leave those 2 cells empty, I want the upper and lower limits be determined by default by Excel. So that the limits don't have to be entered for every graph in order for the graphs to be generated without any debugging error.
Length of cell contents (text) 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar.
I have an Address Book from an old Personal Information Manager that exports the file as ASCII.
My problem is when I view the .asc file in Excel, Excel has created two rows for several entries.
That creates a problem as I wanted to select Column "A" then do Text to columns with a comma delimiter (the asc files has the comma in place) However, since Excel put in the second line, I'll not be able to put in a header column.
When I look at the .asc file there is no way that there is more than 32,767 characters in each row. So why did Excel split it up? ....
I have a text string concatenated from an array of about 3,500 elements. The concatenation looks something like the following:
sRange = "$A$3,$A$7,$A$8,$A$13, ..."
When I try to set a range with the said string: MyRange = Range(sRange), the system throws an error.
I've seen a few methods in help ("Union" for one) that accept up to 30 arguments. I'm unable to find anything in help that states a limit for MyRange = Range(). It appears that 30 may be the magic number for everything.
I have tried using "Union" and building the range one element at a time from the array. That works, but it's incredibly slow.
Is there any way I can pass my array as the argument directly? Something like: MyRange = Range (MyArray).
I am in the midst of developing a Userform with a purpose of entering/retreiving and amending data. A rough approximate of about 50 sets of 3 text boxes is required for user to type in data. Is there a kind of limit or performance issues if there are so many text boxes available? What other ways would make it work? Would appreciate some advice from the veterans in this field.
The values in F4:F14 are changed depending on the value in F2. The rows in green have a fixed value. The row in yellow has a lower limit (170)and upper limit (195). I cannot get a formula in F14 to perform this function.
I have been trying to do an if statement but need to choose between 10 options:
In Column AA I could have any one of the following 10 text entries - In column AB I need to return 8, 4, 2, 1 or 0.5 depending on which is in AA (this column AA cannot be sorted nor are people willing to cut back to 5 options )
Is there any way to remove the 225 characters per call limit in pivot tables? Pivot tables do not allow validation but I need to pivot "Description" cells with a lot of text.
Or, is there a better way to manipulate text data than a pivot table that I don't know about.
I want to generate random times in excel between upper and lower limits , which i can do , but i also want dates in same cells with out randomization , means dates should act independently and time should randomize
it should be something like that

I would like to be able to enter the data into the grey cells and then have the yellow cells auto generate a result. The only problem is that the required value in cell B5 is from when the entered value in B4 is looked up in the table, rounded UP to the next highest value and then the answer from the next cell.
So, if I enter in B4 a value of 500, a lookup is made in the table and the next highest value would be 553 with the correct answer shown in B5 being 13.
I am using dglinfo with if statements, and I know that the spreadsheet is updated but the only way I can show the value in particular cell is by hitting the fx. Is their a way to show all the values at once instead of going cell by cell?
I created a formula in a cell and it worked fine but then I created the same formula in the cell just below it and I changed some of the numbers and when I hit the enter button the formula showed up in the cell and not the final result which would be the answer to the formula. Does anyone know why it would do this? I have an example below....
I have a formula in a cell and when I use the formula bar it shows me the correct answer but it doesn't show me it in the worksheet. Only the formula shows up.
The same formula could be another place in my worksheet and work fine.
I have tried changing format. Copying formula from another location and changing the information to fit my needs it won't show me the result.
The following concatenate function was working, then mysteriously stopped. When working it returned the data that I requested, now if I click on any concatenated cell and hit enter I get the function string, see below.
InputData is my tab that is being referenced. All other functions/formulas are working as designed. The data in the referenced cells is still there and I changed from text to number to general, etc but I still get the same result.
I have a cell that has a formula in it and is also Excel Dates & Times coded. Hence when the repsective cells are empty and there is no values to be calculated the date "00-jan-00" shows. how to prevent this from showing up allowing for a blank cell to only show?
one cell gives me the MAX value of a range of cells I want to then use that value to refer back to the range of cells and return the value one column to the left
This formula returns "A4" which is the cell number for this result I want to show but it just enters A4 not the contents of cell A4
In a particular CSV Excel file I want to populate "Description" column with a HTML template Code by merging 3 columns of HTML. The HTML has almost 20,000 characters. Now before merging and after merging when I copy paste the HTML in any cell it doesn't show all the code that I have copied. and when I merge all the 3 columns. a lot of HTML data seems to be missing. I think excel has some sort of limit and it is not allowing all these 20,000 characters merged and combined in 1 cell. I am stuck at this point and can't upload the CSV as the HTML is missing a lot of coding.
I've got an array of data about 30x1500 cells in size, I want to use this data in a table I'm making on another worksheet.
Normally I'd just use VLOOKUP and this works great in most cases but I want to do something a little bit more complicated. Basically I want to (in normal English) have excel look at the table, find a cell that matches criteria in this data array, then compare to another cell on the same row in this array. If the criteria for these two match then display the data from another cell on the same row. The criteria for matching the first cells would be an exact value, both being strings of text.
I've tried using a couple of nested VLOOKUP and IF statements but failed .....
