Change Format Of Many Lines

Sep 8, 2009

I need to turn millions (I'm guessing around 4-5 million, though I'm not completely sure since I don't have a program that can actually open the file completely since it's so large) of lines of text which are formatted like this:



05/15/09 09:45:01 AM 16600 1

into lines which are formatted like this:



20090515 094501;16600;1

I could do it by hand, but since there are literally millions of lines like this, it would probably take me about a year to do. So my questions are:

1. Is there a way to do this relatively quickly in Excel?

2. When I open this file in Excel, the year and time tabs aren't filled in with the year and time, but simply with "#######", though if I click on the cell, the year or time is displayed up in the "fx" function bar thing. Is there a way to keep these cells from displaying as "#######"?

3. Right now when I open the file (it's a CSV file), it only opens a little over 1 million of the lines, and an alert pops up that says the entire file was not opened. Is there any way to get the entire file to open? If not, how could I split the file into pieces that are small enough for Excel, and then how could I join those pieces back together?

Userform Date Format Reverting Back To Us Format On Change Event

I have created a userform but I am having extensive problems with the date formats.

My system is set to UK and short date is set to: DD/MM/YYYY

So I finally figured out to use DateValue to format it correctly for example: ...

Change Cell Format Based On Existing Currency Format

Jun 12, 2008

I would like to have a single button that changes a range of cells from the USD to EURO to perhaps CAD symbol. Can this operation be performed, such that if I start in dollars, and I click the button once, it shifts by range to EURO (not formulas...just symbol)...and then if I click the same button again, it goes to CAD, and then back to USD with a third click?

Excel VBA - Change Marker Styles For All Series Excluding Unmarked Lines

Aug 4, 2014

I have a macro that changes the marker style for all series in a scatter chart, chosen through an input box.

[Code].....

It works nicely, but I want it to exclude any series that do not have markers (i.e. lines used to indicate a reference value). I've tried an if-then statement after the With statement, but it will add markers to any line series:

[Code] ......

Basically, if the series has markers or line+markers, I want it to change the marker style, otherwise do nothing with the series.

Macro To Change Date Format To General Format

Oct 17, 2012

I have two columns where there are dates (e.g. 11/05/2009) in a date format; I would like to change the format to `general`; but without losing the original values, i.e. I still want to see 11/05/2009, but just in `general`format. Is it possible to create a macro that will do that? I want these values to stay in the same place, i.e. if it is in cell K10, I still want to have it there - just in other format.

Change The Date Format

May 27, 2009

when I do Format Cell, the date formats offered use US formats like 20/02/1999. Why does it do this, and can I fix it? I suspect that this the root of the following problem.

I have a button on a userform to enter today's date into a textbox. It enters it as 05/27/2009. The wrong format. I save the data to the worksheet, then use the data form to go to the next record, then back. The date then appears in the correct format as 27/05/2009.

Another related problem: if I enter a date manually into the textbox on the dataform, such as 2/3/2008, it interprets it as Feb. 3, and when I save it to the worksheet, and then use the form to view it, it comes out as 3/2/2008.

How To Change Format In Excel

I have column A1 as 9/8/2012 11:00:00 AM. I would like to change it in the specific format as DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM, so I want it to read as exactly this way 08.09.2012 11:00.

I tried breaking the format as separate date and time n then joining back still no luck as when i delete columns A and B its a total disaster.

I simply want the DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM format

Cell Date Format Will Not Change?

Nov 23, 2006

I am facing a problem with number formats. I have downloaded some data from a database. In the data, there are some date columns in MM/DD/YYYY format. In a seperate workbook, I have copied that data as values.

Now when I am trying to change the formats of the dates to d-mmm-yy, they don't change. The formats are not not changing to any other format. I even tried changing the formats using VBA, but it did not work.

Change Format Of Cell Into Number?

Dec 15, 2013

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

Change The Format So That There Are No Digits After The Decimal

Nov 10, 2008

If I enter 2.5 into a cell, and then change the format so that there are no digits after the decimal, the number changes to a 3.

2.4 correctly rounds to 2, but shouldn't 2.5 round to 2???

I thought that even numbers were supposed to round down, and odd numbers round up when there is a 5 right after the decimal.

Conditional Format For Entire Row Upon Value Change

Sep 18, 2009

I can't figure out to place conditional formatting on a range at each change in cells in column A....ie. in column A, several rows will have the value "1", then several will have the value "2", all the way through "52"...sometimes there could be 4 rows with the same value, otheres there may be 5, or others even only 1.....so I need conditional formatting that says each time the value in column A changes, highlight all cells in that row one color and change that color at each change. Does that make sense?
