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? ....
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 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 $-.
I am entering text into a cell and as soon as I go over 241 chars, give or take, the data turns to a row of ####'s when I get out of the cell. Help says the limit is 32K and I have wrap text on. What am I missing? The data displays OK when the cell is current, but goes away when the cell is not . When I preview a print I have the ####'s. I am using Excel 2000.
I have a table that collects its data from another input table. What I want to do is set a maximum in one cell so that when it reaches that limit, it will begin to divert any other 'incoming' amounts to a different cell.
For instance, If I want to fill a room of 50 and then direct others to a different room, I want the spreadsheet to do the allocation for me and fill the other rooms subsequently.
I have a text string concatenated from an array of about 3,500 elements. The concatenation looks something like the following:
sRange = "$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 )
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 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.
I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
I have a cell which will contain SER01+SER02+SER03
and what i need it to contain is [SER01]+[SER02]+[SER03]
and shocker is i've got this to work for the first instance but not the other two
code as below... be grateful for your help
Sub measure1() Dim list As String, pos As Integer, refl As String, refr As String, newlist As String list = Cells(1472, 16).Value pos = InStr(list, "+") refl = Left(list, pos - 1) refr = Right(list, pos + 1) newlist = "[" & refl & "]" Cells(1472, 17) = newlist End Sub
Need a formula/code that will determine what the corrected part number should be (insert dashes if they are missing) by comparing to other values in the list.
I would like to create an If Then statement in which the condition is based on if a string is a simple text or a formula. Some of my cells contain a formula and some contain simple text...and I would like to cycle through all of them- only do something different to them based on what the cell contains.
I have some cells with some spaces and then text where I want to find the position of the first letter. Do any of you know about any function I can use?
The example below contain 5 spaces and then my name. It should give me the answer 6.
i have a column that is 1900 long and i need to add a "comma" to the end of everything in each cell in that column. How do i go about this? so at the moment it look like this:
Here's what I'd like to accomplish: For each row that contains a URL that ends with a / I would like to remove it. If I use the find/replace feature, it would remove all /'s, which I don't want since a good majority of the URL's contain the /'s in various parts of the URL, such as in the example above. I'd also like to accomplish adding a / to the end of every URL for a list that does not have the /'s at the end.
I'm looking to create a macro that will take a input from extract master.xls workbook and search that contain in the transaction.xls workbook.
I need not want to search the entire row exactly, instead if the search string found any where in that row, that search string alone need to be removed from that row.
I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit.
I'm using the phrase "!!<"@">!!" to add the code, but with some cell contents the result is ########### (but much longer), and I'm having to remove some of the text to make it work. The limit seems to be around 255 characters.
Is there a way to do a left formula where you can have it pull the whole cell except the last character? Basically, I have a sentence that looks like this:
apples, oranges, pears,
And I want to drop that last comma. But the length of the each cell varies from row to row.
I'm trying to find a formula to add a "Y" to the beginning of a value less than 7 characters and and not to add a "Y" to the beginning value that is equal or greater than 8 characters.
This is how I need it to look. Y123 Y1234 Y12345 Y123456 Y1234567 12345678
I've searched for this in the forums but can't find anything. I need to find/replace a character in Excel, it's a question mark in a box and looks like this
I've tried searching for special characters (using the ALT key and number pad) but I can't find anything matching this.
When I save the spreadsheet as a CSV (TAB delimited) this character gets picked up as a TAB, but when I try find replace on the TAB character it doesn't work!
