I'm trying to set up a stocktake sheet for one of the business' I work for. We use a letter = number cost pricing code on our products. ie: H=1, A=2, R=3, D=4, T=5, O=6, G=7, U=8, E=9, S=0. I would like to have 4 columns where A contains the qty, B the alphabetical cost code, C the deciphered numeric per each amount and C being the total price (ie column A x C).

If n = 5, then I want to generate a string like this: "1+2+3+4+5". Similarly, if n = 7, I want the string "1+2+3+4+5+6+7".
I can generate the consecutive numbers, but have not figured out how to generate the required string.
In the ID column of the attached excel file whenever I convert the numbers stored as text to numbers it results in a weird transformation.
e.g. an ID of 480610141001 becomes 4.8061E+11. When I do the same process in the name column, which has similar numbers, it will give the correct result following the same process.
I have been looking through the forums and found the below code, but I have both text and numbers in the same range. I have attached an example of what I need to have converted.

See attached file. A colleague is downloading rows of data from a website which contains a number field Excel is currently treating as Text after being pasted in. My spreadsheet includes just a sample of the many rows of data however as you can see the VALUE function refuses to convert these text values to numbers. How these might be converted and why the VALUE function refuses to work in this case?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe back story is that from a system we use, when you download data from inside it, Excel treats most of the cells with a "Number Stored As Text" error. I had problems with this and it was just generally annoying so I wrote the below macro that converts each of the cells back to general cells and reinputs the data, essentially reseting the cell and keeping the data. Being that this is a loop, it takes a good while to run if alot of data was downloaded. Any idea's on how to speed it up besides screen updating? Note, other stuff happens in the first macro, but it is just cosmetic non-intensive things. It calls the second macro because I wanted them seperate should I want to just run the second.
Sub CleanData()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
' Find the Right most cell and the Bottom most cell and
' run the macro from A1 to this cell recursively
Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Select
Col = Selection.Column
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
Row = Selection.Row
Range("A2").Select
Range("A1", Cells(Row, Col)).Select
Application.Run ("FixTextAsNumberError")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'
End Sub..............
I have the following two macros that I use daily:
Public Sub add_tick_marks()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection
If Not IsError(c.Value) Then
If Left(c.Value, 1) <> "'" And c.Value <> "" Then
If InStr(c.Value, "E+") > 0 Then
c.Value = "'" & c.Formula
Else
I use these because I frequently copy billing account numbers that have leading zeros from some proprietary software and work with them in Excel. I need the leading zeros to facilitate VLookUp's. When I paste the data into Excel it truncates the leading zeros. My typical procedure is:
1. Copy a column of values from our proprietary software
2. Paste it in Excel (Ctrl+V)
3. While newly pasted data is still selected I hit Ctrl+1 which brings up the Format Cells form.
4. I double click "Text"
5. I re-paste into Excel (Ctrl+V)
6. I run my macro to add tic marks to the values so the leading zeros never get lost.
The problem occurs when I copy multiple columns of data and paste it in Excel. If one of the columns of data contains numbers or currency then I select that range of values and run the macro to get rid of the tic marks. After running the macro the numbers are still treated as text. When I select a range of those values and right-click on the status bar and select " Sum" there is no value. No big deal, I just highlight them and format the cells as numbers or currency. But after formatting them as numbers or currency, they retain their format as text until I click in the formula bar for each individual cell and hit enter, at which time they take on the number or currency format I have chosen and the sum can then be displayed in the status bar.
How can I force the formatting I chose to take effect on the data immediately without me having to individually "fake change" the data in each cell?
I have text as numbers downloaded to excel sheets from crystal that i need to add together on a summary sheet. I've tried using Value, TRIM and CLEAN functions to no avail. the TYPE function is reading the cell as Text and I have also tried multiplying by 1. Does anybody know how I can get around this ? hopefully I've attached an extract of the file

I have a workbook full of six digit numbers that I need to manipulate but can't. They have been data-dumped from a server and copied as non-numeric values.
I have tried EVERYTHING I could find on how to convert these column cells to numeric fields:
Multiplying by 1 - didn't work
VBA Code - For Each xCell In Range("a1:a1012")
xCell.Value = xCell.Value
Next xCell -didn't work
Format Cells as numbers - didn't work
Format Cells as general - didn't work
Remove Spaces - didn't work
Text to Columns - didn't work
This is how the data is stored.

For my research in medicine I build a spreadsheet with google docs. After having received most of the data I transfered the spreadsheet into an excel file. The next thing I would like to do is to convert the words in the spreadsheet into numbers so I can calculate with them. For example: every row in column E consist of one of the two words: 'man' or 'woman'. I would like to convert the word 'man' into a '0' and the word 'woman' into a '1'. Is it possible to write a formula or function for this?

Working with an inherited spreadsheet which has massive amounts of numbers formatted $US to 2 decimals. Can't manipulate the data: all formulas to sum groups of the numbers yield zero and formulas to multiply or divide them yield "#VALUE" error message. I guess the data is text (is left justified) although there's no apostrophe visible in the formula bar. Anybody know how I can convert these to numbers?

I have a workbook that has many linked cells and formulas. Some of the times were entered manually in hh:mm format and are located on tables that are used to get a number from. On another worksheet, there are times taken from the internet that show up in general format. So 00:05 shows up as 5. I have tried to change these into number formats but it always shows up as 00:00 and tries to include the date in the formula bar.
These various cells are linked and are used to look up other values but the formats are different and not talking. I am looking for a way to get them to work with eachother without using formulas if possible because many of the cells already have formulas in them.

I need to "carry forward" the negative value by automatically adding it to the next positive cell in the column. This process should loop through the column leaving no negative numbers, leaving a zero in any cell where the negative number was originally and balance out to be the same amount as the sum of the original listing of monthly payments.

There is a total of 10 different number values. I want to include the conversion vba into an existing macro that is performing other functions on the spreadsheet.
I am extracting a large set of numbers forming various tables from SAP. These numbers are not recognized as numbers and have Formula error. Only way to further process them is to convert them to number using 'Error Checking' option from 'Formula' Tab.
I need a macro to convert all such text to numbers, note there are no other formula errors.
I have other macro to delete rows, columns, take sum and create new Summary Table from the data but that does not work until I manually convert text to numbers.
how to have the macro globally i.e, I need to only open the extracted data in excel and be able to run the Macros. Presently I open the extracted data and also open the master macro-enabled file to access the macro.
I am attempting to automate a daily extract for account transactions. This extract ranges from 100 - 15000 lines on any given day. Below is an example of my data:
Account Action to be taken
8523 Needs to be converted to a number
84A2 No action needed
8523 Needs to be converted to a number
0749 Needs to remain as text stored as a number
2GP1 No action needed
8181 Needs to be converted to a number
0489 Needs to remain as text stored as a number
[code]...
As you can see, I have three types of data:
1) accounts with leading zeros which need to be stored as text
2) accounts with mixed formats which can remain as text
3) accounts that are purely numerical without leading zeros. I need to convert these from text to numbers.
Since the extract can be up to 15000 lines long, going through the data to manually convert the appropriate cells from text to numbers is unreasonable, especially when this has to be done daily.
Is it possible to script this task? I've tried a number of things, but unfortunately my knowledge of VB isn't very extensive. This is the best that I've come up with:
Code:
LastRow = Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, "a").Value "0*" Then
Cells(i, "a").Format.General
End If
Next
But I'm failing on the line highlighted in red.
