My problem is that the data being entered into the sheet for the lines highlighted in red is going in as text, and not true numerics, so that the subsequent formulae are not working correctly.
formulae that converts % into time and visa-versa.
I.e 1.5 hrs = 1.30 hours ( i.e 90mins)
or the other way round
1.30 hours = 1.5 hrs..
I have a document passed to me that includes information pulled from an internal system.
I want to use some basic formulas to show Totals, averages etc.
However, the SUM function does not work on the data provided unless I select the cell (As if to edit the text) and the press enter.
Is there a quicker way of selecting all of the cells in Column A for example and performing this function on mass, rather than selecting each cell individually.
I have attahced a similar sample copy - My SUM formula is show in cell B15.
I have a spread sheet with a date colume that reads: 2012-06-27-19 I need to have this read like 06/27/2012 but nothing I do is working I have tried to go to the formatting process and backing the hr:mm out and that doesn't work. I really don't want to go line by line to manually correct this issue.. HENCE ... over 2000 lines
Second question: If I have a column that reads 02/15/2012 and another column that reads 3/27/2012 how to a format a 3rd column to make it read total number of days between 1st date and 2nd date?
I have a column that says either TRUE or FALSE this is dependent on what number i input into another cell, so if i input 8, TRUE shows on every 8th row,
I want the cells that say TRUE to also have a sequential number next to it in the column beside it.
Formula i have: =MOD(ROW(S2)-1,nth_No.)=0
So for example, every 3rd row is TRUE, i am wanting a sequential number beside it:
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE 1
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE 2
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE 3
I have an Excel workbook which has 10 rows of numbers with a min of 20 and max of 30. The random number lies in column B and this will be tested to see if it lies between the min and max. I need to loop this 10 time over
I first started out declaring the 3 variables and assigning values to each variable. It works if I assign a value of 22 for Number but I want VBA to see the Number and make a decision (True or False) if that number lies within the range of 20 to 30.
Should I name the Number variable as a variable because its value will change depending on if it matches the conditions? Also would a case be easier? Between.xlsx
I've tried using the worksheetfunction.sumif route and couldn't seem to get the syntax correct. I'd prefer the worksheetfunction route, as I don't need the formula stored, but it would be great to have both of these pieces of code for reference online - I scoured Google, and the examples I found were pretty weak.
I've recorded the macro (hence the R1C1 references in the second example) and had it work perfectly, but when I replaced row references with my variables, it went back to displaying "TRUE." I'm including all the code here.
Variables:
expr = 3 to 38 (For loop)
startrow = the starting row for the reference data
endrow = the ending row for the reference data
thresh = minimum threshold (a number)

I have a very large spreadsheet that comes out of SAP and it brings out the majority of cell entries as text ie putting a ' at the begining of any number. the problem that i have is with the cells that have a date in them ie '19/04/07. I have tried varioous methods to remove this and turn the cells into date format but to no avail.
Also i do not get the option to convert text to number
I import data from my works server and dates are represented in text. example text format is yyyymmdd/19790310. What I'm trying to do is add and subtract from this date. I was trying to utilize formula and havent got close. I have a couple of parameters:
In column L I would like to represent the following
if column "B" is "A" add 38 years to column "J" dates are represented as TEXT
if column "B" is "B" add 35 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "C" add 30 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "d" add 30 years to column "J" "
Column "M" I would like to find the difference in column "L" and "C" I know days will be difficult it can be represented in years and months only.
I have no preference on whether I use VBA or a formula but have failed on on formula and was attempting to use VBA Case method but no success. I have 10000 rows of information and am open to any ideas attached an example of my data.
I'm trying to count the number of occurrences where two conditions in a table are true.
I have a table that has two columns for ratings; impact and probability. Each can be scored 1-5 This creates a matrix table of possible scores from 1 - 25 (image attached)
I want to COUNT the number of items in each of the boxes (not the total score). For example, how many are Impact 5 and Probability 5 (25 total); how many are Impact 4 and Probability 2 (8 total), and so on. Basically a count of the each of the intersections in the matrix.
Something like "Countif Impact is 5 AND Probability is 5"
Is it possible to count something once, checking for multiple conditions?
I am using a spreadsheet to determine if students are meeting Growth Targets between a pre test and post test.
Here is my formula
=If(D8>=C8,"yes","no")
D8 is the Growth Target and C8 is the Post test Score.
After doing this, I need to calculate the percentage of Yes results. This year it will be easy, as it only applies to 25 students. Count the yes's and multiply by 4. Next year, it will apply to number in the neighborhood of 150 students.
Here is a sample
PreTarget Post
Student 15778 82Yes
Student 25369 91Yes
Student 35778 75No
Student 45778 68No
Student 55369 50No
Student 63761 50No
Student 74061 68Yes
percent of yes's
I have a list of items that I am preparing to upload to an access database. The list is quite lengthy and has required a lot of manual corrections to get it prepared for upload. It also has several columns that are not needed in the access database, but that I used to make sure that all of my data was ready. What I'd like to do is create a new table that will have the same structure as the table in my access database and upload the portion of data that I have ready now so that I can do some further development using actual data. In order to do this I need to extract the ID Numbers (column B values) of the records that are marked "True" in the "Ready" column (column G Values) and deposit them in the new table. I only want to copy over the ID Numbers as the additional fields will be populated with match / index lookups from a third table that I have on another worksheet.

The 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..............

If InStr(c.Value, "E+") > 0 Then
c.Value = "'" & c.Formula

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
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two columns with values. Then I have a third column with one letter A or B.
I'm not used to excel, but I've tried my way with COUNTIFS and I'm pretty sure it's the way to go, but I'm lost in the syntax.
I want to count the number of times the values in the first column is larger than the values in the second column, if the letter is A. And then flip the ">" sign and count that and hopefully the first number is higher.

I have two data columns: the first is a list of the last 100 calendar dates, and the second is an ON/OFF (or 1/0 if you prefer) value corresponding to each date. If the last value in the second column list is ON, I want to find how many continuous days the value has been ON for. If the last value in the second column is OFF, I want it to return a zero. Note that in the 100 day span of data, the value may switch between ON and OFF several times, but I only want the continuous, uninterrupted ON days at the end of the date range.

I have a worksheet where I have around 300 rows, each with 7 columns. What I want to do is add a checkbox to each column. I plan on setting non-applicable checkboxes to mixed status and locking the worksheet. I will unlock applicable checkboxes and sumif or countif their value according to row-based scoring, for example, each checked checkbox represents a value of 3. I do not know VBA and have chose to use the form control checkboxes rather than ActiveX.
I believe that a formula for this would be something like: =SUMIF(B1:B3,True,"3") or =COUNTIF($B$1:$B$3,True)*3
I am wondering firstly if I have that right and secondly if there is a way to stop my checkboxes from displaying labels. Currently, if I click on one it displays True behind the active checkbox. If I uncheck it, it displays False.
I'm just trying to get a total of columns E, F and G, and place those totals in row 5. The problem is that somehow the numbers in column G were stored as text, so the SUM formula is coming up "0". How would I format these cells, in a macro, (columns E, F and G, just in case the data in the other two columns were stored as text), as a number so that I can total them.
I've tried selecting the column, selecting format cells and choosing number, but that doesn't work. I can manually select the cells, click the little exclamation point, and then tell it to convert to number. This works, but when I tried to record it to add it to the macro, it didn't record anything but the selection of the cells.
I have a string of imported data which comes into an existing spreadsheet. It cannot be changed prior to importing as the data is provided by an external vendor.
When the data is imported into my spreadsheet the Error Checking tag comes on, after I select the cells where certain numeric data has been entered, stating that this is a range of Numbers Stored as Text. If I click on the Error Checking tag and select the Convert to Number option and then enter my VLOOKUP function I get the desired answer. If I do not convert the text to numbers then my VLOOKUP function does not work at all. The cell just displays the function text itself instead of the desired answer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox embedded into an excel sheet with a linked cell and a range defined in the combobox properties. Every time I change the value in the combobox, the value in the linked cell is stored as text instead of a number.
I have tried copying a cell containing 1 and copying and pasting as special into the linked cell but that only fixes it for the time being. If I change the value in the combobox again, the value in the linked cell is again stored as text. I tried =value() in the linked cell but that again only worked temporarily. Every time I change the value in the combobox, the value in the linked cell is stored as text.
I have a date in a particular cell, say O5, formatted as mm/dd; e.g. 11/14
I have the following formula in another cell;
=M5 &", Lot# "& N5 &", Expires "& O5, where cell M5 = "CONTROL" and cell N5 = "#####"
Why does the date get converted to a serial number. i.e. CONTROL, Lot# #####, Expires 41592?
My aim is to get the date "11/14" to appear in the cell.
