I am importing data from my AS400 in Excel, the dates are coming into the spreadsheet as numerics. How do I convert these numbers into a date format? i.e. 3202002 should be 3/20/2002, how do I get the number to that format?
View 9 RepliesI have loaded a .csv file in which the first column contains date/times, e.g. 01/12/2012 00:00. How do I now tell Excel (2010) that this is in fact a date/time format? If I select one or more of the cells, click on the Number dialog box launcher and try to pick a suitable format tghe cells resolutely refuse to budge from being text (i.e. left-justified, still allows me to edit the 'seconds' component to a number > 60). Also which data type should I be using? The only one that appears to have a full date/time format listed is Custom (not Date or Time).
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of the reports I run provides me information on lengths of time. Such a field displays as |0:09:16| indicating 9 minutes and 16 seconds. However, when the report generates the excel spreadsheet it saves these cells in date/time format ([h]:mm:ss). If I were to convert this field to the number format (so I can manipulate and graph it) it displays as such |0.00643460648148148| Ideally I would be able to have the data in the field stored as |556| (556 seconds, or 9 minutes 16 seconds). I have thousands of fields that I need to manipulate where the data is stored in this format and I can not figure out how to fix it.

I've been having a problem lately with Excel automatically converting all of the cells on my spreadsheet from standard number format to dates. I've created several spreadsheets for calculations and all the cells in the number formats that I wanted. It's been saved and actually reopened and used several times. I opened it this morning and now half of numbers are now converted to dates. I've had this happen several times on several different spreadsheets. Why is this happening? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

I'm copying data from another source to excel, and for certain date entries they come as text in the following format "On 14 May at 8:00". Is there anyway to convert multiple entries like this into a standard date format? With or without time is fine - just the date will do.

I need to bring in 2600 student names from a cvs file and have it formatted to an Excel workbook.
When it imports into the Excel file I need it to populate the proper boxes, such as:
StudentLastName
StudentFirstName
StudentID
GradeLevel
TeacherName
TeacherID
RoomNumber
I have the CVS attached. Hope I can get this done. As you can see it shows the teacher's name with their first initial, their teacher number that they are identified by and their room number. I need the student ID as well but not the phone number and the days of the week. This would save a lot of work.
I'm generating a report on an oracle based software which then I export to Excel. Unfortunately the dates come out very messy. I've included an .xls file with the dates. They are untouched. As you can see, some are left aligned some right aligned. Nevertheless, all dates are of the format dd/mm/yyyy with zeros (0) automatically omitted - this is how they're shown on the Oracle report, I've changed nothing.
I want all the dates on column B to have the same format as the date on cell D3. Of course, the format must remain dd/mm/yyyy.
Please feel free to ask me questions if any of this is confusing.

And here's the recorded macro, deliberately left exactly as is
On the attached example i have a list of fractions (in the format ?/???). However, i have a problem when the fraction is 6/4 or 4/6 as excel rounds the nominator and de-nominator down to the lowest value so these fractions become 3/2 and 2/3. For these two fractions only i don't want this rounding down to happen.
I am open to any suggestions, but i was thinking of some vba where on pressing a button it would run a macro that went through the cells in the column and if the cell value is 1.5 (3/2) then format the cell as text and enter the value"6/4". For the 2/3 fraction, i think you may need to say if the cell is greater than 0.66 and less than 0.67 because this would possibly be harder to exact as the number of decimal places involved.
I have a workbook that requires refreshed source data each day. The workbook has all of the macros and formulas that analyze the data.

I am working with Microsoft Excel 2003. I am trying to import(or something
like it) from worksheet (A) to worksheet (B). Worksheet A is a spreadsheet
that I have saved to keep the same row names, etc. but the information within
the named cells is forever changing. I also save the information from
worksheet A, but have another copy that when I open, it always opens without
any changed data in it. MY question/problem is that I need to import the
data from A to B, and every time that A changes, I need B to automatically
update the data and continuously add to the spreadsheet I have made up for B.
I can NOT have A overwrite any data that I have already put into B.
I've imported a few thousand lines of data into excel, but some rows have a rogue character or a blank cell in the middle of them taking up a cell and shifting the rest of the row along one cell and putting it out of sync with the columns I want that data in.
Is there a way of remedying this without going through and manually moving a couple of hundred rows along one cell.
I'm not sure I've explained that particularly well, so I'll try and illustrate it with an example.
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB ------ 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
Ignore the fact that they are all 1.23, I've just used that to make it quicker for me to show. As you can see row 3 has a ------ (representing a rogue character or blank cell) in the 5th column shifting columns 5-9 right one cell.
Now as I said I have a few thousand lines of data like this with maybe 2-3 hundred rows with this problem and I really don't want to manually go through and fix each one.
Is there a tool in excel or a way of using VB to fix this?
Alternatively, is there a way when importing the data to have a number of delimiters rather than the one extra one you can select to remove these on importing?
Maybe it could be fixed by taking any blank cell (or character) and deleting it whilst shifting all cells to the right of it one cell to the left?
I have import the database from SQL server, all the records imported begins with a blank space and they can not be trimmed using Trim function. Is there any smart solution ? I prefer to get VBA code to solve the problem.
