Converting Text To Number
Mar 16, 2009
I am currently trying to find an easy way to convert cell references to number format. The issue I'm having is when compiling a small formula (CONCATENATE) as part of a macro in order to produce a unique reference number to a column of data (1000's of cells long) I come accross the age old number stored as text issue after the macro has converted the formula to values.
Have tried editing the macro to number stored as text = false which removes the annoying little red triangle but the vlookup functions still wont read the values. My current solution is to highlight the entirity of the data and convert to number which takes a long long time as there are multiple lookups assigned to the cells, which for my current project is not acceptable.
Am looking for a quick solution, (with no interaction required) something that would convert the cells to the format required either before the formula is assigned and overwritten by values or just after. Currently I'm stumped.

Here's the data set I am working with.
I get a dump that is in the form xxxx gbps or xxxx mbps (gigabits and megabits). I'd like to either use a formula or VBA code to convert this to mbps in another column.

I have a formula which extracts a number from a text string.
The text string is in A2 - the formula which extracts the number is in B2
However - when I copy the data in B2 and paste values to another sheet / cell - the forumla is as text - and I get the little green corner symbol and I have to convert to number.
Some VBA code - that will automatically convert my extracted "number" - to an actual number in number format.

I have the following SQL that works fine...
Code:
= "SELECT [ID] FROM [Data Connection TBL] WHERE ([DateSentYear]= ""1992"" AND [DateRcvdYear]= ""1992"");"
However, if I create loops to cycle thru the years, the following doesn't work?
Code:
= "SELECT [ID] FROM [Data Connection TBL] WHERE ([DateSentYear]= " & CStr(x) & " AND [DateRcvdYear]= " & CStr(y) & ");"
Is CStr not right?

I need to convert some text to a number. I was wondering if there is a way to do it in Excel. Like, for example, the date 3/14/2006 can be converted to 38790. Is there any function in Excel that can convert a word to a number?
Example would be (numbers are totally random)
md_bla_bla_02 would convert to something like 3452615261502

I am pulling out information from a cell using =RIGHT(C2,4). It gives me 6-2 in the cell, which is what I want. Now I want to sum the cell but how to do it. I have tried converting it but it doesn't work, I tried pulling out each digit, but that didn't work.
Ideally, I would like a formula that could convert cell A1 into a result in one cell.

I have an excel file that is used to create a large text file. This is all done manually so I wrote some code to create the file automatically. I have everything working except that I am losing some info. The info is zeros after the decimal point. Almost all of the cells are formatted as numbers with 3 decimal places. It is common to have values of 0.000 that end up just 0 when they are written to the text file. Is there a way to keep the formatting (all decimal places)? Here is an example of code that I am using to write data directly from a cell to the file.

I am using following formulae to convert 16 digit number to with validation that number is not exceeding 16 digits and should always start with "1" else it should give Error with 11 blank spaces
(IF(LEN(L2)+LEFT(L2)=17,TEXT(L2,"0000000000000000"),"ERROR"&REPT(" ",11))))
but when I input any number which has a value other than zero e.g. 1009510010000059 its returning result as 1009510010000050 I need validation also in the same formulae

I have a spreadsheet which has over 30,000 records. One column is a row of numbers stored in a General format. Some of these numbers are however stored as Text and have the following Error Check:
"The number in this cell is stored as Text or preceded by an apostrophe"
As a result, when I try to import this sheet into Access, the numbers are not imported and appear as blank cells in the Table.
Is there a way either manually or programatically, format the column so all cells in that column are stored as a number and do not have the issue of being stored as text?

I have a macro that goes out to a database and pulls in updated numbers. However the numbers come in as text because they have leading 0's:
011204
011208
011209
015942
017536
The only way I can get the numbers formatted as a number and drop the leading 0 is to click on the yellow exclamation tab that pops up and click, Convert to Number. Is there any way I can write this into my macro to automatically do for me? I tried selecting the column and reformatting this way but it would not drop the leading zero:

I am importing data from an access database that is continually refreshed. Some of the data that is returned to my Excel sheet is in binary, where a "0" represents an unchecked box on the database program and a "1" represents the same box, but with a check mark. I want to change the data so that when it is updated on my Excel sheet it is converted to text as either "Yes" or "No" instead of "1" or "0", respectively. I'm sure this is pretty elementary stuff but I have tried VBE and cell formulas and can't come up with an answer.

Is there anyway of converting the output (which is 7 and in text form) to a useable number format so that I can take advantage of the VLOOKUP function (instead of getting a #N/A)....

I am importing a list of values from a text file. Some of the values have the letter "E" embedded in the string. For example one of the imported values is "29875E100". Excel is automatically converting this into scentific notation. Is there a way to avoid this?

I have to use data copied as text from a webpage. Some numbers stay with spaces so are recognized as text I think i.e. 3500 will be "3 500".
I think there was a formula to convert that into number or any other way ? Couldn't find it on the forum so far :/

I have two columns that read:
XXHSXX HR
XXTRXX MG
XXXFXX XG
XXHSXX HS
XXTRXX MG
XXMEXX RU
XXHSXX HR
XXHSXX
XXTRXX
XXTRXX
....
The above list represents 2 columns. The left column is 400 lines long. The right column is partially complete with 2 letter codes that represent the 6 letter codes on the right. I'm trying to convert the column in the XXYZXX format to a 2 letter column and each of those 2 letters corresponds to the 6 letter column on the left. How do I do this using any method or Vlookup? How does one convert a column of text to a corresponding column of text? I don't want to have to manually type in 2 letter codes that match up the left column. What do I do instead?

I have in column A the frequency in weeks which I need an inspection to be done.
I have in Column B the last week in which the inspection was done.
I want to produce in column C the next week required to perform inspection.
So lets say:
A B C
26 28 54
If I add the 2 columns I get week 54. Is there any way I can convert that to read week 2?

I am creating a review sheet/skill matrix using excel and need to be able to convert a particular selection to a number in the adjacent cell to work out the users efficiency (long story that i wont bore you with)
So basically i have a question/statement in cell A and a drop down answer menu in cell B containing up to 5 possible answers (very poor, poor, ok, good, very good). In cell C i would like to insert a formula that allocates a number dependant on the selection in cell B. So if the user selects very poor in cell B cell C states 1, if cell B has poor selected then cell C states 2 etc etc

I am trying to create a spreadsheet to keep track of an online racing league that I'm in. I have created columns for the racers, and rows for the races. What I would like to do is type in 1st, and it represent the number 13 for when I do an autosum at the bottom of that column. It would be easier for me to type in the position place, instead of the points value. The position place will always carry the name numeric value. Here is what I have so far:

I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.
