Converting Text To Numbers In Multiple Sheets While Leaving Missing Values Blank?
Jul 24, 2013
I have an Excel workbook with around 100 worksheets. All of them have similar columns, but the values are stored as text. The length of columns and missingness is different in different worksheets. I will be grateful if any of you could suggest a VBA that could convert the numbers stored as text back to numbers. I have been looking for an answer for a while, but cant seem to find one that automatically looks at every worksheet and converts text into number.
Here is the formula I am using however it interprets the blank cells as 0% and includes it in the average. To make it more difficult there will be some 0%'s.
I have a column of invoice numbers, formatted as text, some of which have first character "0" & last character "C" e.g. "012345C". I want to get rid of the "C" leaving e.g. "012345".
I have tried Find "C" / Replace " " with the undesirable result being that the leading "0" disappears too. Find "5C" replace "5" gives the same.
i m creating a macro to delete extra characters in a column. I have over 200,000.00 records in one column which consists of numbers with characters. For example:
if anybody can come up with a macro, so that I can just have the numbers and nothing else. I would like to exclude the following -~!@#$%^&*()_=+?/.";:|][{},^` within a cell.
I need to remove only numbers from excel cell - I have tried using the "constant" function but did not work. I have thousands of cells with a consistent 4 digit number like this:
1000 the rest is text
How can I remove only numbers but leave all text in the cell and then if I can trim the cell so there are not any spaces at the beginning afte removing the numbers.
I have a sheet(s) that have numbers as text. I need to convert them to numbers...Each of the four sheets have four columns of different lengths and different column numbers.
Multiplying them by one will convert them, but I want to do it efficiently.
Was thinking maybe a "change by value" formula in the worksheet with a "dim" and a "Loop" ....
I can't modify my formula to leave blank cells blank when dragging it down, Also, I've got two formulas that i need to combine. Please view the comments I've put in cells E4, F2,F3,H2 and I2 to understand clearly what am seeking. See the attached worksheet.
I'm looking for the VBA command for this function. I tried just recording a macro in where I perform the task but it didn't record anything. Tried it several times even.
we work with both Lotus 123 and Excel 2003. Lotus will be gone next year, but for now, the official mean to publish our reports is Lotus. With my work, I copy/paste a Lotus page to Excel. I use the following macro to convert Lotus format numbers (which Excel considers as text) to real numbers:
Sub ForceToNumber() Dim wSheet As Worksheet For Each wSheet In Worksheets With wSheet . Range("IV65536") = vbNullString .Range("IV65536").Copy .UsedRange.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd End With Next wSheet End Sub

Excel considers decimal numbers with a coma as real numbers and numbers with a dot as a text. This previous macro fixes that. However, Lotus works the other way. Only numbers with a dot are considered real numbers. So I would need to find a way to code a macro that converts any numbers in the Excel sheet to a number with a dot. It's a bit like doing the opposite operation.
I am receiving a monthly breakdown of postage costs by department but the values are received in a text format of 1 234,56.
I need to convert these to numbers.
I have replaced the comma with a full and tried to use =substitute(cell ref," ","") to remove the spaces in those numbers exceeding £1000 but this does not seem to work.
I have five columns on an Excel Spreadsheet with questions in each of the columns.
Below each question is a number value. In the rows below these number values the users will be answering the questions with Y or N. When the spreadsheet is complete I would like to replace the Y's with the number value shown under the question and replace the N's with a number value of zero (0).
I want to convert numbers that were entered into a spreadsheet with commas in them. Since they were entered with commas of course excel reads them as text.
How can I convert them to numbers so I can use formulas.
I have a spreadsheet table which shows different things but in particular has a column of data ranging from numbers 1 to 23. I carry forward these numbers to display in a different table, so am simply linking from the second table into the first to bring that data forward (literally using formula =B1, in top cell, =B2 in second cell and so on). That's fine.
However I would like to be able to show a blank for any occurences of numbers 4, 14 and 24.
Is there a formula that I could use to firstly carry forward the data, but to then leave blank if the value is either 4, 14 or 24?
We are compiling annual receipts - using Excel spreadsheet numbers to merge into a Word document, but we are losing the cents in the merged document. When we tried converting to text, the cents were lost as well. Example 450.00 becomes 450 - how do we keep the cents - 450.00?
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 using an ODBC database connection to input data into an excel file. When I input the data excel stores the numeric data as text and puts a ' in front of the number. There is an exclamation mark beside the cell which allows me to convert the data back to numeric format. I need excel to do this conversion for me automatically when new data is added to the file.
How can I have my macro run in its cell and still allow the cell to be blank? Say I have a number, 0.99, in the cell and I want to delete it and leave it blank. I can either push "Backspace" or the delete key and it still leaves zeros.
If I push the space bar it stops the macro (which I do not want to happen) and leaves the cell blank because I added a space.
How can i leave Cell D3 etc blank untill i have inserted the end date it will look tidier when i do my full spread sheet and also is there a calender on a toolbar i could put on my spread sheet for easy inputing of dates.
i am having a problem here,i Have got two columns one for item name other for item quantity.the quantity field has data like: 2+2+8 5+5 2+9 5 666+98 258 6+89+7+4+2+4+5 .....etc.
i need to calculate the total of all the cells like the first has sum 12,second has 10 ,fourth has 5 .Now i can get the sum by simply putting a " = " in the start of the cell but the problem is that ive got 8000+ cells putting = manually will kill me.
I would like to easily replace every character in column A with a blank, with the exception of - and a number. I am trying to get rid of all letters,:, / and other miscellaneous characters without having to delete them one character at a time.
I have a macro that takes a value of one cell ("Cells(iFoundPass, 5")) and makes another cell (Admin_Level) equal it (the valules can be wither 'Administartor' or 'Standard'). When someone runs a macro it checks to see if "Admin_Level" equals "Administrator". The problem is that when that first macro runs, even if ("Cells(iFoundPass, 5")= "Administartor" and then "Admin_Level" will be made "Administrator" , my IF/THEN statements do not work. I think this is because the value of "Admin_Level"("Administrator" in the example above) is not text. I can't seem to figure out why. I do know, though, if I manually enter in 'Administrator' in the cell name "Admin_Level" then my IF/THEN works.
I have a workbook that updates from external source and creates sheets depending on a cell range.
I have put tab 1 and tab 0 on either end of where the new sheets will be inputted, will never know how many sheets
What i need to happen is if someone fills in "complete" in A7 in my "summary" sheet then the values in row 6 in all the other sheets get hardcoded. This needs to happen from A7 down to A26, so A8 = complete then copy row 7 etc This is what i have so far
I get compile error here ........Sheets(ArrSh(1)).Activate
Also need it to work for all the other rows.
Sub hardcode() ' 'Sheets("Summary"). Select If Range("a7") = "complete" Then ' Sheets(Array("1", "0")).Select Sheets(ArrSh(1)).Activate
I have a list of numbers in sequential order. There are numbers missing. Is there a way to have Excel insert rows for the numbers that are missing in the series.
