Copying Decimal Values To Different Cells With Leading / Trailing Zeros?

Jan 28, 2013

I have 4 columns (and a couple of other text columns) that are formatted as decimal with 6 dicimal points.

I need to create a text file with lines that are 80 bytes each from the spreadsheet - no spaces inbetween each of the characters.

The issue I am having is trying to format the 4 decimal point columns to be fixed numbers and retain the leading or trailing zeros to do a concatenation with the other columns.

Just an example of some what some of the values look like on my spreadsheet:

.123456 | .123450 | .012345 | .012340

Essentially when I'm all said and done, I would like the row to look like "text123456123450012345012340text"

I tried to format 4 new columns as general and use a "=right(cell,6)" and that worked pretty well for the cells that have leading zeros, but for the cells that have trailing zeros, it doesn't seem to pick up the zero. I tried to use a "=mid(cell,2,6)" but that didn't work either.

Decimal Format With No Trailing Zeros

Jan 13, 2009

I need to never have a trailing zero be displayed but still have decimals displayed (we can use up to 3 digits for the example) Here's a list of test cases

Value______Display
1.234567___1.235
1.234______1.234
1.23_______1.23
1.230______1.23
1.2________1.2
1.200______1.2
1.0________1
1.000______1
1.020______1.02
1.0002_____1
0__________0
0.001______0.001
0.0001_____0

The only time I want to see a 0 is when the answer is 0 (or rounded to 0) or when 0 is required in the middle. This is for patient safety if you are curious. 2.0 when printed out or written by hand can be mistakenly read as "20" in the heat of things, thus 2.0 should be written/printed as "2" (no decimal on the end) not as "2." even, just "2"

How To Retain Leading Zeros In A Cell When Combine The Values Of Two Cells?

Oct 25, 2012

I have managed to retain leading zeros in a cell by formatting the cell and selecting Number and Custom and adding the maximum number of zeros I want to have in front of the number in the cell i.e. 000002.

I want to have another cell in the spread sheet which contains the value 35394000002 using the formula =A24&B24.

When I use this formula I get 353942. How can I retain these zeros?

Trim Leading And Trailing Spaces From Values

Jun 10, 2008

to trim leading and trailing spaces from values I'm getting from a For Next routine. I'm using c as my variable and Trim(c.value) as the operation.

There are other routines that search for the explicit string that's the result of the trimmed value and some can't be found because the trim as I'm using it isn't trimming.

Retain Leading Zeros When Copying/Pasting

Apr 16, 2008

I have a macros which copies a column of cells to a different spreadsheet and does a few other complex tasks with the data. Some of the data are reference numbers such as 00012345 or 001 which is changed to 12345 and 1 after being copied. What macros could I use to copy this data as is without it being changed?

Remove Leading & Trailing Spaces From Cells

May 27, 2008

While entering data space is given in the first and last of each cell content. For example

if there is a word Alex Patrix in a cell, space is given before A of alex and after x of Patrix. This is done fo many cells. I want to remove only initial and last space which is un-necessary.
The space caused problem to compare cell so i've to remove space.

I've around 2500 cells with this problem.

Formatting Query, Incremental Values With Leading Zeros

Apr 8, 2009

I'm tracking weeks by weeknumber in the format YY-WW. At the moment I am entering the weeks manually in a general cell, preceeded by a '. I would prefer to have the sheet work out the weeks for me as we move the sheet every week. I would like to format the initial cell as follows:

09-08 (or '09-08 if I must)
then have the next cell in sequence read 09-09, 09-10, and so on. With the initial week in cell A3, I have tried to accomplish this with:

=LEFT(A3,3)&RIGHT(A3,2)+1

However, this does not work for weeks 01 through 09 because excel kills the leading zero in the second part of the formula, regardless of how I format the cell (format 00-00 does not work.) How can I force Excel it to keep the leading zero in the week number?

Retain Leading Zeros In Calculated Cells

Sep 15, 2014

I had been trying to calculate cells that contain numbers with leading zeros.

I can't convert the cells to TEXT because Formulas don't work in TEXT Cells.

I cant use Custom Formatting because the rows may contain different number of leading zeros.

Also Is there a way that I can trim the numbers from Col A and put them in C?

Currently I don't like having to change the RIGHT(G2, 3) to RIGHT(G2, 4)

if the number is smaller than the number of char. option.

Delete Leading And Trailing Periods

Jun 4, 2009

I have a spreadsheet with numbers of various lengths.

Sometimes they are preceded with a period and have one at the end as well.

Examples: of their present state

.11110000.111111.000000.

111111.1111111.000000.

100000.000000.0000.110001.

Examples: of desired state

10000.111111.000000

111111.1111111.000000

100000.000000.0000.110001

Is their a way I can create a new column and insert a formula, then drag it down so that it will delete the first or last character, if the character is a period?

Remove Leading And Trailing Spaces In A Cell?

Dec 5, 2013

Any easy way to remove all spaces from a cell, both leading and trailing? I find it hard to believe that Excel doesn't have this functionality. I don't particulary want to write a VBA script since I have never done it but if that's the only way, I'd love to know how to write it. I have looked everywhere but obviously not in the right places.

I am using the following code to import an excel file into an existing sheet. The problem I am having is the way some of the cells are being imported. Some of the cells have spaces before and after the number.

I need to delete the leading and trailing spaces for each cell affected. Is there a code I can incorporate to do this? BTW…the columns effected are columns F & G.

Search For & Remove Leading Or Trailing Spaces

Sep 1, 2008

I wrote a tool that people at work use. They initially need to paste in a bunch of customer locations with Address, City, State, Zip, etc. Sometimes the Users have "bad input" data that has non-breaking spaces, multiple space between words, or leading and trailing spaces and nonbreaking spaces. I have code to get rid of all of those problems. However, the Users often use their data for other important functions at work. So I want to give them a message to let them know that their Original Data is "bad".

So instead of just "Fix" . . . I want to "Report the problem", then "Fix". I need to identify exactly what problem was found - not just tell the User that their data is bad.

I wrote a simple Search routine with error handling that identifies 2 of the 4 cases and notifies the User:
Case 1) ASCII 160 (non-breaking space, HTML &nbsp
Case 2) multiple spaces (2 or more consecutive spaces)
Case 3) Leading or Trailing Spaces (ASCII 032)
Case 4 Leading or Trailing non-breaking spaces (ASCII 160, which is HTML &nbsp)

I cannot quite figure out how to find the 3rd and 4th Cases. If anyone can help me with Case 4 especially, then I can probably do the same thing for Case 3.

I think it will work to somehow use this idea - the code is not even real code but it is just conceptual:
RIGHT(CellReference, 1) = Char(160) or Char(032)
LEFT(CellReference, 1) = Char(160) or Char(032)

Anyway, here is what I have so far . . .

Sub NotifyBadInput
ErrorFlag = False
Cells.Select ' select entire worksheet

' BAD INPUT 1 - lLook for any occurence of ASCII 160 (non-breaking space, HTML &nbsp)
' and Notify the User if any of his Input cells contain &nbsp's
On Error Goto errormsg1
Selection.Find(What:=" ", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

How To Detect Leading Or Trailing Apostrophe And Quote Characters

Jun 23, 2014

I want to alert a user that he or she has typed in a text string that begins or ends with an apostrophe ' or begins or ends with a quotation mark " so that they can take corrective action in removing these characters. The reasons for this are superflous to this post but what I thought was a logical answer returns a formula error. Here's the scenario:-

A user enters a string of text in cell A1.

Cell B1 checks if the text, if any, in A1 begins or ends with a ' or a " and if it does, returns an "Error" message

The formula I've tried in B1 is =IF(OR(LEFT(A1,1)="'",LEFT(A1,1)=""",RIGHT(A1,1)="'",RIGHT(A1,1)=""")),"Error","Ok") but Excel will have none of it.

Keep Trailing Zeros If In Formula Result

Jan 9, 2014

I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet to calculate various things at my work, however I'm running into a problem that I can't solve. In one cell, I have a formula that returns an value to two significant figures. The number of decimal points that this value has is then used at various points throughout the sheet to truncate/round/etc. However, if the first value has a trailing zero as the second significant figure (ex. 0.20), that trailing zero is dropped. This creates problems since downstream calculations are then truncating to an incorrect number of decimal points. How to retain this trailing zero IF the formula results in one?

Concatenate And Retain Trailing Zeros

Dec 10, 2008

I cant seem to figure out how to concatenate data from two cells into one cell and retain trailing zeros. If Cell A1 has ".0000" and cell A2 has ".0005" then I want cell A3 to show:
".0000-.0005".

I get "0-.0005" on my attempts. Alos, how do I make the value an actual number and not a formula?

Len Formula That Includes Trailing Zeros

Jun 25, 2007

I have seen a few posts that are close to this but not quite right. I have a situation where I need to do "=LEN..." formula that counts trailing zeros at the end of numbers (meaning zeros that are displayed at the end of a number but do not appear in the actual cell value).

example:
Cell E19 contains the actual value 4773.52, but it is displayed in currency format with FOUR digits so it displays as $4,773.5200.

The formula I am using is =LEN(MID(E19,FIND(".",E19)+1,4)). The result is 2, which means it does not include the last two trailing zeros in the LEN count.

Is there anyway to get it to include the trailing zeros so the result equals 4? Either w/formula, macro, or UDF?

Is weird I know, but I need to know how many decimal places (displayed, not actual) for many numbers on many sheets that I do not create myself.

Keep Leading Zeros?

Oct 8, 2012

I have formatted the cells to be '0000' (showing the leading zero) however when my VBA code runs it copies the cell value into a string but when I stop the code running to check the value the leading zero(s) are gone. I can see they are the same on both worksheets in the correct format. I've tried a few others like integer and long but same same.

Formula To Add Leading Zeros

Oct 10, 2007

I need a formula that will make a 4 digit number by adding leading zeros. If the number is already 4 digits then don't add leading zeros, do nothing. all numbers will be 1,2,3,4 digits long.

For Example,

if number is 1 then make it 0001
if number is 11 then make it 0011
if number is 111 then make it 0111
if number is 1111 then leave it 1111

Leading Zeros In Variable

Dec 5, 2006

what i want to do is input a range of numbers into a cell "L12" from 1 to 450
though when in excel i have formated the cell to "number" so when i want number 001 it turns to 1

what i what to do in the macro is after

Dim sNum As Integer

Sheets("FFR").Select

sNum = Range("L12").Value

if the number 1 is in the cell "L12" the number 1 will be in the variable sNum, though i want the number to be 001!

would i have to count the number of numbers in the variable and then say for example if there is only "1" number in the box, use an "add 00" function to get the number in the variable to be 001! I have an idea what to do though no idea where to start!

I am using this macro to format all of the data in column "A" to have 5 characters and be text. These values will later be used in formulas and Pivot Tables.

Sub Macro2()

Dim sinlen As String
Dim sinformat As Variant
Dim lastcell As Variant

Pad Numbers With Leading Zeros

Jul 19, 2007

i have a header row that i want to transfer to a new spreadsheet. here is my exact setup to make it more clear:

Sheet1 - 001 PM Usage$%
Sheet2 - 022 PM Usage$%

i have dozens of these rows, and i want to set up a auto rename for the header row on sheet 2 to rename itself like this:

Dim the value from header row on Sheet 1 (001), and rename the header on Sheet 2 (022), keeping the remaining contents intact (this is important because i want to use the same function for other headers which varies).

what i am doing now is dumping the value of the first cell into a variable, but as it stands it doesnt store 001, it stores 1... stripping the zeros, which makes it more complicated.

i thought perhaps i should dim the first 3 characters in the header as a string, and rename the first 3 characters in header 2, which i think would be the most efficient, but i dont even know if that is possible.
