I have a date in H34, 21/03/2009.
In I34 I have the same date again, except formatted as MMMM YYYY so its showing "March 2009".
In G10, I want the cell to read: Number at end of March 2009, with the month and year being taken from the date range. To be honest, I can get the year okay using the Year() function but cant get the month as cant convert it back from a numeric.
I am having is on the user form I have a default start time test box and a default finish time text box that when the form is opened it looks at the constants work sheet and if there is any data it puts it into the appropriate text box, all ok so far when a user wishes to change the default data in these text boxes I need to test if they are entering the data correctly, in Access 2000 I would set the defeat format of the text box to Time? Data type=Format(time,”h:mm”) or a or an input mask of “h:mm” so if they did not enter the time in the correct way an error message would pop up and tell them to renter the data the correct way.
I have not been able to find this type of settings in Excel 2000 I have tried testing the data using the beforupdate but it also dos not recognise formatting
The other thing I need to do on the user form with this formatting is calculate the time difference between to two time inputs and come up with a total hours.
I have managed to do all of this in the work sheets and preforms well but not on the user form
I have a cell that contains numbers and text.
example: 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 1-22-3-44-5-6.
If the the number between the dash '-' is a single digit (less than 9), I want to insert a leading zero so all 6 numbers are 2 digits.
Is this possible with custom formatting? I tried a custom for of:
00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00
and it is not working.
I also tried using a MID formula but it gets quite complex identifying the location of the dash - is there an easier way than the MID or LEN?
I have a range of cells with numeric values or blanks. I set up a Conditional Formatting rule with this range selected: New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Format only cells with: Blanks; then I set the formatting to a light green fill and on the Number tab > Category = Custom > Type: "blank"
The blank fields get the light green fill, but no text; that is, the value displayed is still blank.
I go back to edit the CF rule and change Blanks to No Blanks. The results are what I expect: the cells with numbers display the text blank and have a green fill; the blank cells have no fill (white).
This is my testing criteria. I eventually want the empty cells to display 0 (zero). I tried setting Custom > Type: 0 (the number placeholder zero) and Type: "0" (literally the number zero), and neither works.
I have tried this with Format only cells with Cell Value equal to [the address of a blank cell].
I tried to set the value as "" but kept getting =""""; and ="" became ="=""" ???
I have tried this with Use a Formula... using the len()=0, isblank(), and other approaches, all with the same results.
I also made sure the option [x] Show a zero in cells that have a zero value is checked.
With all approaches to identifying the blank cells, they ARE obviously being recognized as blank values: the fill color is being applied to the right cells; and when Not Blank is the criterion (or a negation of a formula), the blank ones are not formatted. But blank cells will not display the text as defined in the Custom Formatting.
And this isn't an issue of "If the cell displays 'blank' it's no longer blank, so the rule doesn't apply" - HERE'S WHY: I set up a second CF rule that sets the Font to red when the value is greater than zero and had this CF rule follow the CF rule for No Blanks (the test above that works). Cells with positive numbers displayed blank in red, cells with zeros or negative numbers displayed blank in black. This clarified that the actual value of the cell is being evaluated, not the displayed value after Custom formatting is applied.
I have a spreadsheet with 'due date' for returns in column L and 'received date' for returns, in the adjacent column M.
I would like to get the due date to turn red when it is overdue, ie. the date in the cell has arrived and no return was submitted. By trawlling the forum, I managed to accomplish this with the following in conditional formatting:
Cell value is less than or equal to =TODAY()
All's great.....but - I would like the date to turn back to black if I enter a date in the adjacent received column, column M.
In other words, I want to flag a problem if the due date has passed, but once I receive the return and enter the date I receive it, i would like the due date entry to revert back to the original formatting ie. black. So only the outstanding returns are highlighted.
I need to custom sort a column. I have 3 different types of data in the column. First - multiple dates, Second - "TBA", and Third - "ASAP". What I need is when the column is sorted the "ASAP" rows will be first, the dates (sorted) will be next and finally the "TBA"s. I have been trying to use a custom list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA form loads and the first thing the user is to do is enter a specific date in a text box (preferably in, "mm/dd/yyyy" format.)
Is there any way to set up the text box so that when the form loads, the, "/"'s (slashes) are already in place? And can I set it up so that if the user enters in the date in any other manner aside from, "mm/dd/yyyy", that it will give them an error?
Finally, I want the user's date input to store on a worksheet (in row, "G".) So the first time the user uses the form, they type in a date and it stores the date in the FIRST AVAILABLE CELL IN ROW, "G." (example: "G1") The next time they use the form and type in a date, it is to store in, "G2", then in, "G3", ect. Each time they fill out the form, the new entry is to save in the next row beneath the previous entry.....
For other text boxes and combo boxes I have been using the following code to do this:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & intRow) = Text.Value (or Combobox.Value - depending on whether it was a text box or a combo box.)
Unfortunately I have NO idea how to apply this logic in regards to text boxes that are to store dates.
For making quotes at work, I'm looking to have the quotes named automatically. The format of naming our quotes is the date (in this format) then quote name: yymmddNAME (Example for today: 090720EXCEL)
I'm using the =NOW() function for the date (Cell A1), then doing a custom format to turn the format into yymmdd then in a different cell I'm putting in the "NAME" (Cell A2) and what I want to do is combine the 2 cells (Cell A3) by doing: =A1 & A2
but when i do this, the format of the date gets messed up.
What I have is a table with over 20 columns that I use to sort and AutoFilter the 200+ rows of data. Several of the columns use Data Validation which require data to be from lists.
So, my problem occurs when I add a new row of data... I don't want all the values in the row to be blank (Some values should never be blank... This is why Data Validation was used here). Is there any kind of New Entry feature or some easier way to enter a new row of data? I know some other Office applications that use an easy UI to 'fill in' data types when a new entry is added.
At the very least, since it might be the only plausible result, I'd like a new row of data to result to default values (i.e. the top value in the list) in the columns that have data validation since should not be accepting blank values.
Also, I am very good with formulas and finding my way around Excel's features, but I'm not very experienced with the VBA programming or custom macro-writing.

I was shown a way to convert dates correctly.
This solution works perfectly when carried out manually, but doesn't work if a record a macro and then replay it - only some of the dates are converted.
Here is a small sample of the dates I'm working with...
04/09/2008
05/10/2007
08/10/2007
14/09/2007
15/09/2007
17/09/2007
17/09/2007
17/09/2007
19/03/2008
20/09/2007
21/09/2007
21/09/2007
25/09/2008
27/09/2007
28/09/2007
28/09/2007
And here's the recorded macro, deliberately left exactly as is
I have column A set up to display dates in the following format: 03/04/2009. While the "look" is fine for the values in the column, I cannot get it to stay in that format when it is moved to a text file. It simply converts the display back to 39876.
I would like a macro that 1) looks at all values in column A and 2) converts each cell in the column to text format but leaves the contents so they are dates 03/04/2009 (mm,dd,yyyy).
My formulas is
="Start Date: " & VLOOKUP('Project Information'!$C$4,Sheet1!A285:T285,19,0) & "
End Date: " & VLOOKUP('Project Information'!$C$4,Sheet1!A285:T285,20,0)
The results I want are Start Date: MMM-DD-YYYY End Date: MMM-DD-YYYY
What I am getting is: Start Date: 41537.7083333333 End Date: 41537.7083333333
So excel is give me the numeric values of the date instead of the formatted date. I tried to format the cell as date, but as I expected that didn't work because the cell also has text in it.
How to create custom formatting for cells like (%.00##).

I need a custom number format to do the following: When a whole number, shows only whole number (no decimal place) When decimal, show decimal. For example, have this data show as typed:
45 (not 45.0)
32
6.7
43.5
87
I can't figure out a format to allow this. The closest I get is:
??.?
but that gives me:

I am creating a spreadsheet for a stockroom, each product that my business sells, is on an individual row, and the details for each product can be seen in the columns (e.g. Product ID, Product Name, Cost Price, Number Sold, Number Brought, Units in Stock).
What I want to happen, is for rows to be blacked out (through formatting) if the remaining stock levels fall below around 3, then the row that the product is on, is 'un-blacked out' and so can be seen. However if the number of remaining stock is above 3, the row is blacked out.
So the sheet will work that only products with the number of remaining units in stock are below 3, are visible, and the others are blacked out.
I need to take a column of numbers and round them to the nearest 10. This is for a worksheet that will go out to clients, and we aren't allowed to leave functions (such as =mround(5556.54645645656, 10)) in place. However, the only alternative is to just type over that long number with "5560", which eats the original number and isn't desirable either.
Therefore, I have come to look at custom formatting. The closest thing I have found is this thread: [URL] ......

I am working on a spreadsheet to create a school 'tracking' system based on excel. What I need is that as soon as a box in column B is ticked, a date (TODAY() is entered in column A. That is not so difficult, and I have used the formula in cells in column A:
=IF(ISBLANK(Bx);"";TODAY()), where x is the specific row.
So, keep cell A clear untill something is written in cell B. This works fine.
But, for the purpose I need to keep the TODAY() date fixed after entry. And it need to be erased again if the tickbox in cell B is emptied again. It need then to re-enter a new date after cell B is re-used.
I'm having a problem with data validation. I set an entire column so that it could only be a date between the first date in the list and the current date. I tested a few cells to make sure that it was working the way I wanted and I noticed that it allows a random number like 3 or 5 to be input after row 50. This would create a date in the 1900s. Why is this happening and how can I stop it.
I'm trying to figure out how to enter the formula for conditional formatting if I want the selected cell value to be red when it is <0.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo the title isn't really totally descriptive but it was all I could come up with. I have a work book that has 30 identical sets of 5 cells for users to enter in information. Some of my users will not need all 30 sets. I'm wondering if there is a way for the user to enter the number of cells they need and have excel then format so they have the desired number, instead of 30. Then have excel change all the instances of this number in formulas so that it matches the new number of cells. I hope I explained this well enough for someone to help.

Reason for the 0's on the international is because country codes often start with a 0, so I need to ensure it isn't removed from the number.

I have been googling and trying different things and I cant get anything to work. All of the characters can be text, there will always be 4 characters, a space, 2 characters, a space, and the remaining 3 characters. It seems as though it should be so simple to add two spaces into a fixed length string, but I guess not.
