Data From Text To Number And An If Then Formula
May 4, 2009
is there a way to highlight a whole column to change the data from text to a number? When I initially download the data into the Bank Data Download tab, the information is in a text format, I believe for formulas to work, the data should be in number format, correct? Is there an easy way to select a whole column and change the format? If I highlight a column and do the format cells and change the data to a number, it does not take effect unless I click on each individual cell and click Enter. Is there any easier way?
The second part of my call for help is I would like for the data to flow from the Bank Download tab, into the Disbursement Summary tab. The identifiers would be the Customer Reference Number, column N of the Bank Data Download tab, and match to the corresponding day and column in the Disbursement Summary tab.

I am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
Code:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0))>0,1))
).
The answer should be 4,457.

I need a formula to copy a number stored as a text to the number.
I have a formula in, let's say on Sheet1, cell A1: =IF($M$3,TEXT(N7,"0%"),TEXT(N7,"0.0%"))
I then copy this cell to another sheet, let's say Sheet2, cell A1 =Sheet1!A1. I have then have a bar chart linked to this cell, but it's reading it as text and no bars are appearing in the chart - even though the cell in the second sheet is formatted as a number!
FYI - my work around is to link my chart to the underlying data in the formula above, in this case, N7. But then I'm not getting the whole number (%) or decimal (%) that I want when the value is displayed in the chart.

This is probably a pretty basic question, but I can't find an answer in Excel help or on the interwebs. I have an IF formula and I'd like 0 returned if the statement is false (e.g. =IF(A1<>0, A1, 0)); however, I would like the 0 returned as text. I've tried the TEXT function and using ` in different places, but all to no avail.

I'm trying to figure out a formula to be able to look at a column of txt and if it finds the word total it need to output the number at the column next to it. If the word total isnt in the text then it should leave it blanks (see below). Basically I want a column that pulls only the totals amounts in the column.

I have a sheet that uses all vlookup formulas to populate the cells, and then some basic math calculation are done in seperate columns with the results. The problem is, even though the rest of sheet works fine one column is being read as text. I've tried many things to get Excel to read the column as numbers but nothing is working. So far I've tried everything I've found in Ozgrid (Paste special using add and multiply, using a working column)and the simple formatting things built into Excel, but nothing is working. All I need is for the column to be read as a number.

I can get only so far, then stumped:3 columns (Hours, Rate, Amount). "Hours" is a 'List' with data from from another sheet. Data is named 'Worked'. 'Worked' is all 2 decimal numeric (represents total time worked), except first item called "Live In"
IF 'Hours' is "Live In", I can use: =IF(A1="Live In", SUM(B1*1))
How can I make it conditional so that if it's not "Live In", then it will SUM(A1*B1)?. SideNote: 'Worked' LIST has total time with minutes expressed as 1/4 of hour (i.e., 1.25 = 1 hour, 15 minutes).

I have created an online survey, and people choose ten words (skills) out of 24 possible. Please see screenshot. I would like a formula that does this in layman's terms: "If I see the word "Cooperation" in the source cell, then I'll put "03b" into the target cell; but if I see "Managing" in the source cell instead, I'll put "21a" in the target cell, etc."
I've tried a few IF / Then statements, with no success. Screenshot shows the source cell upper right, and the ten target cells below left with two rows of sample results. I'm guessing the same formula can be in each of the 10 target cells.

I have a form in work which acts as a tick sheet for tasks complete on a construction site. When a task is complete I copy & paste from a key of dates i.e. week ending 11.05.15, this allows me to see what week a task was complete.
Generally I only marked off tasks which were 100% complete but my manager wants me to enter the % of the task complete also, i.e. 80% in the box.
So my question is how can I have the formula assume that any box with a date & shading is 100% and any cell with a number i.e. 80 is only 80% complete. I need it to monitor around 150 cells and give me the overall % complete based on what i have discussed.

I am wondering if I could have a formula be used against a certain row/cell containing a certain "phrase" or "number" for instance
I want E1 to read something like this = (row containing item "FF32105") (the given row from the previous statement) ( the input column ex. B) (the input value ex. *6)
Essential I want to be able to copy and past a sales forecast and have the formulas automatically (listed below the pasted forecast) calculate purchase needs. The issue is that if our forecast one month has a certain item and then the next does not then they will end up on different lines after the copy/paste. We have over 500 items so a manual adjustment would be time consuming..
Is there a possible way for the formulas to "find" the correct line to start calculating data?

I have been using this function to count the number of unique text values in a data set:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(B2:B10,B2:B10,0),MATCH(B2:B10,B2:B10,0))>0,1))
It works great if I want to count number of unique text values overall. However, I want to count the occurrences of unique text values if they meet specific criteria. (Like a countifs function would if it could count unique text).

I am looking for a way to show the character location number of a text file, possibly in the first row or a macro that I can run at any given location that will give me the location # I am currently viewing.
Currently, when I open the file I can see the character # at the opening screen (see attached file) but they disappear when it actually converts. I would like to be able to keep the character location ruler once the file is opened in Excel so I don't have to manually count.

I have a very big list in one column with the customers name and its account number. I am looking for a way to extract just the number from the cell.
I am aware of the 'fit data to columns' option but some of the customer names have an inconsistant number of spaces to assign a delimiter.

I am looking for a simple formula that would look at column A2-A100 and calculate the whole number for the number of the week I am on. So in cell K22, I would like it to add up the A column and spit out a number 4, then on Monday when I add a new record I would like it to automatically update to a 5; indicating the 5th week I have been tracking the data. This number is needed to calculate the average amount in a work week accurately and automatically in cells K20 & K21. New weeks start on Monday and end on Friday. No data will ever have a date of a Saturday or Sunday. I have colored the cells currently to indicate what the number should be. There is 4 alternating colors now. The color coding is just for reference and will not be used going forward. Data will be entered weekly indefinately.

simplifying a formula which gathers data from about 50 worksheets from within the same work book.
The data to be gathered is in the same cell on each worksheet and is simply a number but i want the SUM of theses numbers carried forward to another worksheet. Each worksheet is named by date i.e. sheet 1 is named "16 June 2014" and sheet 2 is named "23 June 2014" and so on until "30 March 2015" (Each sheet represents one full week Monday - Sunday).

I have a range of 30 cells in a row. From that row there are groups of cells that have data that might be 1-7 cells populated in a row and in between these groups are blank cells in the row. I need to see what is the highest number of cells in a continuous row that contain data, what the mode is for continuous cell counts, and what is the average value for the data from the continuous cells. The average is a nice to have but not entirely necessary as most cell data will be fairly similar and I can get a close enough average just by knowing the average number of cells that contain data in a row. I have to do this calculation for about 1000 rows of individual data so its important a formula fit in one row.
Almost need a count function to count starting with each cell and then stopping at the first no no value it finds. Then it would show those counts and I could run a formula to pick the highest count and also show the mode of counts.
I will let the experts at it!, my weak mind could not think this one through. I thought something to do with MATCH for a while but no go from what I could do.

I have a workbook with two sheets: Sheet 2 (CustomerVehicleInfo) contains a client database. Sheet 1 is kind of a virtual work order where the mechanic enters the name of a client (in A1) and all his info pops up in cells B4-F4, according to Sheet 2.
I used a simple VLOOKUP for that:
=IF($A$1<>"",VLOOKUP($A$1,CustomerVehicleInfo!$A:$E,1),"")
Same formula for cells C4-F4.
Problem is that the client data needs to convert from a formula to static text and next time the mechanic enters a new name in A1 it needs to jump to the next row, starting at B5.

I have text in column A of either "xxx" or "yyy"
I'm looking for a formula so that If
A1: "xxx" then B1: $100
Or if
A1: "yyy" then B1: $150
So when I write "xxx" or "yyy" in a cell of Col A
then $100 or $150 shows up in adjacent cell in Col B automatically.
I will need to sum the numbers later so Col B will need to be in number/accounting format.

What type of formula would resize a text box based on the input of two cells? Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
A1 - width (in inches)
A2 - height (in inches)
Converts the text box to that height & width.
This is for a sign request form I am creating that would give our requestors the ability to see the size layout of their sign and then input their text to match what they're looking for.

I'm using vlookup to find data, but the data is highlighted in different colours and I need this to appear as well as the data/text. Is there a way to do this? The data is individually highlighted with a specific RGB colour for each one and so far could not think of a way to do this. In the end there will be 81 RGB colours and text answers (just in case there is a limit, but if I had to I could break this down to 14 and less for each cell).

Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.
