Date Formatting - Combining Contents Of Two Columns
Mar 18, 2013
Date formatting. I have two columns first column is for the date (3/6/2013) and the second column is for the time (12:37:16 AM). I would like to combine the content of both columns to be like (2/11/2013 12:35:00 AM) .
I am using concatenate but I don't have any luck. How to combine the content of my two columns.
A list of stock symbols runs down one column. In the next column runs a list of the corresponding companies.
The companies are linked in the following fashion: http://www.smallcapinvestor.com/quotes?symbol=ug
For the above example, "ug" is the stock symbol for the company United Guardian.
My question: Is there a way to insert the text of a cell into a hyperlink? For example, how would I achieve this logic in Excel: http://www.smallcapinvestor.com/quotes?symbol=[CELL CONTENTS HERE]
Collapsing function: I want to select cells that I want merged, and have them COLLAPSE into the first cell selected calls Combining function: OR Select the cells I want merged, and allow me to pick a destination cell for the result COMBINE
I would like to add this functionality to all my spreadsheets in the future.
I have monthly reports that come to us from a Data Warehouse. They vary in size(row length). The problem is that the information in one column actually belongs in the next column (i.e. C to D). As this information in Column C is just an "offset" from Column D there is no issue with overwriting any data in column D. Manually, I could copy the columm and Paste Special, Skip Blanks, to column D.
I've been trying to do this in code as some reports can be fairly lengthy: As there are some blank rows, I've inserted this FinalRow procedure, to provide the size of each report:
However, in trying to use the FinalRow value in a "Copy the contents from Column C....Cells(20,3 to FinalRow, 3) and then PasteSpecial to Column D (Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=True) has not been productive. It keeps producing a number of Errors, in every way that I have tried to make this work.
If I have two columns which are lists of names, how do I make a new column which merges the names from each column into one list, and will refresh when new data is added to the two originals.
ive got columns of dates that i want to aggregate up into a single column of distinct dates. the dates columns are of varying length, some with gaps in the middle of the column, and some columns are blank. dates in teh columns may duplicate, but i only want distinct dates copied in the single column.
i cant do this by hand because there are dates in around 200 columns so i need a macro or way to do this quickly. ive attached a picture to explain the problem.
I'm working on a project that spans three sheets. A2:A151 of Sheet 1 and 2 is a list of names. The names may repeat and they probably won't fill all 150 rows. What I'd like to do with formulas is combine Sheet 1 and 2 into a single list in Column A of Sheet 3 without repeating names or showing blanks. I'm fine with multiple formulas and hiding columns, whatever needs to be done to make it work. Is this possible?
I'm trying to write some code to Hide columns if the first 3 characters of cells in a range equal the contents of another (formula equivalent would be something like this =IF((LEFT(A2,3))=A1,"HIDE COLUMN", "SHOW COLUMN"). I have gotten this far but cant get it to work;-
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Range, cell As Range
On Error GoTo ErrHandler Set r = Me.Range("B7:CG7")
For Each cell In r If cell.Value = "" And Left(cell.Value, 3) = cell(Row, col).Value Then cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = True Else cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Next ErrHandler: Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
[URL]...I was trying to use this thread's solution macro on my sheet that is only consolidating columns A, B, and C with a couple thousand lines and I've had it running for over an hour now. There hasn't been any errors but is there any particular reason that might be causing it to take longer than it should aside from having to go through a few thousand rows?
Basically, I only want 1 Version of data in Column B and any other rows that has a match in column B, i want to consolidate unique data from Columns A and C.
I have a spreadsheet in Excel 7 for a lifelong cashflow model. The main worksheet is called 'Projection' with ages in rows & income (from a variety of sources) and expenditure (of various kinds) in columns fed with data from the Input sheet.
On the 'Input' sheet I have a button called Format Graphs which controls the following macro:
This isn't absolutely necessary, but being able to do this easily would cut down on a lot of tedious jobs for me. Let's say I have a set of data like this (I tried to space it out as best I could to give the idea):
I am waaaaay in over my head here. I've not done any scripting/macro/vb/whatnot work in Excel, but I'm staring down a potential all-night project manually merging data.
I am trying to copy a column of cells from one sheet to another, but also want to keep all the formatting. The origin sheet has times, but when I copy these to the destination sheet they are displayed as decimal numbers (using the code snippet below). I can change these back to times by formatting the cells using the format painter after the macro completes but I would like the VBA to do this for me. (using 2002 SP3).
I'm trying to combine 2 cells: 1/1/09 and ABC. However, when I combine them the date keeps changing to a number. Is it possible to keep the date format?
I have a workbook where I track projects. Whenever I enter an update in the comments section for a particular project I enter the current date and the word UPDATE! into a column labelled Updated. The format should look like the following.
18-Aug-08
UPDATED!
As I have to do this on a regular basis I wanted to create a macro that would do this. I came up with the following.
I am combining information from two different cells to one cell using cell reference such as,(=B4&"/"&F5),B4 being a number and F5 the date. So my question is how to get the date to show as a date value and still have the other value remain unchanged. I have tried to use formating but will not work to keep the date. An example would be
I have a worksheet that I've applied conditional formatting to which works very nicely apart from when I use the formatting and apply it to a cell based on the contents of another.
What I don't understand is when I put a formula in cell b1 to read =$a1="yes" and format accordingly it works. So when I type in "YES" in to cell a1 ,cell b1 is highlighted. When I type in "NO" the B1 cell isn't highlighted which is what i would expect. IF however I delete what ever is in cell A1 the cell B1 is still highlighted.
Is there a function in Excel that allows you to combine non-numeric columns as a list?
For example, 91401 is a zip shared by three cities: Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and Valley Glen.
The data is in a workbook as three rows (each with 91401 as the first column, and cities listed individually:
91401 Van Nuys 91401 Sherman Oaks 91401 Valley Glen
I am eventually wanting to do a v-lookup with the zip, but the duplication is causing problems. I want the associated cities listed, but only want one row. The cities could be listed, separated by commas (preferably), like below:
91401 Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Valley Glen
The list of zips I have is several thousand long, so it's not practical for me to do it manually. Is there a "pivot table" of text that I could use?
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.
A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.
