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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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:
FinalRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + _
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows(1).Row - 1
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.
View 14 Replies View Relatedive 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'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")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Row = 1
col = 1
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:

[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.
A B C
AB 123 AAC
BA 131 AAC
AB 222 CAA
Res:
A B C
AB 123, 222 AAC, CAA

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 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).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have converted a table from PDF to Excel format....
The table consists of longf columns with rows of data in each column.
Once converted to Excel format, the columns become single cells with say 100 rows in each cell.
My question is this:Can I reformat these larger cells such that each row within the long single cell gets its own single cell.
This would enable me to copy paste the data into a spreadsheet and avoid the data entry....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to format (colour fill) C1 when H1 contains the word "Bills"
I've tried to "use a formula to determine which cells to format" but it keeps using absolute references ($H$1).
Ideally I'd like to apply the "format" to the entire column C.
I did think I'd be able to use OFFSET but it's not working.
I have a worksheet that I've applied conditional formatting to which works very nicely apart from when I use the formatting and apply it to a cell based on the contents of another.
What I don't understand is when I put a formula in cell b1 to read =$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?
i can't seem to figure this one out.
I attached a file showing how i am trying to format data (the second tab).
The big issue is the counting to format. (the formatting itself is obviously easy.)
The number of columns is not always standard so i need to count for it.
the number of rows in each "room number" is also not always standard, which means i also need to count for those.
If anyone has had experience trying to do something like this i would appreciate the help.
i know it is possible because i had one that someone had given me years ago, unfortunately i lost it in a hard drive failure...also years ago.
if it isn't obvious what i am trying to do, let me know and i will try to be clearer.
I have a spreadsheet that retrieves data from a 3rd party app/database. The data that is returned has two dates..
ie..
1/1/051.31.4
1/1/051.31.4
1/2/051.31.5
1/2/051.31.5
1/3/051.32.6
1/3/051.30
etc..
What I would like to see is..
1/1/051.32.8
1/2/051.33.0
1/3/051.32.6
Date range varies, but usually there are two dates retrieved. Date is pulled and display within A2:A700 Range.
I have data in excel that has some information the same with a unique field. See below:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
[code]...
I want it to consolidate all of the like information but add on the codes in separate columns like this:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
Code 2
Code 3
Code 4
[code]...
Also, sometimes the same code is used multiple times but i want any duplicate codes to show as separate codes.

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.
