I need to convert a date into a serial number. The serial number must return the format DDDYYNN where DDD is the day of the year, YY is the year, and NN is the sequential build number. As an example, if 10 units are built on 2/6/2013, the serial numbers would be 0371301, 0371302 ...0371310. Cell A1 would contain the current date (2/6/13) in this example. Column B1 - B10 would be the sequential serial numbers generated by the formula.
View 3 RepliesI was just wondering what is the formula to convert a date serial number back to an actual date?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following code to search for serial numbers.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Message, Title, Default, SearchString
Message = "Enter Serial Number" ' Set prompt.
Title = "Find Serial Number" ' Set title.
Default = "" ' Set default.
' Display message, title, and default value.
SearchString = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
'SearchString = "Rob"
Set S = Sheets.Application
For Each S In Application.Sheets
With S.Range("A1:IV65536")
Set f = .Find(SearchString, MatchCase:=True, LookAt:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not f Is Nothing Then
f.Offset(, 3) = Date
Exit For
End If
End With
Next S
End Sub
I would like to amend this so that (a) if the serial number is not found I get a message box saying "Serial number not found" and (b) if the serial number is found, I would like it to highlight the relevant row (after inserting the date).
I maintain a class register in Excel to monitor student attendance. The first row shows the date of the class in the form dd-mm.
I need to identify all dates which fall on a Monday and thought that if I custom formatted a new row as "dddd" and enter the formula =DAY(cell ref) into the cells of this new row it would achieve this- I could easily spot the Mondays for the period under review.
What I'm finding, however, is that the formula seems to incorrectly state that 16th September 2008 is a Monday whereas it's actually a Tuesday- utterly bizarre!
I can get a fix simply by modifying the =DAY() formula by adding 1 to my formula [ie =DAY(A1)+1] but am wondering is this a "so called known issue" with Excel or has anyone else come across it? I have never previously come across this and consider myself to be an above average competency level user of the application.
I need to lookup the last date coupled to a serial number but with vlookup it takes the first serial number from the top of the database. Is this at all possible?

I have a macro which copies the values from one cell to another. But, while copying the macro changes the date format to a serial number and this doesnot happen all the times. Below is the code I have. I want the macro to automatically convert the date from from serial number to dd/mm/yyyy. I tried quite a different ways, but none of them seems to work.

I have searched high and low for a macro that can move cell values to other worksheet based on a variable serial number. I have had limited luck with my search but nothing quite reflects my needs. Any help or suggestions would be great. The way that I envision it to work is simple to say but to hard for me to figure out. I must add that I am fair to good with macros; I am using Windows XP and Excel 2003.
Here is the concept:
-I am trying to track several vehicles, their status and there general locations using a variable serial number and an excel macro. The macro would execute the calculated data on sheet “My Taxi Cars” and the results would appear on a separate worksheet called “Location” that is in the same workbook. Please see attached.
-The serial number is comprised of a cell range starting at A2 thru L2 and then concatenates in M2 it would look something like this 123N1110011011. This serial number would allow me to do simple long-range analysis for each of the vehicles. Also in theory at the end of 30-day period I could “replay” my data.
The Breakdown for the alpha numeric serial reads like this:
1) The 123 is the number of the cab.
2) The “N” is for North, etc. and it would equate to a range of cells on a separate worksheet (“Location”).
3) The Ones and Zeros are just simple yes or no answers to the common questions in the Garage at work.
Once the macro is executed the result would be the taxis number (taxi number only, the rest of the number is stripped off) being placed the correct location based off the serial number. I have no idea if this is possible and I would like to thank you in advance for your help. Thanks.
I understand that there are about 1024 different combination's for a binary number that has ten place values. Maybe the answer is to use VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP, but then that changes my analysis scheme. But if you can just help point my nose in the right direction or show me with one example I can take it the rest of the way.
That is what my spreadsheet looks like. I have about 130 in the sheet I'm working on now. A is my date cell, B is my total for that date, C is the cell I have made for the =Month(serial_number). The problem i'm having is how do I get it to not put a number in my "C" cell when there isn't a month present?
This sheet will change weekly, so I've went down to 300 with my month formula. When entering the formula in the cells that do not have the month, it automatically inserts a 1 that throws the count off for my entire sheet. How can I leave the code for my month in without having it add a number when there's no month?
I want excel formula to calculate the sum the value of partused depends upon serialno repeats where repeats of end of serial no i want result at end of every multiple serial no end cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do with this spreadsheet project,
On the "Master" tab, I would paste in the newest information received from our system weeklywhich is around 2600 rows. I want to then compare the Master sheet to the other tabs and if there is a new Serial Number present in column I, then add that row of data to the next available row at the bottom to the correct tab.
The Orange tabs Fleet Volume PC, Fleet Volume BW, Fleet Volume Duplex will house all countries and all serial numbers but Fleet Volume Color tab will only have Color Serial Numbers for all countries, column J on the Master tab.
So, the same will goes for the USA Volume and CAN Volumes tab, only those serial numbers for that country will falls in these tabs and color only will go in the color tabs. There are 14 other tabs missing from this workbook with other countries, just removed to keep size of file within limits.
From my workbook, rows 29 to 33 on the Master tab are new serial numbers.
Also, I want to highlight the data on the Master, after comparing this Master tab to the other tabs and within the Master highlight in yellow the cells that have new updated information!

I'm having some trouble with copying dates from certain worksheets into new worksheets. When the data is pasted into the new worksheet, the date changes by four years. Somehow, the process of copying and pasting is reducing the serial number by 1462 units (days).
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a security restriction to prevent copyright breaches. There's a way of getting around it, but I'm curious as to why this is happening. The dates copy and paste correctly into the existing worksheet, but not a new one. An example is attached and the dates are in columns C & D.
My dates are coming up in serial format even though I have the cells formatted to date. It doesn't matter which date format I select they all remain as serial dates.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI use software that exports date/time stamps in the format of: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss.s
I like to keep the data in this general format so that we can keep it consistent and it can be useful to others using other software.
I recently had to do some date/time stamp manipulations where I added 61 days to a dataset because the data was erroneously set to a diferent calendar. (Still don't know how that happened but it isn't relevent to this issue) When I set up a formula to add 61 days, it appears that it automatically converted it to the excel serial date/time format before adding the 61 days. Now I have a column of data that is mostly general format but has this portion in serial format. How can I get the serial format changed back to general so that the entire column is in the same format?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to make continuing serial numbers in excel in order to print labels to be able to track my deliveries. i know i can drag the fill cursor to automatically make it go the next number. however i also want my serial number should represent the month and the day the invoice was printed.

column a (Jan 01) column b (Jan 02 ) column c (Jan 03)
a1-01-01 a1-02-01 a1-03-01
a1-01-02 a1-02-02 a1-03-02

The third number represents the invoice
How can i make that when i pul the cursor down it should continue with the invoice number
However when i continue right it should move the day number?

View 6 Replies View Relatedeach time a button is clicked I want a new ref number to be produced and displayed on my userform.
I can't however create the code to generate this ref number.
In column A of my 'sweeplog' worksheet is where I want the ref number to be placed. This ref number is simply made up of today's date - in format ddmmyy eg 240408 for today 24th April 2008 then add the number '1' if its a new date or the next number in coulumn A if not.
for example In column A I have these 3 ref numbers
A2 = 2404081 (24th April 2008 plus 1 as this is the first ref used today)
A3 = 2404082 (as above but with 2 added)
A4 = 2404083 (as above but with 3 added)
now tomorrow the next ref number that would be shown in column A (after the user clicks the button) would be as follows.....
A5 = 2505081 (25th April 2008 plus 1 as this is first ref used on 25th)
I am able to get this unique ref number to show in my userform but can't figure out how to produce the code to generate it
