Day Format To Text

Jun 4, 2007

I have a date format to show Day of Week ( DOW )
using format: [$-C09]dddd in Cell A1 if Formula is = NOW ()

But if want to use cell B1 to show the day of week FROM A1, but in text as if I typed the DOW.

The reason is, when a new day occurs and I try to use A1 in email for example, it will show up as numerical date and not the actual worded DOW.

How can I convert the DOW from A1 to show the day as if it was a typed DOW in cell B1 ?

Save Number As Text In Txt Format Wo Changing The Format

Mar 1, 2007

In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.

First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.

Convert A Date Format To A Text Format

Oct 6, 2008

Example......

In D2 I have: =B2
In D3 I have manually input: (space)3-08

As you can see the CONCATENATE puts the "39569" date in A2 But the second line puts the text date as I prefer. What I would like to do is put in a formula or macro in D2 and down that will change the "Mar-08" to "3-08" so it CONCATENATEs correctly to column A. Simply: I'm trying to avoid manually inputing the text version "3-08" (or whatever M-Y) into D2 down a hundred or so rows!

VBA: Format Amts Into Text $ 9.99 Type Format

Feb 13, 2008

Need to create a set of aligned text amts from various cells...Tried Format but unable to get right combination...I've looked at many threads and most seem related to getting amt from text instead of reverse.

Cell may contain nothing or a monetary amt, negative or positive. Output needs to be in format of "$9,999.99-" or similar...with leading zeros suppressed but a min of "$ 0.00" showing, so that above/below amts with be decimal point aligned in a fixed font situation.

I've almost gotten my routine finsihed but this is last remaining obstacle.

Converting? Format To Text Format

Sep 15, 2009

On the attached example i have a list of fractions (in the format ?/???). However, i have a problem when the fraction is 6/4 or 4/6 as excel rounds the nominator and de-nominator down to the lowest value so these fractions become 3/2 and 2/3. For these two fractions only i don't want this rounding down to happen.

I am open to any suggestions, but i was thinking of some vba where on pressing a button it would run a macro that went through the cells in the column and if the cell value is 1.5 (3/2) then format the cell as text and enter the value"6/4". For the 2/3 fraction, i think you may need to say if the cell is greater than 0.66 and less than 0.67 because this would possibly be harder to exact as the number of decimal places involved.

Insert Text In Front Of Text OR Number - User Defined Format

Sep 24, 2008

I can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.

Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.

I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?

How To Format All Caps Text Into Properly Capitalized Text

Aug 8, 2014

I have a few tasks which I have been doing manually because I do not know if there is a way to accomplish these tasks automatically via some excel formulas.

My first task requires me to take an address, for example: 1234 CAMBIE STREET, and format it such that it is properly capitalized (only capital letters in the front of words) like this: 1234 Cambie Street

My second task involves taking an address, for example: 1234 1st Avenue W, and rearranging it such that the direction is in front of the street name like so: 1234 W 1st Avenue. What makes this task potentially even more complicated is that not all the addresses I am working with require the rearrangement, so I can't simply have a formula that puts the last group of characters in front of the first group of characters because that may screw up addresses that don't require this formatting.

My third task demands that 2 columns of names are combined into one column, while also simultaneously placing a "&" between the names. For example: Jonathan Parkinson | Sarah Parkinson turns into Jonathan Parkinson & Sarah Parkinson. Now I do understand how to use a simple combining formula (=a1&" & "&b1) but it isn't that simple. The columns are not all filled with names. Some pairs may have no names, whereas others may have only one name. Because of this, the formula I used as an example will result in many instances where all I see is a "&", and other instances where I see the first name, followed by an unnecessary "&".

So far, for the majority of these problems, I've been using a combination of manual data input, and the replace function, but I really do hope there is a faster and better way to go about these tasks.

Format Into Text/ Number Value

May 15, 2009

I have a data set which is in a date format of MM/DD/YY. I have converted it to YYYYMMDD. I now need to copy and permanently past the values so that the value within the cell always reads to result of the date in the format of YYYYMMDD.

Example:
-current = 07/01/08
-new format = 20080701 (cell still reads 07/01/08)
-would like the cell to read 20080701

My main goal is to bring this into Access and use this dataset with another data set, which uses the YYYYMMDD format.

Text Format To Minutes?

Mar 1, 2014

I have delay accounting software that can dump to Excel, but it puts the duration in the format "xdxhxm". It will display only as many digits as required, ie if it's 5minutes it will show "0d0h5m". If it's an hour and 45 minutes, it will show "0d1h45m" etc. I'm looking for a formula that will convert these to minutes so I can sum the events.

I found a similar formula, but it only worked if there was a space between number and letter and I don't understand the formulas well enough to fix that.

Changing Text Format

Sep 18, 2007

Currently we do a lot of report crunching using Crystal Reports. We will then dump the data into an Excel sheet to run varying pivot tables or databases off of.

Often we will have a field that the formatting will not match up to anything in Excel. You can change the cell to Text, General etc. The main problem associated with this is running VLOOKUPs. The item we type in will not match up to the data imported from Crystal. We have to F2, the new data before it will match up which is a pain considering there can be anywhere from 30-1000 rows.

I'm trying to solve this problem in 2 ways. First can anyone tell me an easier way to do handle this?
Second, after trying many other things I thought about a macro that would automate the F2 process.

Custom Format For TEXT

Jan 7, 2009

I have a column in my sheet which I need to be displayed with dashes.

Excample: 123456 -> 12-235-6 (just an example)
But once in a while in the code is a letter like: 123A56 which obviously I need to be displayed like 12-3A5-6

But whatever I do, nothing seems to work.
Another cell with Left()-Mid()-Right() is no option for me....

Dates In Text Format

Oct 26, 2006

I am also new to vba (am teaching myself with the help of the guru's on this site!). My problem is to do with dates. I have created a variable in VBA that reads a cell with the value of a date in text format, for example SEP2006. I want to use this value to paste into another excel cell. When I do it actually creates it as a numeric date when I really want to just use it as text, "SEP2006". I have been looking at this for a while and I'm not sure if it's a case of "can't see the wood for the trees". A small example of my code is:

Sub DateValue()
Dim dateValue As String
Range("D2").Select
datevalue=activecell.text
Range("a3", [b65536].End(xlUp).offset(0,1))= datevalue
End Sub

Insert And Format A Text Box

Feb 23, 2007

I would like to add a menu option that will run a subroutine to automatically add a formated text box to the worksheet at the selected cell location. The box must have the text centered, bold, underlined in Arial 10, and no border. I use this method to create a flow chart and would like to make it easier. At the moment I create three different text boxes and then copy them to the clipboard. Then I just click each one, drag it into position and edit the text. I tried recording a macro while adding the text box to the worksheet, but it didn't record anything except the cell selection.

this list will need to be typed in, and I have tried to make excel launch a box in which the user types in the text. But that didnt work. I know how to wrap the cell but I cant get each action on a new line easily?
