Data Converted To Scientific Notation
Nov 3, 2008I work for a company that exports data from a website into Excel.
So here's my problem:
The data is usually Part Numbers using numbers and letters. When a Part Number is, for example, 248E12 we have this reaccurring issue. Importing it into Excel automatically converts it to scientific notation (ie. 248E+12 or 2.48E+14 to be exact). "Format Cell" doesn't convert it back because it was auto-converted when "exported". I need a way of fixing this problem without going line by line and doing the math to convert it myself.
I don't have time for that. Some of my files have thousands of lines.
Automatically Formatted As Scientific Notation
Dec 27, 2006I'm trying to filter a long list to look for specific employee numbers. The employee numbers are so long that they have to be formatted as text or they are automatically formatted as scientific notation (they are 18 digits long). For some reason this is causing the filter not to work properly.
Employee ID

Conversion Of Scientific Notation To Text Not Working
Mar 13, 2013I have a large file with account numbers in Number format. Before I can import the data into a database the account numbers need to be converted to Text. I use Text(A1,0) to do this in a large file. The data then gets copied into a new Import file. When the data gets copied the account cell reverts back to scientific notation for the long account strings. The import file account column is formated for Text. The only fix is to then double click on each account that is in scientific notation to convert it back to text.
Is there another text formula I can use?
Stop Auto Format To Scientific Notation
Dec 29, 2008I run a macro that imports a table from web page:
[url]
I import only the table with no formatting.
Excel tries to be helpful, and formats some of the cells in scientific notation.
I have tried to format the column to the "Text" format prior to the import with
Columns(2).NumberFormat = "@"
This does not work. If you import the table you can see that rows 1405, 1406, 1407, 1408 all have the same scientific notation value. Their true values should be 0E0, 0E4, 0E8, 0E9 respectively.
There are quite a few other instances in the column when a text value has "E" for the second character that Excel will format on its own.
Forcing Excel To Show Numbers In Scientific Notation To A Constant Power?

May 11, 2006I developed a timesheet interface using Excel. I am creating an setup-like phase for when the time sheet is first opened which determines file path names and what not. I basically I have 2 questions which basically tie into each other:
1. How can I ensure that the code only runs the first time the workbook is opened?
2. Is there anyway to store the data (for example the pathname to a certain file) without storing the actual data on a spreadsheet for it to be pulled from? I guess I could use a seperate file but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Scientific Data: Timestamp
Oct 25, 2008I am attempting to enter Timestamp data from a movie in this format:
minute:second.millisecond
When I enter a frame timestamp of 18 minutes, 42 seconds, and 5 milliseconds, excel auto formats this data to 12:18:43AM.
This is not what I want. I have attempted multiple types of cell formats in an attempt to enter this data without auto formatting. One requirement for the format is the ability to subtract two of the times for a change in time measurement. I have tried every setting under the "Time" format list, as well as custom formats, which fail to subtract.
Permanently Linking Cells Between Different Files?
Jul 22, 2013I would like to link two cells which are in different workbooks / Files. Now this is something I already know how to do, however there is complication and I am not sure if the following is possible. I would like to link these cells so that they stay linked even if the file name of the source cell changes. I am not sure if thats possible or how to go about it if it is. This sort of thing is possible (although a different concept) in the Solid Modeling program Solidworks. Often times assemblies are created using a number of files. When the filename of one subcomponent is changed, or the file is relocated the final assembly will no longer work. So a method has been created to automatically update the link if the file is moved or renamed.
I would like to be able to do this in excel. ( I should note that I was only using Solidworks as a reference, it really has nothing to do with what I want out of excel, the data will not have anything to do with solidworks or its files, it will be simple numbers letters and formulas that I wish to link between workbooks)
Can A Worksheet_Change Range Permanently Adjusts Itself
Dec 15, 2008Working on a simple worksheet_change issue for someone, the thought came, "after this code runs" it would be good if the TargetRange changed to no longer include the rows it had run on already. This way, if you later accidentally deleted/edited a cell that already had data, it wouldn't cause the macro to run again and do the paste job again?
Anyway, here is the code original

Aug 24, 2007I am attempting to run a macro that will make conditional formatting I have applied permanent, and then remove the conditional formatting from the cell. My application for this is a master fantasy football cheatsheet, with multiple columns of the same player names ranked in different orders. When a player is drafted I type their name in cell A1, and conditional formatting is setup on so that name (presumably once in each column) will be highlighted/bolded/etc. For example, if I typed "LaDainian Tomlinson" in cell A1, I would be able to find his name in each list/column (from the conditional formatting that will make it stand out), and then run the macro to make this formatting permanent (show he has been drafted), and remove the conditional formatting code, leaving the effects. I found a macro online to do this at the following link, but am having some issues:
When I run the macro on any cells not containing conditional formatting, I get the message: "The formatting based on the conditions in the range (whatever is highlighted) has been made standard for those cells and the conditional formatting has been removed."
This messsage is precisely what I am trying to do, however, when I run the macro on a cell with conditional formatting (when it would actually be beneficial), I get "Run-time error '13' Type Mismatch"
When I go to debug, the error appears to be on the line

Excel Reading Numbers As Scientific Formulas?
Dec 11, 2012When I download data from server side into excel, specific number such as "83437E207" gets converted into scientific number such as "8.3437E+211".
Is there a way to format excel to always to read numeric data as numbers only.
Stop Scientific Format For Large Numbers
Nov 21, 2006Im importing figures into column G of my worksheet, and I need a code so it automatically adds a "0" to the start of each row in column G plus format it.
For example, im pasting in 970702090341 but its showing as 9.70702E+11.
Once I format the cell to 'number' and 0 decimal places it looks fine, but want to save the hassle of doing it each time. Plus I need a zero at the start.
Is there a code possible for this?
AutoFiltered Subtotals Permanently Displayed (Baseball Statistics)
May 8, 2014I am tracking baseball batting statistics. The first column in each row is the player's name and the next column is the date. Several columns of statistics follow. I enter the batting stats game by game. I know I can use the SUBTOTAL function combined with AutoFilter to view each player's statistics individually totalled, but what I'd like is to see that subtotal line permanently displayed for each player.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUserforms: User Macro Permanently Changes Userform Values
Feb 3, 2010There is a macro i wrote that assigns buttons to different tasks, and it changes the name of each button to whatever task the user utilizes it for. I would like for the changes to be permanent, and i can do it if i can just keep the information in the userform. So, the most logical solution is to permanently change the names of the buttons in the userform, but this has to be accomplished by the users choice, which means i don't do it through the vbe. How do you change a button's caption permanently through macro?

Number Stored As Text - Make Column As Numeric Permanently
Nov 29, 2011I have sent a data sheet template to my client in which they paste their data, based on this data sheet analysis will be done automatically in next sheet "Summary".
Whenever they paste product code, vlookup is not working since the product code contains few are numeric (shows: "Number Stored as Text"). I advised my client to go with "Text to Column" and "Delimited" to change it as numeric. But my client feels this method is tedious one. Is there any alternate way to make that column as numeric permanently?

Meaning Of Bracket Notation
Feb 9, 2007The following code was posted in another thread:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim a, v, x, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Scheduled Courses")
a = ws. Range("a2", ws.[a65536].End(xlUp)).Value
With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
For Each v In a
If Not IsEmpty(v) And Not .exists(v) Then
.Add v, Nothing
End If
Next
x = .keys
End With
With Me.ComboBox1
.Clear ' clear the listbox content
.List = x
.ListIndex = 0 ' select the first item
End With
End Sub
How are the brackets used in the 4th line? I have not seen this notation before. Is this some kind of a shorthand for a Range("A65536") reference?

Referring To Range() Using Shortcut Notation
Sep 23, 2008I have noticed in many of the Excel help files that the developers liked to use shortcut notation for Range reference in VBA.
For example, Range("A1:B10") would be [A1:B10].
I was doing a bit of testing with this, and was not able to make the shortcut notation work with a variable. Does the shortcut method have the capabilities to do the equivalent of Range("A1:B" & LR)?
If it does have that capability, is it just due to force of habit that we always use Range() to refer to ranges, or would there be a more in-depth reason.

Code Converting Text To Exponential Notation
Dec 26, 2009I have a bit of code that is grabbing only the first 9 positions of an alpha-numeric string. The problem I am running into is that when the alpha-numberic value contains an "E", the code turns it into an exponential number in error.
For example, I have the following in column G: 01877E107000. When I run the code, it turns into an alpha-numeric value. The result should be 01877E107 (in column K). I tried using the text function within the code.
Referencing Sheet Using Cell Notation In Range
Aug 12, 2012repTot = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Worksheets("Revenue").Range(Cells(xx, 65), Cells(xx, 65 + moNum)))
I am trying to debug the above line of code (moNum is just a variable the tells me how many months to extend the range to the right inorder to get year to date sums).
I have gotten to the point that it will run error free if "Revenue" is the Active worksheet when I run the line, but if I am on any other sheet it throws an "Run=time '1004' Application-defined or object-defined error" error. And if I change the range from cell notation to Column-Row, the issue goes away as well.
Excel 2007 :: Macro Switching Formula Into RC Notation
Oct 17, 2011I have a series of macros I have built to automate some report manipulation at my office. One of the macros I built inserts formulas into specific columns. When I run this macro, all the formulas, save one, are populated perfectly into the column they need to be in. This particular formula is swiched over to R1C1 Reference Notation.
In the workbook I built the macro in, it inserts the formula in the correct notation. When I run the macro in a different workbook, this one formula is converted to RC Notation and then is displayed as text (since the workbook is not set to the R1C1 Reference style option).
Is there a bug in my VBA code? If so, how can I correct this?
I use Excel 2007. Macros are saved in my Personal.xlsb workbook. All other forumlas populated by the macro work correctly.
