View 5 RepliesI tried to make use of the indirect function but don't think this is the right type of formula to be used.
Essentially in column A..i have linked cell references
e.g = D2767
However, for the whole of the column I'd like to change the refs to =$D$2767, ALL in column A in one go.
I know that if you place the cursor in one cell immediately after the = sign and press F4 it automatically adds $ SIGNS TO THE CELL, which I find useful for V-lookups, but I obviously cannot do it (fill it) all the way down the column i'm using excel v7.
In addition or related how would I write an IF formula to read eg.
= IF (cell ref begins with C, then link and add PRECEDING AND FOLLOWING $ signs to all refs)?

The function "VAL" will return the value of a numerical string as a double. Is it possible to get a similar function that will return the value as a long.

I have a variable that is define as Double called STD. When i try to insert that variable in a formula the decimal sign (for me a comma "," because I'm Portuguese) gets converted to ";" (which is for me the separation sign for the expressions in excel formulas. ex: AND(A1>0;B1>0)=TRUE).

how to add a drop down list while using the excel form for data entry.
Basically I am trying to make it easy for a non technical person to add ebay items to a spreadsheet. This sheet is them used in sixbit software to upload to ebay.
All of these items will have some constants (such as length of listing or listing type etc) but selected from a small list i.e they can ONLY be certain times or types for example . So a list is very important to make sure there are no errors but also for speed.
The sheet has a number of headings so when I select the form function in excel the box comes up with the desired entry boxes just fine but I cant get a list to select from even when I have already created a drop down list in excel sheet.
1. The Text to column function and separate values by the ";" sign
2. Then separate the first column ( which contains both date and time ) into their separate
columns.
3. The 2nd step will result in values such as "mm/dd/yyyy 0:00" and "hh:mm:00" followed by
an "AM" or "PM" which is unnecessary. The code should clean up the resulting date and
time into "mm/dd/yyyy" and "hh:mm" respectively.
4. Flip the rows upside down so that time is decreasing downwards.
The resulting spreadsheet should contain 6 columns and should look like:
12/5/200810:421.266491.26651.266091.26629
12/5/200810:431.266291.266431.266041.26609
12/5/200810:441.266091.266131.265641.26593
12/5/200810:451.265931.266681.265741.26604

I have a spreadsheet where column E needs to be filled with an amount depending on whether another cell in column F has either a + or - sign.
For example:
F2 has "+ ACH PreAuthorized", G2 has "322.1". I would like to have cell E2 fill in the amount "+322.1". So in cell E2, if F2 has a plus sign, then put in the amount in E2. If it has a - sign, put in the amount from G2 into E2 but put a - sign in front of the amount. If there is no sign at all, put a zero or leave blank.

I've already tried resizing the rows and columns to their respective maximums but it doesn't seem to work.
In some of my formulas, I need to re-enter the contents of the cell in order for a formula to compute.
For example, I am doing some math on a cell whose original contents are "10:21:00 AM" The formula returns a #NUM!. If I retype 10:21 in the cell and hit enter, the formula will now calculate properly. I have reformatted the entire column several times so that it is a custom hh:mm format. The original content also shows as time so I don't think that it is a formatting issue.
My worksheet has about 20,000 rows and this only happens for about 100 of the rows. It is pretty time consuming to manually go fix each one. Any ideas what is going on here?
Earlier this morning I had a telephone call from a customer who uses a spreadsheet I created.
She explained that once she'd entered information into a cell [and clicked elsewhere] she couldn't then add to the former; rather, she had to click on the cell and type it all out again.
I assumed that, as an inexperienced excel user, she was unware of either double-clicking the cell, or selecting and pressing F2. I explained these methods to her.
She later emailed me with this:
"Further to our phone conv this morning I have just tried double-clicking on cells but it deletes everything in the cell rather than lets you edit what is there – F2 does the same thing. This applies to any cell, whether it is text, date or number."
I've been using excel for a while now, and I've never come across such a thing before.
Has anyone else? Could it be to do with her own excel settings? (other customers have had no such problem)
What I'm trying to do is enter a value/text into a cell - say (A1). After I enter the value/text I would like to have a new tab populated with all the information on the current sheet and the tab name referencing cell A1. I tried running a few different scenarios using macros and have come up short. I want to be able to do this multiple times with different values/text. For example if I enter B606123 into cell A1 I want a tab to be created named B606123. Then later I might want to add B606096 and have that created without effecting B606123.

I have been looking for a way to enter the folder where the excel file is located into a cell.
I have seen you can add the whole path (=CELL("filename") ), however I am only wanting the 'last' folder it is in. For Example:
C:docsfolderdataClass D4John WayneProfile.xlsx
Would enter "John Wayne" into cell. The cell is namely the "name" cell.
I work in a school and a teacher is wanting a couple of different excel files for each student (600 students) I am hoping that I can put the files in a folder with the students name as the folder. That way at least its only 600 names and not 600x7! The other details are similar on a lot of the files such as class (this is also one of the folders in the path).
I have worksheet that contain values in column E and G and the total in column K. E and G are unlocked for manual input and column K contains the formula for the total and is locked. From time to time a certain row will not be applicable and before I started locking the cells in column K i would just put "not applicable". Now that it's lock I can't do that. My only option now is to put O in column E and G but I would rather put "not applicable" in column K. Is there a way around this. I was thinking of something along the line of a macro that would unlock the worksheet input the text and re lock it. The macro would have to lunch when a locked cell is selected or have a button that would launch the macro an would prompt for which cell the text would be entered. Is this possible.
