Excel 2010 :: Removing Comma From A Cell Formatted As General
Mar 10, 2013
I have a set of data that has a company name using commas to separate INC and LLC from the company name. e.g. Acme Explosives, LLC
I'm using Excel 2010, and when I try to use the find/replace functionality to find commas, I get an error message saying "We couldn't find what you were looking for. Click Options for more ways to search.
Short of editing all the fields manually (only about 300, so not too bad), I'm hoping there is a simple way to replace these commas with nothing.

I am having a terrible time with Excel today. The version I'm using is Excel 2010.
I just want a simple division formula in a cell, formatted to accounting. This should be really easy, but it isn't reacting the normal way.
The simple division is =13588/12
The output in accounting format should be 1,132.33.
Every time I enter this formula into a cell that is pre-formatted to accounting, the result is 1132 1/3. It also erases my formula and replaces it with the value.

i have 5000+ addresses with no punctuation in them, just seperated by line breaks. i need to be able to add a delimiter (semi-colon, colon, full stop, any will do) to the end of every line of the address, not the cell; in order to extract the info using 'Text To Columns' in Excel 2010

Question 1: how i can automatically add a cell into a formula by just clicking the cell to be added? in other words, say i typed an "=" sign in a cell and want to add a number of cells just by clicking the mouse without having to type the "+" sign after selecting each cell. the formula will just appear as > =A1+B1+C1 by default with each click of the mouse. Is there a default setting that can be set so the plus sign will appear with each click?
Question 2: how can i set a comma to appear for all thousands, (i.e. 1,000) without having to format each cell individually to show commas?? in other words that any spreadsheet i open will always insert comas for numbers larger by a thousand?

I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that I am using to save several numbers all in the same column. These numbers can range from the several thousands up to billions. The formatting I am using for these numbers is Number (using 1000s separator).
number_forma.png
I am also using the spreadsheet to generate a text string for each of the numbers. I don't want the text string to show the number as it is, I want to shorten the number by only showing the first few digits followed by a "B" for billion, "M" for million, or "K" for thousand. For example, in the text string I want to show 1,600,000 as 1.6B.
In order to shorten the number I use the cell in the column to the right of each number. This cell uses the following custom formatting (which I found by doing a Google search): [>999999999.999]#.0,,,"B";[>999999.999]#,,"M";#,"K";
custom_format.png
As you can see the formatting is quite complex (at least for me it is) but it does what I want it to do.
Here is a screenshot of what the original and custom formatted cells look like:
custom_formatted_cells.png
As you can see the custom formatting works and does exactly what I wan
The next column (after the custom formatted number) is where I put the generated text string for each of the numbers. As I stated above, I want the generated text to use the shortened version of the number (e.g. 1.6B).
To generate the text I use the CONCATENATE function with a reference to the cell containing the shortened number as one of the arguments. For example:
CONCATENATE("SOME STRING ", B1)
Where B1 is the custom formatted cell.
The problem I am running into is, the text that gets generated doesn't show the shortened format of the number, it shows the full number. Here is a screenshot demonstrating what is happening:
concatenate_formula.png
As you can see the generated text is "SOME STRING 1600000000". This is not what I want. I want the generated text to be "SOME STRING 1.6B".
I think I understand what's going on. When the CONCATENATE function references a cell it takes the actual value of the cell and ignores any formatting. (I suppose formatting is just the way you see the data, not how underlying functions receive the data.)
My question is, how can I re-write the CONCATENATE function (or use another function, etc. available to me) to use the formatted version of the cell?
*UPDATE* I have attached my spreadsheet as an attachment to this post (tackyjan_excelforums.xlsx). Please note that it was created and saved using Excel 2010.

I use the first six numbers of a SA Identity number to calculate the age of a person as these six digits are actually the year (yy) followed by the month (mm) followed by the day (dd), I am born 01 September 1962, and therefore my first six digits are 620901.
Assume the figure 620901 is placed in Cell A1
Now, in another cell, say A4, I have a future date, but this value is formatted as dd/mm/yyyy. Assume this value to be 01/10/2017.
Firstly, I'd like to know How old I AM at that date and secondly, just because I am battling so, how old I will be on my next birthday, because adding the figure 1 to a total has never been so useless - it just doesn't work! I tried adding all sorts of numbers for months and days in a year but there was no consistency.
So here is my question: Simple - how do I get this to work?
On 1/10/2017 I will be 55, or turning 56 At Next Birthday. I have the following function that gives the answer of 55, but not 56 ANB even after 1 additional year is added to the function (the cell is formatted as yy):
Cell A6 Function = A4-DATE(LEFT(A2,2)+1900,MID(A2,3,2),MID(A2,5,2))
Also, ON my birthdate, 01/09/2017, it says that I am 54, and it has to be wrong because I would have turned 55, unless the function uses time and not just the actual date somewhere. On the next day it does, at least, see me as 55.
how to add calculate what my age will be AT MY NEXT BIRTHDATE for any given date in A4?

Below is a sample. I was given a spreadsheet and it contains fractions formatted as General. I need to do a calculation based on the fractions. Example there is a number in A1 lets say 3 and a fraction formatted as general in a2 1/216 and I need to multiply A1 * A2 but obviously I get a value error. If I go to another sheet and format the cell as a fraction then the multiplication works. My spreadsheet is full of the general formatted fractions.

Using Excel 2010 - I have a large workbook with multiple worksheets - been using it succesfully every day for a long time. All of a sudden every empty cell, and any cell not specifically formated in every worksheet has a default cell format of Time. Any new workbook created is OK.. defaults to 'General' - But, if I add a new blank worksheet to this particular workbook it defaults to 'Time' format. How did the default cell format for this workbook become set to 'Time' from 'General' and how do i fix it?

Is it possible to keep ending zeros in cells that are formatted for Text or General?
I have a column with numbers like the following: 264400
I need to format this number for three decimals so it will look like the following: 264.400
I need the column to be formatted for either Text or General. Currency breaks a system.

Recorded macro. The hope is to insert a excel formatted table a set number of times. I have found a loop code that references a Cell A1 and repeats that amount of times. So if A1= 10. There should be 10 tables inserted. However on the second time there is a fault with the table name. I need the name to change each time the loop is run. ie Table1, Table2, Table3 etc up until the loop stops (A1 contents).
I am using excel for windows 2010. The macro that i have so far is below.
Sub LoopTest()
Dim n
Dim V
Range("A1").Select
V = ActiveCell.Value
[Code] ........

I have 5 worksheets that I currently have to add information to and cut/paste information from one to another. The initial information stays the same but I have to cut and paste it into one of the other worksheets based on wether or not we; need to decide on a job, are working on the job, lost the job, won the job or the job is complete.
I would like to create one master worksheet where the information can be entered with a drop down cell stating the status of the job (listed above). I created the master tab and linked the 5 subordinate tabs using an IF formula, but how can the subordinate tabs filter or sort the references and organize them on the top of the page rather than leaving a bunch of blank rows (because the info in these blank rows went to a different subordinate tab)? I want to enter the info in the master tab and simply change the pull down cell to change which subordinate tab the information shows up on. This should allow me to print the subordinate tabs as reports without having to manually cut and paste the info or filter it, correct?

I need a code that when i place a date in a cell D10 (Example:25-January-2013) it will then add 40 days of dates daily to AP10.In D9 can it also add the weeknumber (every 7 days the weeknumber increases by 1) corresponding to the day date in D10 (iso).Can this be attached to a button.Enter the date in D10 then press the button and the dates auto insert across the sheet daily to AP10.
Can the button say ADD DATE or REMOVE DATES.First date in D10.When the button says REMOVE dates all dates deleted when button pressed and cell D10 then says "add date here".If no date is placed in D10 and ADD DATE button is pressed a warning messagebox appears and says NEED TO ADD DATE .Will not work until date entered.When date entered in D10 "Add Date Here" disappears until REMOVE Date button is selected and again "Add Date Here" is displayed....not sure if this is possible but would be good if achieved.

This don't keep the conditional format - the first cell, yes, but not the others. How to modify my signature?

I have text of size 14 and 18 mixed in cells in a column. Cells are font size 18 or mixed with both 14 and 18 size text. I need to sort out the text with one column of size 14 and another of 18 only. I am thinking of copying and pasting the column twice and run a macro in first column to remove the text of size 14, and another macro to delete text of size 18 in second column. I need the leftover text to be in same rows.
I tried everywhere and couldn't find a macro for mixed text cells. I am using Microsoft Excel 2010.

I have a spreadsheet which is used by users unfamiliar with Excel. They are using the filter to select records, however when this is used some records appear which have no entry in the cells of that column. Can I overcome this? There is no data in the blank cells, other than a data validation drop down.

I have a file of names that has some undisplayable characters. I am trying to match against a different file. It works if I overtype the "blank" fields with a space. How can remove these trailing problem characters whatever they are? I tried CLEAN and TRIM and the mystery characters are still there.

I'm trying to make an excel formula that generalizes product names based on their format. So the general format would be XYZ08/T13. I know a ? is equal to a general letter, but is their a symbo that specifically means letter or number. I'm running into problems using the ? because the formula ends up identifying additional items that are not products as products.

Is there any excel-addin which offers function in which you could search any excel function (not just formula) so that you could access any function in a seconds, just like google desktop search for windows.
Right now you could use quick access for most common functions you use and shortcuts for functions in different group. But if there is universal search for all the functions, it is going to be faster for any access!

I just had an employee come to me and ask to take a look at his Excel spreadsheet. One of the columns auto filled the word General all the way down. I tried to do a find and replace but it did not work. Then I tried to just delete the cell and noticed that the text disappears when you click into the cell. This "ghost" text is frustrating me and I can not get it removed

find a formula or function where i can remove the last 4 digits from cells. I have a spreadsheet where there was might have been concatenation do where 4 digits were added to the end of part numbers in a cell. I need to remove just the last 4 digits so that I can do matches later on. Each cell has a different number of characters and i just need to remove the last for Example 154758NE20 or NFD148574DE11. Need to remove the NE20 and DE11 respectively.

I have a procedure that allows me to view and make changes to data in a table. I list the current values for the item in one column and use simple formula to copy that value to another column where if there are changes that need to be made, the formula is simply overwritten. The Macro is then selected using a command button and the formulas are all overwritten using copy/paste values to keep from writing out the formula to the data table. These values are then all written back to the data table, current values are overwritten with whatever is in the update column, new data or old data.
I have one cell out of 48 that has decided to march to the tune of a different drummer. The format changes from General to Text and the formula written from the macro is what shows up in the cell instead of the value of the formula. Never a big disciplinarian, I have to wonder if I have been too lenient on the cell and this defiance is the price I have to pay.
The sheet is protected only allowing entry into the cells available for update.
Here is the bit of code that affects this cell (starting from a format of General:
Code:
Sheets("Product Data").Cells(ItemRow, 3).Value = Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8)
Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8).FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-6])"
I just don't see anything that would change the format, and these are the only two lines that even reference cells(6,8).
I tried to set the format for the cell from within the Macro, but with the sheet being protected, it just dumps me out to my error message.

I've got a whole load of cells that have a pipe ( | ) on the end of the value which I'm trying to remove.
Easy enough thinks me, so;
Code:
=LEFT(AB188,LEN(AB188)-1)
And then Copy / Paste Values Still has a pipe on the end... I check the cell for trailing spaces, there are none...
I check the length of the cell (658) against the length of the result from the formula (657)...
So, my formula works, but when I copy and paste as values the pipe remains.
I'm using Excel 2007 and the cell contatins other pipe characters I'd like to keep in there so I can't find and replace or anything.
