I have a DB2 table imported to Excel which has some junk characters in some of its columns. This is a huge file and I need to identify which are the junk characters exist in this file. Is there a way to find this in excel or by using any other tool?

It appears normal in my spread sheet but when I do the mail merge some of the number are extending about ten digits, for example, on my spreadsheet it is 5.75, on the mail merge it would be 5.759999999. It appears to be totally random.

I have a problem with my formula. As you can see, i want to get the CIM number of the Team Leaders (TL Name) when i change the dropdown list of the campaign. But what im getting is the repeated CIM numbers.
Here's my formula:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Team Data'!$F$2:$F$5489,SMALL(IF('scorecard (OM Search)'!$C$12='Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489,ROW('Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489)-MIN(ROW('Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489))+1,""),ROW(A1)))),"",INDEX('Team Data'!$F$2:$F$5489,SMALL(IF('scorecard (OM Search)'!$C$12='Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489,ROW('Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489)-MIN(ROW('Team Data'!$E$2:$E$5489))+1,""),ROW(A1))))
We have a Shared workbook on our Server and about 5 users work at the same time every day. I want to understand something, If I open it I can see all the information in it, all the rows and so on, but if the same workbook is opened by another user he will see other information, the rows aren't the same as in my case. Why does this happen ? I would like the second users to see the same information as I do.

This spreadsheet is being used as a pro forma invoice that can be emailed to customers for them to view & print as required.
At the moment I can add a background image but this appears throughout the sheet and not in the place I need it to i.e. the print area.
The other day I inserted a row in a shared workbook and then saved it. On my screen, the inserted row was visible and was the correct row height of 12.75. My goal was to insert the row so another user sitting next to me could enter information in the new row.
After I saved the workbook, and after the user sitting next to me saved her workbook, the row I inserted should have appeared exactly the same on her screen, but it did not. Instead, the inserted row showed up as a hidden row on her screen. It was there, but the row height was collapsed to the point of invisibility.
I repeated my attempt to insert a row which the other user could edit several times, but each time I got the same result. I could not make the row show up on her screen with a row height of 12.75.

I have a file that has been produced using Statistica software. The file is supposed to have around one million rows, and when exported to Excel the file is about 30 MB. When I open the .xlsx file in Excel 2010 only two pages of data appear. The rows also have weird numbering. The first square of the A column is A1. The second is A3833, the third is A6789, then A8161, then A8162, then A8163, then A8164, then A18070.
The scroll button to the left of the screen is long, as if the document was only two pages long. When the scroll button is click-and-dragged a small beige square appears with a row number. This small square seems to be aware that not all rows are shown as it shows many more rows than are visible to me.
When using 2013 Excel in the Home tab, line 1 is not visible. Using the File tab will show line one, but the Home title bar is unavailable. Toggling back and forth is not efficient. No one in this office has ever seen an Excel program not display a full page under the title bar in the Home tab.

For some reason on 2 pages of the workbook the "watermark" has begun to show up in front of the data on spreadsheet rather than behind data. How do we highlight watermark and place behind data again? Watermark was added through the "Add Header" function originaly and is working fine on all but two worksheets.

A formula I am using is outputting "0" instead of the expected value. Upon evaluating the formula I realized that this was because some of the values - years, in this case - had quotes around them while others did not. Please see the image below for the screenshot of the evaluation.
These values - the years - are being evaluated in the following formula.
Code:
=SUM(
IF(inventory!$F$3:$R$3=$A3,
IF(inventory!$B$4:$B$56=$G$1,
IF(inventory!$D$4:$D$56=$G$2,
inventory!$F$4:$R$56))))
This formula references the following sheet (an excerpt from that sheet). You can also see the formulas found in the cells causing the problem.

B54=IF(A54="",C54,YEAR(A54))B55=IF(A55="",C55,YEAR(A55))B56=IF(A56="",C56,YEAR(A56))
I suspect that the problem is being caused by the output of the formula in these cells. If I simply type in "2011" instead of using the formula in B52:B56, then the first formula in the code section above does not have a problem.
How I can reconcile this?

I have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.

When trying to import an excel file (.xlsx) from the web to a local excel file on my computer, I have tried to set up a macro to automate this process. I recorded a macro using the "record macro" function, but when trying to import the .xlsx file, the URL was too long and Excel does not allow for such long URLs.
The URL in question is:
[URL]
One solution which I thought of was to shorten the URL with tinyurl.com, which converted the URL to: [URL] . I then used this in the macro recording and it indeed worked. I then tried to substitute all instances of the tinyurl in the VBA code with the long URL, but the
Code:
.SourceDataFile = "http://www.transelectrica.ro/widget/...let_excel=true"
was regarded as an invalid cell/argument.
Is there any way in which I can make this work? I need to have the whole URL, as in the end I plan to have an automated process with the URL changing every 10 seconds with the system clock (and thus refreshing the imported table every 10 seconds), so going through tinyurl every time is not an option.
I am using Microsoft 2013 and am looking for 4 formulas in order to split 1 cell in to 4 (across same row). Number of characters varies between each instance of """.
I would like the formulas to start in column B-D (data in A)
I am looking at formulas based on specific instances of a quote mark in cell from data in column A
Formula 1 - Return with characters up to and including the 5th instance of """
Formula 2 - Return with characters after 5th """ and up to and including 6th """
Formula 3 - Return with characters after 6th """ and up to and including 7th """
Formula 4 - Return with characters after the 7th instance of """
Example below...
Cell A1
xxyy","aabb","ee,ff,""gghh"hh,"llmm,mmnbijp"oossww"
Desired results
Cell B1 - Formula 1
xxyy","aabb","ee,ff,"
Cell C1 - Formula 2
"gghh"
Cell D1 - Formula 3
hh,"
Cell E1 - Formula 4
mmnbijp"oossww"
I run excel 2010... I have xls file (see file attached) with both English and Non English characters.
When I save this file as xls or xlsx - everything is good, but when I save the file as CSV and try to open it later - I see that the English characters stays the same but the non English characters become gibberish.
How can I save a file (that include some non English characters) as CSV without loosing the non English characters? Is there a way to do that from within the excel 2010 menus? Or maybe there is an external tool?

View 3 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010; I am setting row heights on the basis of some parameters. I have the following statement;
If targetCell.Value = "Photo Comment: " Then
targetCell.RowHeight = 185
But what I really want is to recognize only the phrase;
"Photo Comment:" in a text string that might be much longer e.g,
"Photo Comment: The photo above depicts yata, yata.........."
So, I want to recognize the first 14 character as "Photo Comment:" and then have the row height adjust to 185. So it involves "Left" and "Len" (I'm thinkin') but the syntax is beyond me.
How can I view hidden characters inside an excel cell. I have an excel file that I receive from our vendors. After verifying the data, I save the file as a tab delimited .txt format. When I open the .txt file I see some data with " " at both ends. i.e. "800 North Ave. Suite A". The thing is I don't see the " " in excel. This tells me that these are non-printing characters.

There might be an easy solution for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm trying to do a vlookup with the lookup value being #CFDMSMCSA*4. But the lookup table also has a value #CFDMSMCSAM4 in it.
It keeps returning the value for this #CFDMSMCSAM4 because of the * in the first string. Any ideas.
In Excel 2013, how do I translate all characters of selected cells to Unicode?
There is a formula to translate the first character into Unicode [=UNICODE(text)] and that formula would have worked fine for me .Only if it could translate all the characters to Unicode not just the first one.
I am suffering with split a long descriptions into 3 cells with criteria 1st cell not more than 30 characters, 2nd cell not more than characters and 3rd cell will locate the remaining characters there. I think this is quite easy if I use LEN/MID/RIGHT/LEFT formula. However, I wish the formula will smart enough to split word by word. refer to example below:-
"My lecturer replied, that i really did very bad in final, nothing's gonna change my plan."
If I use left(A1,30) formula, the result is "My lecturer replied, that i re"however, the word "really" is cut half way. I am finding the formula that split description to not more than 30 characters and won't cut my string and become incomplete word. Expected result should be 1st cell "My lecturer replied, that i", then "really did very bad in final," at 2nd cell.
