I currently have a spreadsheet with the following. I would like to convert the GL Date to just pick up the month. I have tried =mid(cell,4,2) but because this is a excel date it will not pick up 01 as the excel number for this date is 410001
the dates in my spreadsheet changed from dd-mm-yyyy to a random 5 digit number. For instance, if I enter in 01-07-2007, it will re format to to 39089. I am trying to fix it, but I can't seem to figure out what happened and how to get all of the dates back to normal. Is there a way to fix this?
I am having a 2000 records of date and time in excel (see the below example). My query is I want to add 6 hrs to each Cell and accordingly the Date should get changed for e.g see the B Column after adding 6 hrs the data should look like this. I want an excel formula (don't want VBA Code) ...
I received an email with a WORDPERFECT attachment. I couldn't open so I downloaded application (COREL)from Internet. I finally got to read my WORDPERFECT file but found out that COREL had changed all my EXCEL files to WORDPERFECT. How do I change them back to EXCEL flies?
In the spreadsheet attached, i have a formula now() which will update the current time in column B if i select opted from column A and similarly in column D the current time will get updated when i select option in column C.
However when i first select the option in column B the current time gets updated but after a while if i select the option in column C the time in the column B is also getting changed.
May be there is a different formula, Not sure what is the trick ?
I have an the excel book with sheets that are password protected so that the users cannot delete rows or columns.
In each sheet I gave permissions for certain ranges that need to be filled out only to specific users that need to fill out those cells.
The users are located and managed in the Active Directory.
The point is that each user can only update his/her sheet within the Excel book.
It was working for a day or two and then all of a sudden without any changes all the permissions were gone and every user was able to edit every sheet.
When I combine 3 reports (which we get out of a system) into 1 big file, the date format remains the same (mm/dd/yyyy and right alligned). Same happens for most of my colleagues.
When 1 particular colleague goes and combine these reports, I've noticed that some of the dates are showing as text? (dd/mm/yyyy and left alligned).
I am trying to set up an holiday card on excel which I have the template for but I need an email sent to me, the manager, each time it is updated by my staff requesting Annual Leave. Each member of staff will have a program each.
I have a lot of formulas that I don't want to be changed or deleted, but I still want the user to be able to enter data into the cells.
If I use "Protect sheet" I can't select a cell or enter something into it. I sure there is some setting I have to change, but I'm not sure what to select.
Iv changed the security settings to my name (along with admin) and removed 'everyone'.now when i go into my folder, everyone else's excel sheet is there but mine has gone.
We have 3 PCs, all running MS Office 2013. On 1 of these machines, it is doing strange things with formatting. If you open a document or try to paste anything into certain documents, it decides everything is currency format and assigns all sorts of wrong formatting to the entire sheet, or the entire document. There may be some cells in the doc that are indeed currency, but only a small proprtion. If I open a new, fresh document and paste into that document, it does not do this, it seems to work normally, only applying currency formatting where it might be applicable. On some larger docs that have this issue, no matter what I do, it just continues to apply these strange settings.
I'm trying to make a simple chart, which maps the value of an investment fund over time. I wanted to use the new 'Table' feature within Excel 2010 to format and maintain the formulae within the Table, and the 'Header' for the table contains the date, which is not at regular intervals.
If I opt not to use the Table feature, I can create a line-chart with ease, and Excel recognises that the Dates are indeed dates and plots the graph correctly. The minute I convert over to a Table, the Date headers are no longer recognised as dates, and are instead plotted as if they were text, at regular intervals.
I've tried multiplying the Date Headers by 1 to force them back to true Dates, but this still does not work. I've also changed the setting on the horizontal axis to Date axis rather than automatic, but still no joy.
I am in strange situation where I have a data with Invoice Dates. These dates are in Text. However, when I convert it into reall excel dates. For some reason the dates do not come right. convert my text dates into excel real dates. I did a lot of google search and apply these three methods but all of these gave me strange result I was not expecting. These are the methods I used and the result of each method.
Method 1 : Using Text to Column Wizard (Excel 2007)
I highlighted invoice column and went into text to column wizard. I clikced on Date button, and selected MDY format. Strangely enough, my result was day, month and year i.e. DMY which does not seem right.
Then I press Control ~ on this data as shown in second view.
2nd Method - Using formula to convert text date to real dates When I used formula, I get the following result. As you can see, formula is converting text dates into different system dates than the first method.Further strange things is when I take these system dates i.e. 4283 and in 2007 excel format use "Short Date" the same system date gets converted into wrong year as shown in the second view.
I have a list of 30 words that I am filtering a column of sentences for. If I put the list of 30 in column A and the list of 10,000 sentences in column B, is there a formula that will identify the cells with sentences that contain a word from column A?
I have a column of words in Column A and I want to replace all the times that these words appear in the rest of the excel sheet with the words in Column B. If someone has already answered a similar problem link me to the thread because I can't find anything.
I wonder is there a way in excel to replace multiple words at once. To have like script where I had all words that need to be replaced and words replacing those. And just click the button and done? More specifically I'm translating some exports in xls and there are few words repeating over and over again in every document. So for example I need to replace word parfem for perfume like 500 times in one excel document atd. I think there has to be a easier way to replace those words at once.
I have an excel sheet with one column having one sentence in each cell of the column (rest all the cells of the sheet are vacant).
Now, i want to 'find' and 'remove' a list of pre-specified stop words such as "a", "the", "it", "of", etc. from every sentence and then get the resulting sentence pasted in the adjacent columns cell.
(Also for example the word "a" should be removed only when it is a separate word and not part of a word. Likewise for other stop words).
I have pulled a task of Content Managent. we are going to look at a bunch of files for a key list of words. Is there a way look at the text in a file and find a word within it?
Reporting the link to the doc.. display ... will all come later.
I know it will be slow and may run for a day or two but I would run it over the week end.
I'm looking for a macro to remove all words (in a single word per cell format) in a range (approx 100 columns & 7000 rows), except for a list of 100 words.
I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity Product 5 2 x Button A White 3 4 x Button B Pink 4 5 x Ribbon A Black 2 3 x Thread A White 6 2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity Product 10 Button A White 12 Button B Pink 20 Ribbon A Black 6 Thread A White 12 Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B. And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.
I'm working on a text prediction project classifer model and would like to remove the stop words before I stem the document to get the important topics.
I found the thread that Stanley solved really useful. However, I have a lot more stop words that I'd like to remove, which I couldn't make work with the previous code (I'm completely new to this!)
I have an issue with case sensitive while creating forms in Excel VBA. When i compared the text "EXCEL" and "excel" it showing as both the words are not equal/same.
Is there any code to compare the words/inputs without case sensitive.
I am trying to find the Maximum Value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan but NOT Mobile.
In a second cell I also want to find the maximum value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan" AND "Mobile"
The code I have come up with is in the table however it is only showing the max value for cells containing "Afghanistan". If I add the wildcard "*" it does not return a value. how I can achieve my objectives?
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.
I am using excel 2007. I have a worksheet with a list of words I wish to step through this list replacing the selected words in another workbook with nothing (ie deleting them).
I have the following code
Code: Sub replacewords() Dim MyWord As String Dim wbLibrary As Workbook Dim wbWorking As Workbook Dim myExcelColumns As Integer Dim myExcelRows As Integer Dim MyRow As Integer Dim MyRange As Range
