When 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.
I need to have all of my number be "x10^-6", but Excel wants to make them, for instance, 7.66x10^-3, when I need it to read "7660x10^-6". How can I force excel to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIm 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?
I am building a data base. I have a tab where you fill out of a form and then click an activeX command button to write to the data base. I am wondering if there is a way to record how many times to button is pushed. Each time the button is pushed, I want to record the data from the form into a single row in the data base without writing over old data but I do not know how to read how many rows of data are already there.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a .csv file that contains numerical data in the form of strings, much of which starts with leading zeros (i.e. "012345"). I double checked to make sure the .csv file has the leading zeros and that they are wrapped in quotation marks in notepad, and it does. However, when Excel opens the file, it must read those strings as numbers, becuase it chops off the zeros. Does anyone know of way to fix this? Can Excel read numbers as strings straight from a .csv file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list of client names with their respective numbers on a sheet 1 and I have a list of jumbled client names with the names repeated in the next sheet 2. I would like to retrieve the client number from the data sheet and display the number for that respective client name in the second sheet
Sheet 1:
Client Number Client Name
1 David
2 Tom
3 Suzan
4 Richard
Sheet 2:
Client Name Client Number
Richard
Tom
David
Suzan
Richard
Tom
David
I want the program to retrieve the client number for the names from sheet 1 and display it accordingly in sheet 2. For eg:- it should retrieve Richard's client number as 4 from sheet 1 and display digit 4 next to richard's name in the client number column. I have attached the sample document.
I've got a main workbook (excel 2007) with a main spreadsheet where i group all the information (text and values) about brands and models linked to 10 workbooks (brands) with several spreadsheets (one spreadsheet=one model).
On the main spreadsheet I've got 16 lines for each model which they have the follow formulas, wich are linked to other workbook / spreadsheet (Mar/Gato)
1)
IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;3;FALSE));"";VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;3;FALSE))
and will return text values
2)
IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;82;FALSE));"";VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]G!$A$3:$CE$78;82;FALSE))
And will return number values
3)
IF(M844<>"";HLOOKUP($V$3;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$2:$CE$78;2;FALSE);"")
And will return number values. The return value (;2 goes from 2 to 16.
This process repeats to all the 10 workbooks e and 250 spreadsheets
4) Table Array of the model spreadsheet
With regard to formula 1) and 2)
The problem is that the table array (on the model spreadsheet) could have diferent dimensions (becouse the launch year of the model) like this:
A$3:$CE$78 (2009 - Launch year)
A$3:$BR$78 (2010 - Launch year)
A$3:$BE$78 (2011 - Launch year)
A$3:$AR$78 (2012 - Launch year)
A$3:$AE$78 (2013 - Launch year)
And the return column (value) for formula 1) is always ;3;
And the return column (value) for formula 2) are like this:
;82; (2009 - Launch year)
;69; (2010 - Launch year)
;56; (2011 - Launch year)
;43; (2012 - Launch year)
;30; (2013 - Launch year)
;17; (2014 - Launch year)
The difference between above values is 13, it corresponds 12 months and the total column (12+1)
For the formula 3) the table array its the same, the only difference is instead of starting A$3, starts in A$2
5) The update of the formulas 1) 2) 3) for 2014
I'm doing this manually... The formulas are updated like this,for 2013, I've got table array A$3:$AE$78 and the return value (;17, then for 2014 i will have a table array A$3:$AR$78 and the return value will be (;30, and so on
5) Change the network drive
For other reasons I've to change my files to another network drive, something like this:
Q:KPI2014Main File
6) Main Goal
I was thinking using Excel's regular Find and Replace feature to change:
- The network drive designation
- the table array area
- The return value
But I don't know if this process ( Find and Replace) is safe and clean. I'm doing this manually and I've got on the main worbook/sheet 4000 lines with 3 formulas its 12000 operations!I'm on the 350 line....!
The main goal is to update the all formulas (links) to "brand" workbooks and inside "model" spreadsheets automatically with a macro.
I am working on word documents that has financial numbers on them. I am copying word pages to excel to calculate the numbers by using formulas and etc. I will cut to the chase; is there a way or a macro to insert into an excel template workbook(.xltx) when we open the template there will be a command button to select the word document (which we want to copy its pages) to excel sheets. When a new page begins a new sheet will be created and the page will be pasted on the new sheet.
It is not important if it has to have a command button to select the word document it is ok to run the macro and select the word document and it does not has to populate sheets according to length of word document (I can create lost of free sheets on the template)
The main idea is to gain the time I spend on copying the word document to excel sheets. Some documents can be very long (100 pages). I am using MS Office 2007.
I triend to export data but excel does not allow me to select word documents.
I need a little bit of help here ... I can read and process a .txt file from my Excel VBA program, but I am having trouble as follows :
The file I am reading contains a number of heading lines, followed by a number of data lines.
All of the data lines end in a date, so I can use the code ...
If IsNumeric(Right(MyDSRec, 1)) Then
... to pick up the data lines & ignore the heading lines. This is fine and works perfectly.
However, the .txt file that I receive is out of my control, and is prone to error, in that the data line occasionally has what I assume is a "Tab" character after the last date, which means that the line above does not recognise the last character as being numeric.
If you double click "06" at the end of each line on the example below, you should be able to see what I mean (in the .txt document, if I place the cursor at the end and press backspace, all characters at the end are deleted, back to the 06, so they are not individual spaces) ...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I 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.
I'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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I 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.
I am trying to be able enter an a dollar amount into one cell and have the numbers separate into their own cells further down the page. It works basically but if I have room below to hold 10000000.00 and I only enter 100.00, the output looks something like #######100.00.

I have several excel spreadsheets cataloging the right ascension transit times of various extrasolar planets. I need to convert all the times (in 24-hour format) from UT to PDT (that is, subtract seven hours). Unfortunately, each transit time is included in the same cell as the date the exoplanet's star is visible, like so:
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3998/transit.png
Now, I have a lot of data that I need to convert. I do not want to go through manually and change each cell's value manually. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out a way to use a formula to do so; I do not want to modify the date (the top value of each cell), and the colon separating hours from minutes screws up the rest of the formula.
So, how can I use excel to automatically subtract seven hours from the bottom value of each cell, without doing anything to the rest of the numbers in each cell?
I'm tring do a simple formula: =CA3+BP3+BE3+AT3+AI3+X3+M3, but because the cells I am adding have formulas in them already it is returning a error. Can I add them using 'sumproduct' formula, or is there another way?

If B1 and E1 have the same name then A27 should be blank.
Also C15, G15, and K15 contain a number. If A25 is not blank, then B25 should equal C15; If A26 is not blank, then B26 should equal C15;
If A27 is not blank, then B27 should equal K15. However, if B1 and E1 contains the same name, then A25 should equal C15 + K15.
If B1=John C1=James E1=David F1=Jack

I need to find a way to autosort a series of numbers, inputted manually for example, in cells A1 through A15. The autosort function needs to put the numbers in descending or ascending (either way, doesn't matter) in cells B1 through B15.
In effect, if the numbers inputted into the first cells change daily, then the correct order of these be automatically sorted so that they are in a specific order.

Is there a formula that can extract data by taking numbers within a specific range and assigning a number to the data within that specific range?

I'm looking for an answer about how I can show the numbers underlying a
nested IF function. The formula works fine, but I need to be able to show
how I arrived at the numbers that I did. Here is an example of one of the formulas:
=IF(B9=1,(B4*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B10=2,(Calculations!B5*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B11=3,(Calculations!B6*Data!G5*Data!F5),0)))
Instead of the reference to the cell, I would like the formula that the cell represents. I know that I could go through individually and pull each piece apart with control F9, but since there are numerous cells and because the data changes every time I create a new budget, it would help if I could have some way to display it all with one action.
i have a list of serial numbers in a column, say column a, for example, and i have corresponding data in columns to the right of this, say just column B for example- I also have a header on column B which counts the data in column b. (just a COUNTA, counting occurences of 'x' )
my issue is this: i need to limit the range of the COUNTA dynamically- by the number of serial numbers in column A. for example: if i have 10 serial numbers, i want my COUNTA range to be B1:B10 (excluding header) and... i need this to be a built-in formula, NOT a VBA macro. i need it to update automatically, as soon as another serial number is entered. i've tried using references to named ranges and all sorts of language tricks, and i cant seem to get it to work. (such as:
