Exponential Number (formatted As Text) Appearance
May 1, 2007
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do away with the "Exponential" appearance of numbers (in Excel) when they are formatted as text. I am working with National Stock Numbers and there are no required computations based on them being formatted as a number ... AND ... one of my constraints is that they are required to be formatted as text when imported into an Access database ...

I had a hard time to put a suitable title to this query, not sure if above is good enough for my query. I am entering combination of text and number in a cell using a formula. I am wondering if it is possible to add formula which can format number such that it is displayed in accounting format. Example:
Expected output = Trial 1,000
Using this formula
="Trial "&Sheet1!A1
where A1 in Sheet1 = 1000
Output is Trial 1000

How can I interrogate the contents of a cell to determine whether or not it contains a number formatted as text? I intend to run a .value = .value over each such cell to convert it to a number format, but I only want to do this to relevant cells.

I deal with a rather large excel database (the range is A1:AV168266) that contains customer information. Some of these various customers are affiliated with a group called "ascend" and I need to be able to filter all my list by every customer affilliated with Ascend. The trouble is that the word "ascend" can appear in 8 different columns and usually when it appears in one column it doesn't appear in the others and their can also be more text in the cell beyond the word "ascend". I want to create a formula that will simply look for the word "ascend" in any cell of a row and return a result I can filter by. I will be putting the formula in column AW and put it in all 170,000 rows of that column, that way I can just filter by a single column.
I've played around with combining COUNTIF with SEARCH and MATCH with SEARCH but nothing seems to work.

I use hex2dec frequently and input with a hex 'E' such as 05e8 is misinterpreted as exponential notation. I can use =hex2dec("05e8") to get the correct value, but when the hex number is in another cell, I get the exponent assumption/ conversion (to 5 x 10e8), or a # NUM error if it is in quotes. This seems like a blatant problem but I've found no mention of it in searches or FAQs.

I have a bit of code that is grabbing only the first 9 positions of an alpha-numeric string. The problem I am running into is that when the alpha-numberic value contains an "E", the code turns it into an exponential number in error.
For example, I have the following in column G: 01877E107000. When I run the code, it turns into an alpha-numeric value. The result should be 01877E107 (in column K). I tried using the text function within the code.

I have recently found that when I copy ranges (usually containing formulas), I only have the option of copying these ranges as text ( or vales). I can no longer copy formulas , (or formats, col width etc) in my excel worksheets.
This problem has only recently occurred and applies whether i have one or many spreadsheets open.

I'm working on a sheet for our accounting section which has been in use for quite some time, which means, that I'm not supposed to change a hell of a lot in it since it's accounting and everybody is afraid of changes.
Coming to the point, I have the following problem:
(1) I have a date.
(2) I need that date in this format: "mm-yyyy", written in a certain cell.
(3) BUT: the cell should NOT contain the date itself, but JUST the text (some tables in the background need this format)
(4) Changing the cell to text-format is not eligible, since it puts an " ' " in front of the numbers.
(5) The cell should be formatted as a number.
So, in conclusion:
I need a string/number with the date in this format: "mm-yyyy" in the cell formatted .NumberFormat = "0".
I'm working on an existing workbook...
I decided to add some code and a screenshot. This code will return the number, which lies behind the date, and write it into the cell. So that's not what I want, but maybe the code clarifying what I need anyway.
The screenshot shows the wanted output : screenie.png

if the active cell is formatted as number and I write
x = Cells(Row, Column).Value
and the cell is empty or blank, x will be set to 0.
How can I determine that the cell is blank and not actually 0 ?

Is it possible to sum cells that contain numbers converted to text? I used TEXT function to convert them because I needed to format them (to display three decimal digits, if number < than 0.05, three digits otherwise). But now SUM Formula doesn't work.

I have this problem where the SUM function is returning 0. The context is this- I am simulating values using RAND() and looking up the values corersponding to probabilities from a different tables. I then use the TRIM function to return the value I need, and the final number is of a "general" format.
This is the formula in the column I wish to sum:
And this is dragged down the column.
When I change the cells using =VALUE(cell) the SUM function then returns the required value. Oddly the SUMPRODUCT function seems to work.
Calculation is set to automatic and the cell has been formatted as a number.

I have two columns with entries consisting of numbers. I'm trying to match between the columns but some names dont match because of the formatting.
Example
065 matches 065 (I have that green triangle on the cell that indicated "The number in this cell is formatted as text")
However 120 doesn't match with 120 (only one of them have that green triangle)
I tried to format all the cells as text at it seems the match only works when the green triangle is available. The green triangle seems to only show its self when I double click on the cell. I have thousands of entries so that doesn't work. I also tried to use the "Text to Columns" but it coverts entries like 002 into 2 which I dont want.

I want to be able to "count" apples and oranges. Is there a way to record a particular text in a text formatted cell and count it. e.g. 10 cells, 3 say "apples", three say "oranges", 4 say "plums". I want excel to keep track of the three types of fruit when I change them and give me a running number of each.

I want to find strikethrough text and replace it with blanks. In my sheet there are cells that contain both strikethrough and normal text. I tried using the 'Find and replace' tool, specifying the format. I've attached a picture with the settings from the Replace window.
The problem is that Excel finds the cells that contain strikethrough text, but replaces with blank ALL the cell content. I would like to replace only the strikethrough text from the cell and leave the normal text as it is!

I am in need of a formula.
I am subtracting one number from the other and if the result is negative, “Short” otherwise “Add”, I want to use subtracting result in the formula. So for example A1 has 50,000 and A2 has 40000 so the formula in cell A3, should say add $10,000.
Or something like this, =IF(A1-A2>0,”ADD”,”SUBTRACT”,”&TEXT(A1-A2,”$#,##0.00”)

The solution below to look up numbers in an array formatted as 10 characters as text.
=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A1,"0000000000"),LOOKUPTABLE,2,FALSE)
This has worked well except now I have received the data and the text I want to lookup has been reformatted (previously leading zeros) to the number with trailing spaces, still a total of 10 characters but the above formula no longer works. Is there an easier workaround other than using "Find" to locate the position of the first space.

I have a Userform with one RefEdit control and three CommandButtons. The RefEdit has the focus. But one of the three command buttons is the default (it varies). I would like to make the default button look like it has the focus (even though the RefEdit does). How can one hightlight a command button? I'm currently using underline, but that is too subtle.

I have a series of conditionally formatted cells which turn the text in them to red if the value is less than 40. This works fine.
Occasionally however a value of less than 40 will need to be entered along with the letter 'v'.
ie. 39v
I'd still like this to be coloured red, but it's obviously coming out as black.
Is there a way to sort this out?
edited to add : Im actually using a separate cell to enter the value 40 (as the value can change).

How to change a "ddd' formatted cell and change it to a text string (even if you have to use another set of cells)?
I have 3 columns of cells A,B,C.
Column A has dates in it.
Column B has the "ddd" format of the A cells (takes date from A cell and turns it into the day of the week...ex:2/17/2012 into "Fri")
Column C is the one I want to formatt whatever is in the B column into a string, such as "Fri" but with it being text instead of "ddd" formatted.

To input high volumes of dates I change the number format of cells to "00/00/00" so I can key mm/dd/yy without having to hit the slash key. In order to convert these values into an actual date, I've been using the =TEXT function because it allows me to format the text as "00-00-00" which preserves the numbers but inserts a hyphen between each set. From there I use text to columns to break each pair into its own column, and use the =DATE function to combine all 3 into a date.
Is there a way to automate this conversion process in VBA? Alternatively, I'd be open to a different method to input dates in the mm/dd/yy format without having to press the slash key.

Is it possible to delete the work 'Strike' purely based on it's formatting I.E: as having a strike through set against it?
Im thinking it's not! I know you can use 'Find and Replace' for single cells with single words in, but not out of a sentence?

I am trying to get a single cell to display the following:
Last Updated: 3/18/2008 15:08 (GMT+2)
Entering =NOW() in a cell displays the date and time as required.
But entering ="Last Updated: "&NOW()&" (GMT+2)" displays the date and time as a serial number. Formatting the cell to Date does not change the serial number to date and time format.
The only way I have found to get the desired result is to use =NOW() in another cell (F13), format that cell to general to get the date/time serial number, then use ="Last Updated: "&TEXT(F13,"m/d/yyyy h:mm ")&" (GMT+2)" in the required destination cell.
As I said this works, but it strikes me as an inefficient method. Is there a formula I can enter or formatting I can apply to get the desired result without using an addition cell?
The result needs to be in a single cell. Splitting text and date/time into 3 adjacent cells will not work with my worksheet setup.

I have an issue with long numbers (16 digits). To display them correctly in excel I formatted the cells as text. This part works fine, but now for some reason conditional formatting marks different numbers as duplicates.
In my case 3081281170122602 and 3081281170122601 are considered as duplicates by excel.

I am trying to figure out how to create a Macro code in Excel that will delete text file page breaks. Each page break starts with a square in column A and ends with the word continued in column D. I've tried several times, but when I test the code and I highlight the section to delete, it only deletes those specific rows next time. How can I get it to delete the rows from the square to "Continued" throughout the document without making reference to specific cell numbers?

I am looking for a way to alter the appearance of a button when a second one is clicked. I have two buttons, "Yes" and "No", and when one is clicked I would like to 'grey' the font in the other without disabling it, and vice versa. I have tried recording a macro as I go into the button's properties and change the foreground font, but it does not record the font change, only the selection of the button object.
