I have a cell with the following text in it that is being imported from a website "5/1 Smith T win". What i want to do is extract the "5/1" part without it being in the format of a date. I want it to be extracted in the format "?/???". I have entered the following formula to extract the "5/1"
View 2 RepliesI have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI import data from a program that exports dates and times as text. I have been successful using "text to columns" to separate the time from the date and then using =text(A1,"00:00")+0 to get the time to show as serial time but I'd love to be able to do the whole date/time string in one step. In cell A1 there is data that is general format and is in this format:
01/01/13 00001
No matter how you try to format it, it is not a date or time. For this project I need the serial number for the date/time. Any formula that will format it as date/time and then allow it to show as a serial date/time?
Can anyone help me with a code for converting decimal number to a nearest 1/16 th fraction. For example converting number 2.1875 to 2 3/16 and so on...Also if it is 2.5 it should display 2 1/2...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI maintain a class register in Excel to monitor student attendance. The first row shows the date of the class in the form dd-mm.
I need to identify all dates which fall on a Monday and thought that if I custom formatted a new row as "dddd" and enter the formula =DAY(cell ref) into the cells of this new row it would achieve this- I could easily spot the Mondays for the period under review.
What I'm finding, however, is that the formula seems to incorrectly state that 16th September 2008 is a Monday whereas it's actually a Tuesday- utterly bizarre!
I can get a fix simply by modifying the =DAY() formula by adding 1 to my formula [ie =DAY(A1)+1] but am wondering is this a "so called known issue" with Excel or has anyone else come across it? I have never previously come across this and consider myself to be an above average competency level user of the application.
I need to lookup the last date coupled to a serial number but with vlookup it takes the first serial number from the top of the database. Is this at all possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to convert a date into a serial number. The serial number must return the format DDDYYNN where DDD is the day of the year, YY is the year, and NN is the sequential build number. As an example, if 10 units are built on 2/6/2013, the serial numbers would be 0371301, 0371302 ...0371310. Cell A1 would contain the current date (2/6/13) in this example. Column B1 - B10 would be the sequential serial numbers generated by the formula.

I have a macro which copies the values from one cell to another. But, while copying the macro changes the date format to a serial number and this doesnot happen all the times. Below is the code I have. I want the macro to automatically convert the date from from serial number to dd/mm/yyyy. I tried quite a different ways, but none of them seems to work.

I have a column of numbers that are currently text, but they actually represent a date.
I had a column of dates, but needed to convert them into a "week number", so used this formula: =INT((A2-1)/7)
It produced a week number for each date, and produced results like 5594, 5595, etc.
I now need to "reverse" this, and take these numbers (5594, 5595...) and convert them back to actual dates.
Here's the data set I am working with.

I am currently trying to find an easy way to convert cell references to number format. The issue I'm having is when compiling a small formula (CONCATENATE) as part of a macro in order to produce a unique reference number to a column of data (1000's of cells long) I come accross the age old number stored as text issue after the macro has converted the formula to values.
Have tried editing the macro to number stored as text = false which removes the annoying little red triangle but the vlookup functions still wont read the values. My current solution is to highlight the entirity of the data and convert to number which takes a long long time as there are multiple lookups assigned to the cells, which for my current project is not acceptable.
Am looking for a quick solution, (with no interaction required) something that would convert the cells to the format required either before the formula is assigned and overwritten by values or just after. Currently I'm stumped.
I have a formula which extracts a number from a text string.
The text string is in A2 - the formula which extracts the number is in B2
However - when I copy the data in B2 and paste values to another sheet / cell - the forumla is as text - and I get the little green corner symbol and I have to convert to number.
Some VBA code - that will automatically convert my extracted "number" - to an actual number in number format.

Attached File : converting text example.xlsx
I have an excel file that is used to create a large text file. This is all done manually so I wrote some code to create the file automatically. I have everything working except that I am losing some info. The info is zeros after the decimal point. Almost all of the cells are formatted as numbers with 3 decimal places. It is common to have values of 0.000 that end up just 0 when they are written to the text file. Is there a way to keep the formatting (all decimal places)? Here is an example of code that I am using to write data directly from a cell to the file.

As a result, when I try to import this sheet into Access, the numbers are not imported and appear as blank cells in the Table.

I am trying to convert text in a cell from: 03/08/2014 2330 to a date that looks like this: 03/08/2014 23:30. Then I also need to extract just the time only and put that in a new cell.
I can do it in a few steps by using Data -> Text To Columns, formatting the date and time separately, and then putting them back together again.
Is there a 1-step way to do the original text to date/time conversion?
