Forcing Date Recognition
Aug 1, 2006
I do not write code in it, just use it for school and work on the most basic levels. I am trying to suck an Excel document into SPSS ( Statistical Package for Social Science) for my Engineering internship. I am logging temperature using Omega Engineering, Inc temperature probes. When converting the data recorded on the probe to excel, it does something funny. I will try my best to explain what it is doing. If you format the cell to general, it gives you this (38917). Then simply changing the format to date I get this (7/19). How do I change this to make it so the date is the only memory in the cell. I don't need the other number in there because when I suck it into SPSS it only sees the 38917 number and not the date. I need the date to do my statistical analysis on the data.

I have a spreadsheet that uses data which is linked to dates on which events are being held.
So, event 1 happens on 5/12/09, event 2 on 6/12/09. What I would like is the spreadsheet to identify the next event occurring and copy the information into a different cell on the spreadsheet.

I have the following two formulas in a spreadsheet, which sum and count, respectively loan information within a certain date range. Both of these are working correctly.
My problem is in substituting the dates with cell references for dates located in a worksheet with a table of dates. The dates from this table work with simpler formulas, but I cannot get them to work here, regardless of how many () "", etc that I try....

I have the code below working as I want it to, when data is input in column 2 the date and time is automatically input into the corresponding cell 3 columns to the right. I want to ensure that the date is changed to the UK format dd-mmm-yy. I have formatted the column to be in that format but for some reason it has suddenly started changing the date to US format. Can this code be changed to force the date to be in UK format?

I have a column of data (numbers) that are expressed incorrectly i.e 1,000 actually means 1, 0,3 actually means 0.3 and 15,500 actually means 15.5. I can make the first and second examples OK by using the replace command, but how can I check the number format of the cell and then make it change to what I want. All these numbers are in random order and sequence. I'm using the replace command in a macro, is there something I could put in the macro to solve my problem?

I play Keno a lot and have what is probably a very simple formula request. If I’ve got for example this result pasted into Excel: 06 12 15 21 23 27 28 31 32 34 48 49 54 56 60 67 68 74 76 77. How would I go about determining if a pair or two numbers had come in?
Say I was looking for 31 and 76, is there some way I can get Excel to recognize the two spot hit then post in response either 1 (in bold) if yes or 0 (not bold) if no the two did not come in together? Note this would not be only one or the other, they both would have had to hit at the same time.

In the Yellow Cells, I am looking for a formula or Macro that will automatically recognise and give the correct Premises number. As an example, in the first block of Yellow cells, it should be MOR001&2; The second block should be MOR003 and so on...
One could copy and paste the Premises number for each premises, but with 100 entries or more, it becomes a tedious and time consuming task. An autonomous function to recognise the correct premises number would be much easier
In the end, this is to be used when drawing up a PIVOT so that one may easily pick up a premises number or numbers and their related charges

I have a bit of a complicated one here so I have attached my book, its probably easier to undertstand the query by looking at the book. Hopefully somebody can help me out here.
I have 2 worksheets:
A results worksheet - this contains all category of results, each category has been given a specific sort id.
A foreign worksheet - this contains all categories found on the results worksheet with sort id = 7.
Now the complicated bit. The whole exercise is too pick up the correct exchange rate for the foreign category (sort id 7). each foreign type has a specific number at the end of its description in brackets e.g (3).
At the bottom of the "results worksheet" is a key which says what type of exchange rate to use for this type e.g. (3) Price of CAD 22.9 converted using exchange rate of CAD 1.9645 = £1.
What I need to do is on the foreign worksheet, it to recognise the number in the item description, keep it in mind then switch over to the "results worksheet" find the keys at the bottom of the page (the key is not necessarily in the same place all the time!!), match the number in the items description with the corresponding key and then find the exchange rate.
As i said very difficult to explain, since I reletively zero experience with this kind of work in excel. Luckily I been muddling my way through a work project gradually thanks to a forum member here. so i hope we can keep this up!
edit:
two restrictions in the way this solution can be done:
1- Results worksheet can not be modified, but it can be referenced to using INDIRECT, and you can make any number of modifications outside of the results worksheet.
2. Any solution must be automatic.
/edit
I have attached my workbook and highlighted the bits I need to fill and the picks I need to pick up.
Would be ever so grateful if some1 could show me the light here.

I've created a spread sheet of hockey stats to prepare for my fantasy league. I've created a formula weighing different stats differently to create one "Fantasy Value" score. I've done it over 3 years of data and want to find the average 3 year score for each player on the front page of the workbook. There are 300+ names I'm tracking so I'm wondering if there is a way that Excel can recognize a player's name and pull the data from one specific column in 3 different sheets.
I've attached the excel file for your reference : NHL Stats.xlsx‎

So here's the setup: A customer purchases a service which lasts 6-months. As such, revenue recognition for the company can only occur as the service is provided. So if a person orders a $600 service at the beginning of a month, revenue will be recognized at $100 for the next 6 months. I'm trying to create an Excel Waterfall chart which will show the monthly revenue recognition amounts for all orders depending on the date which they were ordered.
I've attached a sample of what I'm looking to do. It's become tricky for me because Revenue Recognition is pro-rated based on the date ordered (i.e. order on the 20th of a month so at the end of the month 1/3 of the month is recognized as revenue). I'm looking for something that will populate the percentage of the order amount, each month, that will be recognized. I've populated what row 3 should be, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to apply a formula or something across all cells.

I have a spreadsheet where I need the end result to be auto filled after recognition of an adhoc "top up" amount. How do I get E7 (3170) to automatically recognise the insertion of C7 (3000) to give this result without having to manually update the formula in E7?
DATE
PURCHASE
ORDER

I know I will earn $5,000 of monthly revenue from a client. $5,000 is represented in a monthly revenue cell. I have 12 columns showing the 12 months of the year. There is an additional cell showing the customers implementation date.
If a company's implementation date is on or after the 15th of the month (example: 3/28/2014) then the next month (April 2014) is skipped and the $5,000 is returned to columns May through December. All months prior to May return $0.00. If the implementation date is before the 15th day of the month (example: 3/13/2014) then the next month (April 2014) and all months after will return $5,000. All months including March and prior must return $0.00. If the implementation date is unknown then 12/31/2099 would be in the implementation date cell and $0.00 is returned for all 12 months.
Essentially, if the implementation date is prior to the 15th of the month the revenue will show as of the following month. If the implementation date is on or after the 15th of the month the revenue skips the following month and will show the month after.

Command button opens userform with a listbox. Unfortunately during testing I found that if a value is not selected from the listbox and the OK button is clicked, it bugs out.
Is there a way to force a cell value from the listbox? BTW, the listbox first number is 3 so it would be my choice of default.
I would imagine the code would need to be with the OK button, so here is the code for it:

I'm importing data from CMS into excel and I then have several other sheets that harvest the raw data from the import and use it to calculate various things.
My problem is that when I import time data, if it is less than 1 hour (eg 39mins, 12 secs) it will format as :39:12 rather than 00:39:12 and for some reason the calculations in other sheets omit any data that does not contain the hours field.
I have tried formatting the cells as hh:mm:ss but this does not force inclusion of the hours field.
I guess what I'm asking is:
1. Is there a way of making excel include both data in the hh:mm:ss format and :mm:ss format in the calculation?
or
2. Is there a way of forcing data in the :mm:ss format to include an hours field populated by zeros?

I want to have a fullscreen application all the time, so for this I've added to things in my code:
1) Application.DisplayFullScreen = True in Workbook_Open
2) Same in WorkBook_WindowsResize
I open my workbook, it goes fullscreen. Until now all OK. However, if I press ESC or doubleclick on the topbar, it goes out of it.
Now the weird thing: if I click the "Restore window" button (which is right under the application maximize button that incidentally I have disabled) it snaps on fullscreen and THEN it keeps this state forever, even on ESC/doubleclick. Which is what I want.
So my question is: what does exiting from fullscreen and going back in change so that the workbook event starts triggering, and how I can replicate it programmatically? I've already tried WindowState = xlNormal followed by xlMaximize, it doesn't change anything.

recently excel 2003 began forcing the save as dialogue box when i try to close the workbook. I do not remember installing anything in particular on my machine when it started acting up.
I tried uninstalling office with Revo Uninstaller (gets rid of those pesky registry entries that the control panel add/remove leaves behind).
I reinstalled and I have the same issue.
Im thinking it is a macro of some sort as when I open the program holding down shift, it does not prompt me to save as when I exit. I do have one excel add in installed, but I have used it for many years without any issues.

I am working on a project from work and am having trouble with formatting the final version that is sent to customer.
We have one tab that is named "initial" where all of the information such as Serial number, connection type, etc. is entered.
We have another tab, named "final", that is automatically populated with this information. This final tab is locked from the end user.
Once the user finishes entering data into the "initial" tab they delete the rows below that are not used. Because these rows are now deleted the "final" sheet shows "#REF!" for all of these cells.
I have attached some screen shots as examples.
I would like to be able to put some logic in the formula to make the output on the "final" tab match the initial tab. Ideally, when the user deletes the rows that are not used on the "initial" tabs this controls the amount of rows seen on the "final" tab and we don't have all of the #REF! symbols.

Let's say my horizontal scrollbar is 2/3 of the way to the right and I'm currently viewing columns EA thru EZ. If I turn on VBA macro recording, the Excel auto-generated VBA macro code that gets saved when I press Ctrl-Home is Range("xx").Select, where "xx" upper-left-most cell based on frozen panes [e.g. Range("T3").Select]. While recording the macro, when I press Ctrl-Home my Excel view horizontally scrolls all the way to the left such that cell T3 is selected such that I'm now viewing columns T thru AS (which is what I want). If I start with the horizontal scrollbar 2/3 of the way to the right again and I use Range("T3").Select in a VBA macro, cell T3 gets selected like before -- but Excel doesn't horizontally scroll all the way to the left to where I would be viewing columns T thru AS; it just stays with columns EA thru EZ in view. Is there some way to force the horizontal scrollbar all the way to the left with VBA code? I tried searching the FAQ and didn't find anything there. I'm using Excel 2007 on a Windows7 PC.

I am using the below code to force a range of cells to change to Upper Case, what i am after is an exception to the rule for example the words Pick Up i don't want to force to upper case, is there VBA i can add to the below to achieve this?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
''''''''''''''''''''''
'Forces text to UPPER
''''''''''''''''''''''
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("w6:w299")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = UCase(Target)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0

the way my spreadsheet's set up so far is that each employee should have a goal of, say, 100 for how many people they need to sign up. But they each have specific geographic breakdowns in their turf, some of which might be bigger or smaller than others, but at the end should all add up to 100 for each employee.
It's not super hard to do since I just take a goal of 100, in this example, and multiply it by the percent of population of the area in their overall assignment and give them a goal for that area based on that. So if Philadelphia has 70% of their total population, Upper Darby has 20% of their total population, and Phoenixville has 10% of their total population -- the goals would come out like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 70
Upper Darby, Goal: 20
Phoenixville, Goal: 10
Ryan, Total Goal: 100
For some of the employees, that works out perfectly -- but based on the population sizes, the rounding sometimes gets a little off and it could end up like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 71
Upper Darby, Goal: 19
Phoenixville, Goal: 11
Ryan, Total Goal: 101
For most employees, it ends up being dead-on 100 -- but there are some whose totals are at 98 or 99 or 101, and I was wondering if there was a way to force it to shave a point off or add a point on somewhere, pending on how close the decimal was when it rounded to make sure that it always ends up exactly on 100. (I'm using 'Data >> Subtotals' to get what's being represented above as "Ryan, Total Goal.")

Is it possible to lock a cell so that the user must enter the number manually as opposed to using a formula.
There is a cell on one of our spreadsheets that the user should be hand entering the numbers from the general ledger this is done to ensure that the general ledger balance is the same as the spreadsheets totals. However most of the user insert a formula that just copies the number from above into this cell that should be hand entered.

I have written a custom function which is called in lots of cells. It had an error so I modified it. But the modification did not automatically trigger recalculation in the cells where it is used. Neither did F9 (manual recalculation). The only thing that did is hitting F2 for the cell then ENTER. But what a pain to do that for every cell it's used.

I am wondering if there is any way to "force" a number to have three decimal places instead of two and still have that number valued as a number for use in formulas later (like AVERAGE, etc.).
What I have is a combination of HLOOKUPs, IF statements, and Conditional Formatting.
I have a Master Grades sheet and individual Class sheets. I use an HLOOKUP, matching a Student Number in both sheets, and looking in the Class sheet for the P/F indicator. If the indicator is a F, the HLOOKUP is to return the Final Grade from the Class sheet and input that into the Master Grades sheet, forced to three decimal places (whereas the numbers in the Class sheets are at two decimal places) If the indicator is P, the HLOOKUP simply returns the Final Grade from the Class sheet and inputs it into the Master Grades sheet with two decimal places.
I have the failure grades forced to three decimal places so that the Conditional Formatting in the Master Grades sheet highlights the failed grades for teachers and anyone else can see right away that a student failed, but the number still allows the Master Grades sheet to calculate the overall AVERAGE for the student as well as the AVERAGE for that class.
If any of this is not quite clear, please ask and I can further expand on what I am doing.
Here is the code I have right now that is not working correctly (and I know why it's not): ....

I have a advanced filter that works pretty much close to how I want it to. However I would like it to either cancel the new filter or copy everything if it finds 0 matches.
If the copied location is blank it breaks my sheet. So I need to find a way for it to never be blank, either by canceling it, copying everything, or finding some other way I haven't thought of.
Also for some reason my Advanced Filter does NOT Ignore blank "OR" cells. If I place a word in the top cell, then leave the bottom blank, it searches for the top cell or anything and I end up with everything. Its quite frustrating.
