View 2 RepliesIs there a way to format cells to where - when you type in a certain person's first name, it will insert something entirely different?
This has seemed to have happened on a computer at work.
In Excel, when I type in "Martha" then tab, or otherwise leave that cell, Martha changes to "Cool"
If I type in anyone elses name - it stays that name. But if I type in "Martha" .. it changes to "Cool" with the bullet and the word Cool.
I've attached part of the file I'm working with, and can't figure out how to align the text to the top in the merged cells titled description. How do I format the cell so that if there isn't two lines of type in the description it remains aligned with the quantity and price
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I have done is create a macro in Excel and then opened up the VBA editor to make a lot of changes to the initial macro. I am reformatting a whole lot of separate spreadsheets over many workbooks.
Here is the code that is generating the error (Run-Time error '438', Object doesn't support this property or method):
Code:
Range("E2").Select
Selection.Format = "long date"
With Selection
.Font.Size = 11
' .Format = LongDate
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
As you can see, I first tried the ".Format = LongDate" and did put LongDate in "" which did not work, then I tried the "Selection.Format = ..." after the "Range" statement, and that did not work either. So you will actually know, I am trying to set the format for the cell "E2" to a Long Date format.
I need to turn millions (I'm guessing around 4-5 million, though I'm not completely sure since I don't have a program that can actually open the file completely since it's so large) of lines of text which are formatted like this:
05/15/09 09:45:01 AM 16600 1
into lines which are formatted like this:
20090515 094501;16600;1
I could do it by hand, but since there are literally millions of lines like this, it would probably take me about a year to do. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to do this relatively quickly in Excel?
2. When I open this file in Excel, the year and time tabs aren't filled in with the year and time, but simply with "#######", though if I click on the cell, the year or time is displayed up in the "fx" function bar thing. Is there a way to keep these cells from displaying as "#######"?
3. Right now when I open the file (it's a CSV file), it only opens a little over 1 million of the lines, and an alert pops up that says the entire file was not opened. Is there any way to get the entire file to open? If not, how could I split the file into pieces that are small enough for Excel, and then how could I join those pieces back together?
macro that would keep all lines containing a number greater than zero in column D and delete all of the other lines?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a schedule for some of my employees (300 to be exact) and I was trying to work out a way of speeding things up a bit. I've made plenty of pretty complex equations for working with the task but the solution for what I would like to do now alludes me.
Here's the challenge: I have a sheet where I would like to insert employees within row 4 and then have their shifts shown visually in the column below that, and have the hours they work put into a merged cell (or something similar), like what can be seen in the blue cell under "Employee 1" (C6). What I would like to do is just have something like a VBA detect that a series of cells is merged (red cells) and insert the corresponding time, located within B5:B33, into that cell (with same format as the blue cell). Also, above the employee's name I could put a button to run something like a macro to run the program for the corresponding employee directly under that button.
Essentially I want to merge a series of cells, hit a button, and have excel locate and input the correct times within that merged cell.
I have a large spreadsheet which includes many rows whose number format needs to change depending on the value of a specific cell.
So for example:
If cell B20 has value "A", cells Q20:AG20 should display as 1,234
If cell B20 has value "B", cells Q20:AG20 should display as 5.6%
If cell B20 has value "C", cells Q20:AG20 should display as 7.89
Etc...
As conditional formatting does not seem to include a number format option I've worked out that I need some sort of macro to change these settings for me, either automatically whenever the value of B20 changes or, more likely, when I manually choose to run the macro.
I am looking for VB code that will format a range of cells from a number format to a percentage format based on a reference cell. The reference cell is a drop down created from a list validation.
For example: If the reference cell (cell A1) =1 then cell range B2:C4 would be a number format. If A1 = 2 then cell range B2:C4 would be a percentage format.

I have a table which is refreshed from a view on our SQL server. I use a part of this data further on and would like to automate the following: I would like to have a range set which I can use to loop through data. The range should hold the filtered data of table "PremiumTable", the columns "Grouping2", "Price", "Grower"
I have found a couple of posts giving the ability to create a range of visible cells and specific columns, but I wasn't able to combine this yet.
I'll get straight to the point: How can I change this text format from 474556788 to 0-47455678-8 (dash added after 0 and before the last number). I need to apply this to around 5000 rows (can't do that manualy). I want it to be int his format:
474556788 to 047-455678-8
Tks Auto Merged Post;474556788 to 047-455678-8 (This is the wanted format)
I have a value that the user is suppose to type in the range(A3). The format is as follow: 20091227-I1 (yyyymd-Letter and No.) The letters are I and EK and after the letter a # from 1-10.
I want to create a macro, which reads the Range(A3). If the format is incorrect, then a MsgBox would display "Typing error. Please type the year, month, date, dash, letter (I or EK) and number."
I don't have a problem creating the message box. My problem is validating the Range(A3) with the specified format.
I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number in any cell of column(B) for example (B1)=10. then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1) = (90) and if I add in cell (B2)=10 then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 .accumulatively in cell (C1). and any number in column (B), the result will be (A1) minus any number in column(B) accumulated in (C1)
second question
I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number at cell (B1) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C1) = (A1) - ( B1) = 90 and If I enter a new number in cell (B2) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C2) = (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 and If I enter a new number in cell (B3) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C3) = (A1) - (B1+B2+B3) = 70 and so on. I want the result to be add automatically to adjacent cell in column (C)
I have a column : Customer Number
Customer Number: we have 2 types of customer numbers (12 or 13 alphanumeric)
eg: 446828442414 (12 alphanumeric) or 8144144141442 (13 alphanumeric)
and need them formatted according to number of digits
If 12 alphanumeric: 00<3space>0<3space>00<3space>00<3space>00<3space>000
i.e. : 44 6 82 84 42 414
or if 13 alphanumeric: 000<3space>000<3space>00<6space>00<3space>0<3space>00
i.e.: 814 414 41 41 4 42
suggestion: IF (No. of characters = 12) use 12 alphanumeric space format
or
IF (No. of characters = 13) use 13 alphanumeric space format
I'm in the process of setting up an Excel document and I need to be able to have it display dates in a specific format. I need it to express just a month and year such that the month is represented by a letter (A thru L) and the year is expressed as its last two digits such as in the these examples:
May 2012 = E12
Mar 2009 = C09
Nov 2011 = K11 etc.
I want the date to come out in this format regardless of how the user enters it.
If A1 is 81209, how can I use functions in B1 to convert it into DEC/09/2008?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI work in the flooring industry and the format we use for cuts of carpet/vinyl is 40-3 (for 40.25 feet), etc. So we are trying to create an excel spreadsheet that will add up these cuts. Right now it's kind of a mess because we have decimals in a column we will be hiding and are converting that to our industry format.
The formula I am having trouble with is as follows:
=MID(A18,1,FIND(".",A18)-1)&"-"&MID(A18,FIND(".",A18),3)*12
The problem is that whenever the totals end in zero, the formula won't convert 40.00 to 40-0. It gives me an error every time. If the total is 40.25 it will convert it to 40-3 just fine.
Is there any way to format the date to DD/MM/YY, and user should be restricted in entering any other formats other than DDMMYY

I have employee numbers in two ranges of cells where the employee number will have alpha and numeric (ASAZ002000). The first is a range of “target” employees we need to look at.(A4:A20). The second range will be all employees of the company that the target list needs to check in for the specific target employee(s).(G4:G25). If a “target” employee is found within the range of all (G4:G25) – highlight cell red (G4:G25). I have attached a small file that might explain it better.
