Is there any way of formatting a cell to show a percentage with a fraction? For example, I'd like to show: 3 1/3%, 1 2/3%, 2 1/2%, etc.
I'm showing data to a client who will pull out his calculator and add up the decimals on his calculator and be unhappy that the numbers don't add up to 100%.
I can force the output by using TEXT() or multiple columns, but ideally, I'd like a custom format if possible.
I have row 2 formatted as a fraction and row 1 formatted as percentage.
I am looking for way to return the percentage of row 2 in row 1. I.E. If i have 3/4 in a2, I want it to return 75% in a1. I have figured a formula to return a percentage for numbers with only 1 item to the left of the division sign (i.e., 3/4). That correctly returns 75%. I am struggling with working a formula to also return larger numbers (e.g. 12/15).
I'm using excel 2010......
I have a column of cells with values - 0.2%, 0.32%, 0.22, 0.5 etc. The cells with % symbol are in ' Percentage, 2 decimal' format while the plain numbers are in 'General' format i.e. column contains cells in either of these formats. I need a macro where I can specify the column and it will select the cells with the % format, convert it to 'General' and multiply the result by 100 eg. 0.2% converted to 'General' becomes 0.002. When multiplied by 100, result is 0.2 i.e. is displayed without the % symbol.

Here is what I have come up with: 0.00%;[Red]-0.00%
The problem is, it has no "," it would display as 23555555.6% or -2355555.6%
I need it to display as: 23,555,555.6% or -23,555,555.6%
How would this be written?
Additionally, I have occasion to "abbreviate" in the following format:
23.55MM% or 1.5M% or -23.55MM% or -1.5M%
For currency, I have it written in this manner:
Currency: [>=1000000] $#,##0.0,," MM";[>0] $#,##0.0," M";[Red]($#,###," M")
I just freeze when trying to convert to percentage.
I've been using conditional formatting for some times now, but this is the first time I have this problem..
I've using conditional formatting to display icon besides a sets of numbers/percentage. The condition is as follows:
--- >= 75, green
--- >= 60, yellow
--- < 60, red
When I used this for "number", it works flawlessly.
But when it comes to "percentage", disaster strikes.. I am getting a Yellow for 75%, and red for 60%.
Below is a screen shot that I did to illustrate the issues. The set of numbers on the left is OK. But the same set on the right, just in percentage, doesn't work well..
I have the following code
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
TextBox1.Text = Range("P" & UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListIndex + 3).Value
TextBox2.Text = Range("N" & UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListIndex + 3).Value[code].....
In TextBox3, the user will input a percentage as a whole number, IE: 5 for 5%, but when the update is made, it is writing the "5" as 500% and is writing 50 as 5000%.
If there is already a percent in the cell it calls up IE: 50%, it shows up in TextBox3 as .5%
I would like to do the following: * Format numeric cells (cells with a percent sign) to zero decimal places. I have a set of macros that I am combining to clean up a data set and these are two of many (removing blank lines, duplicates, blue/bold, etc.)

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I get a fraction to show as a fraction rather than decimal in the formula bar by formatting the cell as text.
For ex:
I have "-3/4" in a cell formated as "TEXT" I expect it to show "-3/4" in formula bar but it shows "-0.75".
Im combing 2 cells into 1 but using a fraction..
I created 2 examples of what im trying to do..
Example.
A1 = 22
A2 = 11 3/4
=A1&"'-"&TEXT(A2,"# ?/?")&"''"
[b]22'-11 3/4"[b]
but when A2 = 11
i get this..
22'-11___''
on excel it has some space between the 11 and '' but i cant show that here..
i would like the '' to be next to the 11. is there any way to do that?
I 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 14 Replies View RelatedI write up job cards that require measurements in fraction form. Usually whenever i want to round off a figure , say 10/16, to 5/8, i right click on the figure and format cell it. However, this can be quite time consuming if there are multiple cells and are of a different breakdown.
What i would like to know if there's a shortcut way where when the 10/16 is in the cell, it automatically rounds off to the nearest fraction.

Changing fraction to decimal, needs to remain fraction.
I have played w/ the formatting to make Number w/ zero decimal places and then selected Fraction, but no luck there.
I am working on a simple calculater, what I want to do is figure sq. inches my problem is every thing I try the decimals won't calculate right,, this is a example of what I want to do
8.25x10.75= 81 sq"

Round Down 8.80" to 8.75".
Is there any combination of Rounddown and Mround that will accomplish this?
I am trying to paste in a decimal equivalent chart, loacted here:
http://www.advancedtool.com/prod02111.asp
which basically has a mixture of whole numbers and fractions, and how they equate in decimals.
When I paste this in, all the fractions turn into dates. So for instance 1/64 turns into Jan/64, and 1/32 is Jan/32. Now, I could go in and change each one, but I would like to know how to do this with cell format on the entire sheet....
I have tried to change the cell formats to "general" or "text" and of course fraction, but in this case, I have to go in and do each fraction cell individually. Now maybe I am being too lazy, and in the time it took me to look up my login information, and type this out, I likely could have re-done the worksheet, each cell individually, but I would like to know the way to fix this automatically.
I have created a "heat map" in VBA that takes fractional values and "ranks" them in 10 equal bands, then assigns a colour to each band. (Hopefully that made sense to you VBA experts out there)
However, I now want to look at the numerators of these fractions, rank these, and do something like "if the numerator is > x then proceed, else exit. Is there a way to reference these numerators directly? If so, is there a way to store them in some sort of array then take the max value too?
I've tried searching this and it seems like this should be a simple answer, but is there any way I can reference the numerator of a fraction in Excel? These cells will contain formulae; so they'll be E5/C5 for example.
I simply cannot insert a one eighth symbol in my spreadsheet.. I used to be able to see this in the Insert Symbols grib but now all I get are lots of question market.. if I use
selection.value = ChrW(8569)
the symbol does appear until I select the cell and press return, after which point it turns into a question mark.. I'm sure its something to do with my settings but I can't figure out what.. this is really important for me.
I know that if I enter =3/4 in a cell it will give me .75 but is there is formula to convert fractions into decimals or is this the best way to do it? I was also wondering if there is some way to convert the decimal amount to a fraction
for measurement conversions I know that
=B3*25.4 will convert a decimal to mm and so will the formula =CONVERT(E4,"in","mm")
and to convert mm to a decimal a few formula that work are
=CONVERT(H3,"mm","in")
=MROUND(H4/25.4, 1/8)
=H5/25.4
=INT(H6/25.39999918*8)/8
But is there a way to convert a fraction to the decimal and is there a way to convert mm to a fraction instead of the decimal equivalent of the fraction?
or maybe a formula to convert mm to inches but instead of the result being in decimal format it would be in fraction format?

Inmates can apply for pre-release when they have half their minimum sentence served. For example 2 years 6 months. They would have to serve 1 year 3 months.
I use this formula
=DATE(YEAR(A1)-A5,MONTH(A1)-B5,DAY(A1)-B6)
Where A1 is half the years, B5 is half the months, and B6 is half the days. The problem is when an inmate is sentenced to a minimum of 3 years and 3 months. The latter formula will not calculate 1.5 years or 1.5 months. It rounds up. What I would like to do is covert the 1.5 years to months and the 1.5 months to days.
Below is a sample. I was given a spreadsheet and it contains fractions formatted as General. I need to do a calculation based on the fractions. Example there is a number in A1 lets say 3 and a fraction formatted as general in a2 1/216 and I need to multiply A1 * A2 but obviously I get a value error. If I go to another sheet and format the cell as a fraction then the multiplication works. My spreadsheet is full of the general formatted fractions.

i have a combo boxes populated with fractions 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 etc up to 15/16.
i just want to output the chosen fraction to a textbox as a decimal.
This is done in a userform, not in a cell.
Is there any way to display one-third 1/3 in a Userform label control?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file that has been produced using Statistica software. The file is supposed to have around one million rows, and when exported to Excel the file is about 30 MB. When I open the .xlsx file in Excel 2010 only two pages of data appear. The rows also have weird numbering. The first square of the A column is A1. The second is A3833, the third is A6789, then A8161, then A8162, then A8163, then A8164, then A18070.
The scroll button to the left of the screen is long, as if the document was only two pages long. When the scroll button is click-and-dragged a small beige square appears with a row number. This small square seems to be aware that not all rows are shown as it shows many more rows than are visible to me.
I have a workbook that I've built for a project. I've attached a sample workbook. What I'm trying to do, for the entire sheet or workbook if possible, is turn any Cell with a percentage of 30% to 49% yellow and any cell with a percentage of 50% or more Red. I would also like to move the ID's of the variable cells, for example Id number 9922, to the cells beside the description of the rows, Affected would be an example, if the information contained in the same row as the ID meets with a set of variables.
For example I only want the ID's moved if they correspond with IDsub 1-25. One more thing, the people who will be using this spreadsheet will be copying data from a website when it is imported it does not insert the values as numbers. I would like to format the cells, in example workbook they would be any of the cells labeled ID IDsub Variable or Number, so that anything put in that cell will automatically be converted to a number.
I should also probably add that the formatting will be done on approximately 80 rows a sheet with 47 sheets.
