Formatting Cells With Hyphens And 0s
Jul 16, 2014
I am having a problem with formatting a cell. I have several (into the hundreds) of items that are being inputed and I am looking for resolution with formatting. I have gotten pretty close but there are some kinks that I can't seem to work out.
The column that I am working on has numbers such as these (they aren't currently formatted)
14-12345
14-01234
14-00123
these numbers are organized by 2 digit year (XX) a hyphen (-) and then a five digit number (XXXXX) hence XX-XXXXX.
My number already have the hyphen in them and the auto format has taken some of the numbers from XXXXX to XXX if the number started with two zeros.
14-123
14-1234
Is there anyway to custom format the cell so that it will turn
This into this
14-123 14-00123
But leave this 14-12345 alone?
The closest I have gotten to an answer is this formula 00"-0"0000, but that messes up the larger numbers.

I generated my urls to online photos, I referenced cells where some are only numerical (ex. 479) while others contain a numerical/text mix (ex. 3014-RACK). Here is my url code in excel...

I have fractions and whole numbers in a column as per the following.
E13 = 3/4
E15 = 5
E17 = 1-1/2
I can use the formula =SUBSTITUTE(E17,"-"," ")+0 which gives the correct result of 2.5 and also correct
for E15 with the answer 5.
But I'm stumped how to get it correct for E13 where it is less than whole number.
I can use the formula =IF(E13=0,0,("0 "&E11)+0) but that won't work for the remainder of the cells.

I am trying to take a list of part numbers that have an undefined number of hyphens in the part number, and remove the hyphens in order to use the VLOOKUP function.
Example part numbers are AA34-55A3-L, 444342-02, etc.
I tried searching for threads that helped on this subject but they all involved VBA, which I do not know how to use with Excel. I took VB senior year of high school and C for a semester in college, so I recognize the commands, but I have no idea how it's implemented.
Is there a [relatively simple] way to do this with Excel functions? If not, how would I implement this using VBA? I am currently using the 2003 edition.

I am trying to sort a column of numbers, and some of the numbers have hyphens in them.
Excel will first sort the non-hyphenated numbers then it will sort the numbers with hyphens.
I would like to be able to sort it all together starting from the lowest first number to the last highest number. I have included an example.

I have a column that orders fine a-z except for the fact that it doesn't group words together with hyphens e.g.:
1.my-flies
2.myflies
3.my-fly
4.myfly
when I want it to be
1.my-flies
2.my-fly
3.myfly
4.myflies

I need a way to randomly generate a number( up to hundred trillion) in cell A1 and in cell B1 have the number appear in word form. Example: 129,114,023,131,453 will appear in A1 and in B1: one hundred twenty-nine trillion one hundred four-teen billion twenty-three million one hundred thirty-one thousands four hundred fifty-three The hyphens are important, commas between the numbers are not necessary. I know that for A1 I can use Randbetween() function to generate the numbers. The problem is generating the word form with the hyphens....

I've a set of 10-digit numbers within a cell, which need to custom formatted in a particular format.
i.e., '1234567890' should be custom formatted to '123-456-7890' (for this i'm using the custom format 000-000-0000)
However, when I have multiple 10-digit numbers like shown in the trix (click here), i'm not able to format them because they are all comma-separated.
Do LMK if there is a workaround

I need to make a macro that will find text between "o/" and "/", remove hyphens from the text it found, and then add it to the end of the current cell contents.
I know how to add to the end of current cell contents, but cannot figure out how to grab text between certain characters or replace hyphens and replace with spaces.

A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.

Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A
Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).
there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.

So i've been trying to do this invoice/inventory/client , I couldn't find a way to somehow register the whole invoice as it is, so i can later print/visualize it if i lost the copy or something.
It would be best if it just stayed stored in a variable and not always visible, and only appeared if i wanted to check/print it.
The whole invoice would be from A1 to F30
Excel 2010 btw

What I am looking to do is;
If cell A2 = "Closed"
then I want cells B2 and C2 to strike through its own text.
I.E.
A2= anything other than "Closed"
then B2 and C2 = Blah blah blah
but if
A2 = Closed
then B2 and C2 = Blah blah blah

i have just read the thread started by scabertrain regarding "if" conditonal formating, but mines slightly different and i cant make head nor tale of the fomula shown.
So... Monthly budgeting... using a projected outgoing (A1) and an actual outgoing (A2) i want the colour "A2" to change depending on whether i have spent over the budgeted amount, green being underspent, orange for on target and red for over spending....
Example:
I predicted (A1) that i was going to spend £50 on a night out, but my actual spending (A2) was £100, i would like A2 to turn to red.

Creating a project tracking sheet that is as automted as possible so that people dont have to populate lots. I have managed to get it to create a new sheet and populate according to a filled out combobox. The user then populates a 'milestone' section. When a button is clicked these are transferred to a GANTT chart type sheet and pasted. Before they are pasted the macro checks if the project title exists, if it does not it first pastes the title LEFT INDENTED. Then follows by pasting the milestones CENTRED. If the title exists, it inserts the milestones under the project title by copying and pasting all milestones. Hence, if milestones are regularly added, it will begin to add duplicates of the same milestone. I need to remove these. I would usually be able to do this however there is often the same milestone in numerous projects which I CANNOT remove as it would loose data. I would like a code that says between the cell I was searching for (Rng) and the next cell which is also left indented to remove duplicates. Basically I can't use x1enddown because it needs to stop at the next cell which has the same formatting... i.e. only duplicates to be removed out of the cells which are centred. I would then like it to repear this action for the whole document and move the next left indented cell and do the same.
It feels like a kind of backward conditional formatting is what I am looking for
Here is my code as it stands
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
FindString = Range("D2").Value
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
[Code]....

I know how to format a cell so that if I type 5 it will say: 5 SF And then in another cell if I type 15, it will say: 15 Units
Is there any way possible to format a cell so that if I type (its actually calculated via formulas) these two numbers in one cell that it will format them both?
EXAMPLE: One cell that has 5, 15 will read: 5 SF and 15 Units

Is there a way to date format a cell so that when I enter only the number date (ie today is October 13 so I'd enter 13) the cell formats to the current month with the date?
So for today I'd enter "13" and the cell would read 13-Oct. Additionally, when the month turns to November that same cell, without me making any changes to it, would change to 13-Nov. For future dates it would always show the current month with the date I entered manually.

I have a spreadsheet to calculate piping offsets, center to center.
The formula in B:1 is simple. Take the length in cell A:1 and multiply
it by the square root of 2.
I then increment the length by 1/8 of an inch through cell A:180 and those
results are place in B:2 thru B:180.
The results are display to the nearest 1/16 of an inch. But if the actual
dimension is eight and one half inch, it is displayed as 8 8/16. For aesthetic
reason i wish to display the reducible fractions reduced. So that 8 8/16
is displayed as 8 1/2 inch.
I understand that i may go to each cell and individually format it accordingly
as halves
as quarters
as eights
but was wondering if there is an easier method.

Is there any way to make one cell on a separate sheet appear EXACTLY the same, including formatting and values?
As in this for example:
Pieces of Paper (Blue)
I would like to keep the formatting for (Blue) , color and bold, but I have not figured out how to do this.

I want to add some colour conditional formatting to the cells in column C, dependent on their variance to the figure in column B. I've got the basic gist of applying the rule to the one single cell, but I'm not sure how to apply it to all the cells in the column. I have tried "dragging" it down, but it then just gives me the variance to the original row.

I have Excel 2003 & am trying to design a template for keeping track of my design products. I have several rows for links to previews, downloads etc. I use the template when placing merchandise in stores so I can copy/paste the info where needed. I want to copy links to a cell but have them be non-clickable. If I paste the link & then right click the cell & choose remove hyperlink I get non-clickable text, however I lose the original formatting for that cell.(left/center/wrap text).

I am trying to adjust a simple formula that I am using:
=IF(D3<>"",1,"") **Note this is clunky, but ISBLANK doesn't seem to work due to D3 containing a formula**
to also change the fill color of A3 to "Red" if data exists in D3. Everywhere I look online for the formula reference tries to point me to Conditional Formatting, Which doesnt seem to apply to seperate cells so I can't use this.

I have an array which includes an if state as such:
for j = 0 to 5
for i = 0 to 10
if menu.value = "Class 1" then
Worksheets(currentsheet).Cells(startrow + j, startcolumn + i).Value = Class1_Schedule(j, i)
elseif menu.value = "Class 2" then
Worksheets(currentsheet).Cells(startrow + j, startcolumn + i).Value = Class2_Schedule(j, i)
else
Worksheets(currentsheet).Cells(startrow + j, startcolumn + i).Value = NightClass_Schedule(j, i)
next i
next j
I want to write some sort of formatting code within this forloop to say
if menu.value = "Class 1" then
position (j,1) = a number to 0 decimal places and position (j,2) has data validation lists.
I know how to use the record macro button but I dont want to code for fixed cells. I would like to use the forloop to do it.

Range(Cells(iVar, 1), Cells(iVar, 12)).Resize(2).FillDown
Range(Cells(iVar, 14), Cells(iVar, 38)).Resize(2).FillDown
Can it be...?
Range(Cells(iVar, 1), Cells(iVar, 12)).Resize(2).FillDown.Format
Range(Cells(iVar, 14), Cells(iVar, 38)).Resize(2).FillDown.Format
Is there any way to filldown only the formatting? I am trying to make it copy only the formatting from those cells in the last used line to the cells in the next line down.
More of the code reads thusly...
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rngNext As Range[code]....
