We have a list of numbers in a spreadsheet (telephone numbers). The numbers have been put in with () around the country code and hypens separating the rest of the numbers - for example (44) 0111-123456
Is it possible to remove the formatting to just read as a full number e.g 0111123456? I have loads to do and the thought of doing it manually is painful!
I want to show numbers on my excel spreadhseet in thousands. However, the challenge is I want to show negtive numbers in red within brackets. For instance, I have a number -104,784,089. I want to display it as (104,784) in red color. Similarly, I want to show 577,090 as 577. Is there a customer formatting I can set up in excel that do that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get working is that I want it to auto-adjust what holes I get shots on if and when my handicap changes. This would work something like this:
I have a sheet with the course score card mapped out. Holes 1-18 etc with the stroke index of each hole (level of difficulty - i.e. hole 1 might be stroke index 14, hole 2 stroke index 6, hole 18 might be stroke index 18 etc etc)
I also have a sheet with my handicap cell which I can enter and change accordingly.
On this same sheet are my scores, with holes 1-18. The way I'd like it to work is that if my handicap is currently 8 holes that are stroke index 1 to 8 are given a red (or whatever colour) border. The rest are left alone. If my Handicap changes to say 6, I enter 6 in the handicap cell and this automatically adjusts so that holes with a stroke index 1 to 6 are bordered in a colour.
I have multiple large spreadsheets of questionnaire data. Responses are as %'s
What I would like to do is use conditional formatting to pick out the top 3 of each set of questions per column not including 0% (if it falls in the top 3). Using different shades of green in the cell background and a white font.
so.....
The spreadsheets are up to 3000 rows long and up to column BB wide. The sets of questions are of random length spaced by an empty row. So question 1 may have 11 parts to it, each taking up a row so 12 rows in total. Question 2 may have 5 parts taking up row each so 6 rows in total...............Question 80 may have 7 parts so 8 rows in total and on and on.
What I have been doing is working down the first column of responses and manually adding the conditional formatting. Then using the format painter to copy across the relevant rows and columns. For example if Question one was from c5:bb26 I would format c$5:c$26 with the top three then use format painter to drag across to bb5:bb26 ...
Is there a way to format a column or range in a spreadsheet that would prevent other formats from being pasted from another spreadsheet?
Obscure question I know...i.e. column A should always be the same font, size, color, border and text format. I want to prevent the user from copying junk from another spreadsheet & pasting all into column A; similar to paste special > values.
I have a spreadsheet that tracks Auditing Dates. Cell A1 has today's date =Today()
Column B2 has the first Audit Date (hard keyed), cell C2 has the second Audit Date (formula =+B2+182), cell D2 has the third Audit date (formula =+C2+182), etc. . . I would like the format of the Audit dates to flag the last audit date in the row red if it is prior to today's date (cell A1).
I have a list of files in folders.
When I make the index of those folder, i have an excel list with in column A these numbers
1.1.1.1 (so the file 1 in the 1st subsubfolder in the 1st subfolder in the first folder)
1.1.1
1.2.1.1
1.2.2
1.3.1
etc... The list goes on with 1000s rows.
And in column B I have the names of the files
Unfortunately, when i sort the spreadsheet with the number on column A, the order is not good....
So I would like to find a solution to sort things in the good order.
i have a worksheet filled with numbers in each cell (the worksheet might have a total of 150 rows and 150 columns of numbers).
the numbers typically range from 1-3 or 1-9 or 1-150.
however, there are also multiple 997, 998, and 999 numbers in the cells.
i need to identify the highest number in the worksheet that is not 997, 998, or 999.
i need to find the missing numbers from 12 rows of 20 numbers.
ie, i have these numbers (only between 1-80) and need to find the *normally* 2 numbers that are not in that list between 1-80. there are 14 rows in this example
134810131417182832464855565758596475
412131417212223303235374044545861707880
57101117202528303435363940495155606264
35121823254148495051565860646670767879
311161719212225262829404447586063697578
126713162326353638394652535863707678
710172021272930414445464750515569727374
[code].....
these numbers wont be the same every time, but in theory after i enter 12 rows there should be only 5/6 numbers left max.
i need a script so that when i copy/paste 12 rows, i can be presented with the numbers not in that field. or even if i have a field of 1-80 displayed, then i copy paste my numbers in the fields below and can somehow highlight which numbers between 1-80 aren't in my pasted fields on the 1-80 field.
btw the numbers missing here are 24-68
ps im using excel starter 10 if that makes a difference
Open a brand new spreadsheet whether the format is set to "General" or "Text" it will not let me enter numbers. For example, when I enter 2007 in the cell it displays 20 07 not really that big of space between the two zeros - but still a space. I can't format this no matter what I do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to increase & decrease numbers evenly for a spreadsheet.
I have a number in cell F16 that can be changed and for this example say it has a value of 900.
I have a number in cell F17 that is always more than cell F16, for this example lets say it is 1000.
What I'm trying to do is create 10 numbers evenly increasing away from 900 (F16) in value, & 10 numbers evenly decreasing in value away from 900 (Cell F16) but here's the catch.
What makes this tricky is that the numbers that are increasing in value away from 900 (F16) can't be bigger than the value of F17 , IE in this example the number 1000
So the formulas must evenly distribute 10 numbers BETWEEN 900 & 1000. This must have the same even distribution for the increasing numbers & decreasing numbers.
I'll attach a sheet also. So, if you say 900 is a starting point & 1000 is the ending point, what formulas would you need in each cell to evenly increase to 1000?
Also,, going the other way, decreasing, away from 900 at the same rate as the increase?
Really stuck n this 1.

I developed a 14-day work schedule and I assigned each different job position a number. The different job positions are numbered 1-6 and are as follows: #1=5:30am-1:30pm, #2=6:00am-2:00pm, #3=9:30am-1:30pm, #4=12:00pm-8:00pm, #5=1:00pm-8:00pm & #6=6:00pm-8:00pm. Numbers 1,2,4,5 clock-out for a 30 minute lunch break, while the other numbers do not.
My goal is to insert the numbers 1-6 into the spreadsheet throughout the 14 days for each employee, and have Excel calculate the total number of hours for each employee in the far right column. I would also like "V" & "H" to equal 7.5 hours. This would save a lot of time instead of going through and adding up the hours with a calculator
I have a single page spreadsheet. I want to print multiple copies and have a unique invoice number on each page printed in cell O1. I don't want to just send it to the printer as individual print jobs. I would like to send it to print as a pdf in a single 100 page document or if not a pdf then just as a multiple page document.
For example first print run would start at number 1001 and last numbered page is 1101.

View 6 Replies View Relatedis there a way to have the number formatting in Text() variable? For instance, I want to reference a cell that can change between $1.00 and $10,000,000.00.
Let's say that in A3, the number turns out to be $10,000.00.
When I put in text(a3,"$0.00") it spits out $10000.00. But if I go the other route and go text(a3,"$000,000,000) it displays "$000,010,000.00".
I create many charts with a lot of parantheses. I have to use Word tables usually so that I can align the parantheses OUTSIDE the numbers, so that the numbers are still right aligned. Is there a format option in Excel that would allow me to do the same?

I am using the following format code for the y axis of a line chart. I am shortening the axis to show 3M or 500K instead of $3,000,000 or $500,000. I can't get it to work with negative numbers, I get the full $3,000,000. Somewhere I read you can only do 3 formats in a formula. Is there a way to include negative numbers using this formatting?

I am currently using the following format to display numbers in my excel.
_(* #,###,###_);_(* (#,###,###);_(* "-"_);@
The brackets and underscores are used so that the positive and negative numbers align with overhanging brackets.
I want to modify the format such that it is able to display decimals where ever applicable.
For example
1,000 display as 1,000
0 display as a dash "-"
1.265 display as 1.265
-0.51 display as (0.51)
I tried changing it to:
_(* #,###,###.###_);_(* (#,###,###.###);_(* "-"_);@
However it added a "." to all positive and negative numbers regardless of whether there were decimals after it.
e.g.
10 displayed as 10.
-30 displayed as (30.)
In otherwords - I am trying to find the "general" format and modify it to include brackets for negative number, and also modify it so that the positive numbers aligning with the negative numbers with the ) over hanging.

I have almost 300-400 records of such data which needs formatting. There are n number of IDs in the first column & corresponding data in columns 2 & 3.
For those rows which have identical ID numbers, I need to fill those rows with some unique shade of color. If you look at the next sheet, I have manually colored the rows & that is my desired outcome. The shade of color does not matter. It just needs to be unique for each ID.
