Formatting Specific Digits...
Aug 5, 2008is there some way to conditionally change the last digit into something else entirely? 1222 should be 122.25, 1224 should be 122.50, and 1226 should be 122.75.

I tried to do the same using wild card, and left function but didn't get the desired output.
i need to format my numbers in the following format
10,00,000.00
the first three digits will be separated and then subsequently 2 digits
I wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?
Does anybody know of a special format or a rounding function that displays or rounds a number off to a specific number of significant digits.
Lets say I would like 3 significant digits this would be the results:
0.40019 -> 0.400
6.543 -> 6.54
12.543 -> 12.5
32 -> 32.0
564.7894 -> 565
54387 -> 54400 (or 5.44E+4 to be correct, but i can live with 54400)
I am trying to create a formula that sums all the cells that have numbers that begin with 12. For example, here are the numbers in cells A1 through A6 (my actual spreadsheet is much larger):
12
1200
13
1
120
112
I want to pull the 12, 1200, and 120 for a total of 1332.
Is it possible to set conditional formating so the cell is filled with color only if a value in the cell has more then 2 decimal digits?
It doesn't matter if I set the cell formating to show only 2 decimal digits, it still contains a value with more digits and that causes an error. I need to make it visible for viewers.
The value itself is being pasted by users so they don't even know it has more then 2 decimal digits as they paste the value with formating as well.
I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)
I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay ‘07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc ‘07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage ‘01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir ‘07
Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994
Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘05
DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet
1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.
Can Conditional Formatting be set on multiple values? I cannot get this to work with any formula, the cell values are not between two values. For example: for value = D or R, or X change color to green. (I would have another condition within a range F to Q)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a column which lists emails and I want to highlight any email that does not contain a specific domain.
I started to make rules to highlight those addresses that were specifically @msn.com and @gmail.com, when I thought that it would be easier to just say highlight everything that is not @testers.com
I am having an issue with some code that I have typed up to reset the formatting for a specific range after having been copied from a different source. The issue I am having is the screen updating continues to reset no matter what I have tried. The code is a simple "Format Paint", but the range that is copied is located behind a graph in attempts to remain hidden. The primary function of the macro works fine, but every time I paste a value into the X8:AE54, the graph disappears and exposes cells I do not want to be seen.

I am looking to count the number of cells in a range c22:v22 that have bold red font, from conditional formatting.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a conditional formatting rule that checks for misspellings of client names.
My employees input client names into a spreadsheet, and I need for the spreadsheet to notify them via a fill color if they have misspelled the name.
So, I set up a rule for each client name using the specific text criteria.
The rule simply checks for the client's name, and fills the cell green if the client's name is correct. If the client's name is misspelled, then the cell remains unfilled.
This works great if the client's name is spelled correctly, or spelled incorrectly.
But there's one hitch:
If the client's name is spelled correctly, but there is some extra character(s) inputted after the client's name, the cell is still filled green even though the data in the cell is useless because the extra character will cause it to be rejected by the next party down the line in the value chain.
So I'm hoping to find a way to make the specific text containing criteria operate with only the specific text I specify and no extra characters or anything after the specific text.
I need to be able to assign colors to cells depending on what text is inputted.
If a name start with letters between:
A - Cald (I want the cell to be Yellow)
Call - Eg (I want the cell to be Black)
Ek - Hall (I want the cell to be Red)
Etc.....
I'm having issues with conditional formatting. I used the INDIRECT formula to highlight specific rows.
For example, column A has the days of the week. I wanted the whole row highlighted if it was a Saturday. I used:
=INDIRECT("a"&Row())="Sat"
What I want to do now is to highlight specific cells (Columns F and G) if column A has Friday in it. I do not want the whole row highlighted if it contains Friday.
I have a lost of questions with a possible yes / no answer that is selected via a checkbox. I now need to change the colour of a specific cell if the number of the answers marked yes is greater than the number of questions answerd no.
E.g.
Question 1)Does 11 come after 10?
Question 2)Does 5 come after 6?
Question 3)Is 20 larger than 15?
I.e. The majority of answers are yes so Sheet1!n4 will be coloured green for example
I am trying to get conditional formatting to work on this problem but I am getting nowhere fast,
In A1 I have a start date, I want B1 to turn Green if A1 is less that 1 year old, C1 to turn Yellow if A1 is between 1 - 3 years old and D1 to turn red if A1 is more then 3 years old.
How can I get cells in a column to be highlighted if the cell contains anything other than the word "approved"?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to find a way of formatting an entire row based on the contents of cells in each column. However i come unstuck when trying to make the column dynamic. Below is an example:
Month
2010
2011
2012
[Code]....
The idea is that i say current year is 2011 and all rows where C contains an a will turn green. What i would like to achieve is that when i change current year to say 2012 the conditional formatting adjusts so that it looks at D instead of C.
How to get "some specific holidays" highlighted by doing conditional formatting in series of "date columns"?? I got to know how to get "sunday" highlighted...but again problem with specific holidays...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know how to set a conditional for a cell to change a color when i apply a specific value, but how about if i want to set E2 cell to change to green when i place a 'X' on F2?
Pretty much I want 2 columns that say Yes and the Other No. When i place a X on Yes that other cell turns green, if i place a X on No that other cell turns red.
I have an excel spread sheet & I wish to highlight any cell that contains any of the following characters with in a string of text.
/ : * " < > ? |
E.g. a cell in the spread sheet containing the text "Is this a Question?" would be highlighted.
I have tried to use - 'Format only cells that contain' > Specific Text > Containing > for each of the characters and this does not work.
When I do this any cell containing any text is highlighted.
In addition there is formatting on any cell > 60 characters which turns the cell red and this works fine.
What would happen if (when I get the problem above resolved), a cell is > than 60 characters & contains a character listed above?
Does 1 formatting take precedent over another?
(Not critical to know the answer to the additional question, just curious - as long as it is highlighted one colour or another then no problem.)
Is it possible to check the conditional state for a specific condition for a specific cell.
For example a cell has 1 or more conditions.
A condition will toggle to a condition if true or false etc.
The specifics is i use red (color 255) if a cell has not met a specific condition (of 1 or more conditions)
So if the cell is mandatory to be populated, and is blank, it will be red, if not it will be something else.
But i want to loop all visible cells with conditional formatting, and where the cell has a condition when true will show interior color = to 255 return the cell address.
To msg the user where data entry is still required etc.
I am trying to work with conditional formatting to turn a field a specific color based on two conditions, one of which is variable. The first condition is a list of ongoing events (which can change) and the second condition is a set of known milestones. I want to create a control (check boxes?) that will turn a given field (which has dates in it from another calculation) to either Red, Yellow, or Green.
I was thinking two Dropdown boxes - one for the events and one for the milestones. The user would choose an event, choose the milestone, then choose a checkbox or something to change the color of a field elsewhere in the spreadsheet. Right now, I'm doing this in a very clumsy way by having three checkboxes for each milestone for each event. There are five milestones per event (so 15 checkboxes per event on Sheet2). I will likely have 70+ events so I was hoping for a better way to do this. I've done this for the first three events and need a more efficient way of doing this.
See the attachment : Event Milestones based on Go Date Uploadable.xlsx‎
I can't seem to find a way to find the max of only the last four digits of a cell, matching the first 8. As an example:
I have thousands of cells in a column like this, (and I can't add any columns to the sheet), and I have a cell with the first three digits and the second three digits. So, out of all these numbers, I want the MAX of ONLY the numbers with the first 8 digits of "800-123-". Also, the decimal on the end is how many times the number was called, and any the decimal and any number after it is to be ignored. The answer would be "800-123-0024", or "0024", I just need a faster way to find it without searching for it.
888-555-0099.2
800-123-0022.3
555-333-0474
[Code]....
I have a long list of 4 digit numbers:
e.g.
0234
2434
6566
4566
6785
But I only want the first 2 digits (I need the last two digits deleted). I don't want to just divide by 1000 as this will leve me with a decimal. The numbers are in text format as some of them begin with a 0. So it would be:
02
24
65
45
67
I would like to take the first three digits of column A and do a lookup of column B that would return the corresponding number from column C. For example, if I entered the formula for 103PH, the lookup would find the 103 in column B and return "2775.00" from column C...........
