View 7 RepliesHow well does Excel / VBA deal with data in a binary format? I am working on a Base64 decoder, which in basic terms means I will have 4 numbers, which I need to convert into their binary representations (6 bits each). I then need to combine these binary groups together, and then divide them up differently to give me 3 numbers (made of 8 bits each).I'm just wondering if anyone has any examples on how best to work with binary in Excel? Also if there are an gems of builtin library functions?

I have a formula to find if the Symbol "!" is contained in the a cell. And i want it to input "Undercut Due to Trim Edge" if there is a "!" symbol and blank if there is not. What did I do wrong?
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~!",AL57:AV57)),"UNDERCUT DUE TO TRIM Edge","")
How can I underline the formula in a text like so:
My name is Powder
from this formula
="My name is "&D29
I am using the VLOOKUP function in a cell, however, I would like the value returned to also retain the text format from the table (eg colour and bold). I have attached a simple example (to demonstrate the point) where cell B14 should have the word 'French' in bold red.Example.xlsx

Attempts: I wish underlining text were an option within Format Cells/Custom so I could just use the formula =text(cell reference, "underline"). However, I don't see that as an option in the 2007 or 2010 versions. Is there a way to add "underline text" as my own custom format?
I also tried using "Conditional Formatting" (both "Format cells only that contain" and "Use a formula to determine which cells to format)." I can't quite get it because I don't know how to list names for the former conditional formatting. Vlookup is the only way I know how to refer to a list for the formula based conditional formatting, but this would stop after the first name on the list is found and ignore the rest of them.
I have a sheet set up with names. I have 2 other sheets with spouses and
children that belong to the first sheet. I want to insert a formula that
will look up the correct spouse (based on a member number) and put in it the
column. Same with the children. I tried the vlookup function, but it did
not return the correct result.
i'm having trouble working coming up with a formula. I have a list of people and if i put a x next to their name, i want their name to cross outs. the IF formula does not copy over the format (strikethrough, italics). my question is, what formula would copy this over and change the text?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with two worksheets. I added a formula to the first worksheet
= COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K"). It works fine when I add another COUNTIF that references another column (baseball fans may realize I'm counting total strikeouts for a batter): =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K") However, when I try to expand this to cover more columns, =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!P3,"K")
Excel automatically changes the format of this cell to "Text" and it shows the formula as text instead of calculating it. What could be wrong here? Excel's documentation is woefully inadequate for cases like this. Is there an undocumented limit on how many times I can add COUNTIFs together?

I need to make sure people enter City State and Zip correctly,
I need somehow to validate: City, NC 21312
Validate City with a comma right next to it with a space and then 2 letters and then space or 2 space and 5 numbers.
Is there any way to do this using Validation.
I guess I could separate the cells, but I would rather not do that. Or I could have a message box pop up and ask individually to enter each one, but I would rather not do that.
In Text to Columns, is it possible to set the default column data format to TEXT?

I want to know which are formulas I have to use to get this info in correct format.
I am looking to use the formula's to determine if the contents of a cell, match or meet a given formula.
In this case, 3 alpha + 3 numeric, e.g. ABC123.
I would want it to return a TRUE or FALSE.
I've done it the long way by tearing apart into the 1st through 6th characters, but would enjoy a more succinct method.
I've been working on a particular spreadsheet and I've just noticed that
double clicking the format painter will only format one cell. It won't
retain the format to be put into the next selected cell which it should when
its double clicked. The same goes for copy and paste. Normally once you've
copied something you can paste it into a number of cells individually, one
after the other, but after the first paste selection, the paste option is no
longer available. I can't see any settings under options to fix this. What has happened, and how do I fix it? (I'm using Excel 2003 SP1 - is there a SP2?)
I have VBA code the extracts data from a source and puts it into excel. I need to change the format of some of the extracted data so i can use it for a VLookup formula. Reference the attached example. Columns A AND B have the extraced data which are dates. In Columns C and D or E and F I have typed what I would like the data to look like so I can use in a Vloolup formula. Is there VBA or a formula that word change the format of the dates in Columns A and B to look like C and D or E and F. The changed format could be moved to any new cells or rows.
View 1 Replies View RelatedVBA code which can distinguish whether a cell has been edited by:
selecting an option from a data validation list (DVL)
or
manually editing the text in a cell?
The ""Show error alert after invalid data is entered"" option is unticked to allow both selection from the DVL as well as free format text entries.
The problem arises when using the code below which makes an edited cell within a range display the new value as well as the prior value(s). This works well when using the DVL but not when editing the cell.
Is there any code which can distinguish between the 2?

In the attached sheet, one macro is developed which is not working properly. My req is to convert date from dd-mon-yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd format. (23-jan-2010--> 2010/01/23)
If incomplete date is there, then hyphen should place the gap i.e.
For date like APR-2014------> Output should be 2014/04/--
For date like 1998 -----> Output should be 1998/--/--
The below macro works only for row number 11, 15 and 16.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I copy or cut, I usually get a dashed border around the cells I have copied (or cut), I can then right-click somewhere to paste, but at some point in time recently this functionality has stopped working. The format painter doesn't work either - the paintbrush icon stays pressed for about half a second, then just goes away and I can't paste my formatting.
An operation I often do in excel is to copy a date from one cell, then highlight a few cells elsewhere and press enter to paste the date into them. I also like to right click on a row and Cut, then past it further down my list to re-order things, but this won't work either.
I don't know what I've done to make it go away. If I restart my computer and open a workbook, then I can copy/paste at least once (maybe a few times) then it stops again.
This is caused by a Skype 'click to call' function, but I don't have that installed here. I have actually just tried installing it, so I could run through the uninstall (thinking there might be debris from something previously), but it made no difference.
In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.
First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.
I have an excel sheet full of dates in text format and want to convert them into regular format. For instance, one of the dates listed is in text as "60801". I'd like it to show in regular date format of mm/dd/yyyy, so that 60801 becomes 8/1/2006.
Example......
In D2 I have: =B2
In D3 I have manually input: (space)3-08
As you can see the CONCATENATE puts the "39569" date in A2 But the second line puts the text date as I prefer. What I would like to do is put in a formula or macro in D2 and down that will change the "Mar-08" to "3-08" so it CONCATENATEs correctly to column A. Simply: I'm trying to avoid manually inputing the text version "3-08" (or whatever M-Y) into D2 down a hundred or so rows!
