Hash Marks

May 30, 2007

I have my columns set at a certain width, the cells set to Wrap Text, the Row set to Autofit YET sometimes when I add text, the hashmarks show up as if the cell isnt formatted correctly and Excel cant show all the text. I can resize the cell, change the text whatever, nothing changes. The only way I can fix this is to cut the text out, open a separate worksheet, paste the text into a cell and copy the whole cell BACK into the original spreadsheet, then I have to reformat the text, whereupon it behaves as it is supposed to.

I read about a similiar problem and the reply was that a macro might be causing the error. This is not the case here. This doesnt happen with any regularity so it is very difficult to figure out.

Conditional Formula Syntax Shows Hash Signs

Jul 1, 2007

I trying to write a conditional formula to test data in a cell to see where it falls between certain values, and depending on the data in the cell, will display a message in another cell showing what level has been attained. It's a long formula and I may not have the syntax correct. Can someone look at this and tell me where I have went wrong? All I get in the target cell is "################".

Here is the formula:

Try this formula. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas
��=IF(c13<1600,"Not at prize level yet",IF(AND(c13>=1600,c13<=1999.99),"You have reached level 1",IF(AND(c13>1999.99,c13<=2499.99),"You have reached level 2",IF(AND(c13>2499.99,c13<=2999.99),You have reached level 3,IF(AND(c13>3000,c13<=3499.99),"You have reached level level 4",IF(c13>3500,"You have reached the top level!!"))))))�

Getting Rid Of Tick Marks

Nov 28, 2008

Some sent me a large spreadsheet with random rows throughout the spreadsheet highlighted in diffierent colors. I have a module that will sort the spread sheet by Color - however it doesn't work on this spreadsheet because - for whatever reason - every cell starts with a tick mark.

I tried to do a replace all - and excel just told me I was crazy.

I even tried going through and manually removing the tick marks - still no luck.

If I export the sheet in to txt and then re-import it I will loose all the highlights...

Function To Convert Marks Into Grade

Nov 15, 2013

I am looking for a function that would convert any mark into a grade. For example in cell B4 I want to enter the total score, cell c4 the score that a student gets and in cell d4 the grade. It is like a grade calculator. I do not want to limit cell b4 the total score cell with a specific total score number. It can be 100, 50, 30 or 10. The moment I enter any total score and the mark that a student actually scored, the grade is given. I attached an excel sheet.

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=2009_15", Operator:=xlAnd

The highlighted portion is going to change from week to week. I have never been able to put a variable inside of quotation marks. I am sure it is simple, which explains why it is out of my mental grasp. how I can assign a variable in there?

Show The Headings Of The Four Highest Marks In Each Row

Nov 7, 2009

I have tried to construct a formula for columns M N O and P to extract the names of the four best marks for each student. I have used the 'Large' formula but it does work when there are equal marks in the list.

Has anyone used a formula to order the first four highest marks and show the headings?

Here is a sample of the Spreadsheet I am using.
(Using Excel 2003)

Column headings are:

Numerical Treatment Of Quotation Marks

Mar 15, 2007

To prevent the display of values in a worksheet, I have used an If statement in the format: =IF(I67=""",""",I67). This generally works well; however, I have discovered that if the input value for I67 is actually zero, there is no value displayed in the cell. I need the value to be displayed as a numerical zero so that it can be used in subsequent calculations.

Find, Replace Quotation Marks In Vba

Jun 20, 2007

I'm trying to find and replace all the quotation marks (basically just deleting them) on a worksheet through VBA. I've tried a number of things and am stumped. The code I'm using is:

Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False 'Replaces the quotes.

I've tried

Cells.Replace What:=" & chr(34) & ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False 'Replaces the quotes.

and

Cells.Replace What:=""", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False 'Replaces the quotes.

Adjust Interval Between Tick Marks In Graph

Feb 6, 2014

It is impossible to adjust the interval between tick marks when displaying an horizontal axis with 2 categories (years and weeks). The following steps do not change the space between the tick marks.

-Select the graph;
-Chart Tools - Lay Out;
-Current selection - Horizontal (Category) Axis;
-Format selection;
-Axis options;
-Interval between tick marks: 4.

How can I change the interval for the tick marks to display a mark after every four weeks? Is this a bug or by design?

Tab: Show The Marks When I Group The Columns Or Rows

May 14, 2009

I have this tab that won't show the marks when I group the columns or rows.

I know it is grouped becuase if you copy the data to the blank tab the marks appear fine. Copying the data is an easy work around but I would really like to know the root cause of this. The issue was only with this tab. I used to have a ton of other tabs and they grouped fine.

Handle Quotation Marks Within Text VBA Is Working On

Jul 29, 2009

I have a macro that imports xml and then allows the user to update certain fields. The XML contains many quotation marks and inbound I deal with this by replacing " with ' using Find & Replace.

But before exporting the XML again I need to replace the ' with " but am stuck on how to do this.

For instance I'm trying the following with no success:

Cells.Replace What:="'", Replacement:=""", LookAt:=xlPart" _
, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _

Find And Delete Quotation Marks At The End Of A String

Feb 24, 2007

I'm using a query that dumps information into Excel. The query automatically creates a formula in each each cell. For instance if the first value in the query showed FUNSTUFF, after dumping it into Excel, the contents of the cell would show ="FUNSTUFF". I can just use a find and replace to get rid of the leading =", but sometimes the values of the cells are supposed to have a quotation mark, so using the same method to remove the trailing quote won't work. I need a way to search each cell, check if the last character in the string is a quote, and if it is, delete it.

Plot/Chart Tick/Check Marks

Apr 21, 2008

Is there any way in which I can map the tick mark labels on either the x-axis or the y-axis to different values other than the ones that are being plotted for.

For example, lets say the data is:

1 5
2 6
3 10
4 15
5 8

I want to plot these in a chart but instead of displaying 1,2,3,4,5 on the x-axis, I want to display a different column, say,

5
7
9
11
13

The answer is not as simple as plotting the required x-values with the y-values. I have just used a simplistic example but the thing I am trying to do has dependencies involved so I cannot simply plot the chart with the required column.

Adding Quotation Marks Before And After Text In Range Of Cells Using VBA

Nov 19, 2013

I'm trying to create a shortcut that will allow me to add quotation marks to the begining and end of text in cells. I've tried the following, which works fine when only one cell is highlighted:

VB:
Dim rng As Range
Dim txt As String
Set rng = Selection
txt = """"
rng = txt & rng.Value & txt

However as soon as I highlight more than one cell, it errors. How to make it work for a range of cells?

VBA - Remove Double Quotation Marks Around String Variable?

Jul 29, 2012

I would like to query your knowledge database (too much VBA I guess ) as I have a predicament that I cannot seem to solve.

Here is the thing: I am trying to write a sub that would enable me to automatically put in place extensible name ranges (the Offset worksheet function).

The problem is that, despite everything seems to go well, the reference in the name box displays : ="DECALER($C$2;0;0;5-1;1)" (the string comes from a variable and Decaler is Offset in French). These quotation marks are the culprits for sure, as taken off the formula works beautifully.

I've tried everything I've found on the internet, that is to say: Replace(String, Chr$(34), "") so on and so forth, but these marks are not recognized a part of the string so they escape the replacement.

Create Helper Column That Marks Distinct Values

Nov 26, 2012

I have a table with 200.000 rows.

I need to create a helper column, that marks distinct values with 1 and not distinct "" or 0.

I tried the following but both use countif and I believe it is the problem it's just to slow.

=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2;A2);1;0)
=1/COUNTIF($A$2:A2;A2)

but both are really slow +20 mins to calculate and many times Excel crashes( 2007 32bit).

The workbook is really simple

Col1 (number formatted as text) - Col2 =distinct

Copy And Paste The Data And Remove All Those Question Marks

Apr 23, 2009

I imported data in to column A and it looks like it inserted a question mark (which I think represents a space or tab )before about half the names.

So when I import the data in my contact manager it inserts a square and throws off the import.

I know it is a simple question but have not been successful.

I am using Excel 2007.

All I want to do is copy and paste the data and remove all those question marks. I would assume it is simple as pasting with "remove formatting" but I am not seeing that option.Plus they are names so I want to keep capitalization etc.

I also tried pasting in a text file to remove formatting and paste in the text file.. (the names ended up indented) and then "paste special" back in to excel with no formatting .which I was able to do in 2000 but with no luck with 2007.
