How To Force TEXT To Return Date In English

Feb 6, 2014

I have a formula as follows:

Code:
=TEXT(A1,"Mmm YY")

Where cell A1 contains a date, say 01/01/2014.

For me this returns "Jan 14." However, I have a colleague using a Spanish version of Windows/Excel and therefore it displays this in Spanish as "ene 14."

How can I force the formula to return the English spelling, Jan 14?

Force Text Function To Return Number

Dec 15, 2006

I am using a MID fn to extract a single digit from a numeric string. I then use an IF Function to return a value based on the extracted digit. My IF statement works fine on manually entered digits but doesn't recognize my MID fn result. What am I missing?

Force SaveAs As Cell Text & Date

Jun 7, 2007

I have a customised excel woorkbook that will be distributed to several locations with different computere systems, etc. I wanted to keep some convention with the naming, so I've put in a saveas routine to open the saveas dialog and change the default name. The user can then select the directory location and save the file.

Here's the
Sub Saveas_routine()
'
Dim strName As String

On Error Goto InvalidName
strName = "E-RAMP " & Sheet1.Range("A1") & Format(Now, " dd-mmm-yyyy") & ".xls"
Application.GetSaveAsFilename (strName)
Exit Sub

InvalidName: MsgBox "The text: " & strName & " is not a valid file name.", vbCritical, "E-RAMP"
End Sub

The problem is, when the save button is pressed in the saveas dialog, the dialog disappears and the the workbook doesn't save.

Force Date Format Entry In Text Box

Sep 5, 2007

A form loads and the first thing the user is to do is enter a specific date in a text box (preferably in, "mm/dd/yyyy" format.)

Is there any way to set up the text box so that when the form loads, the, "/"'s (slashes) are already in place? And can I set it up so that if the user enters in the date in any other manner aside from, "mm/dd/yyyy", that it will give them an error?

Finally, I want the user's date input to store on a worksheet (in row, "G".) So the first time the user uses the form, they type in a date and it stores the date in the FIRST AVAILABLE CELL IN ROW, "G." (example: "G1") The next time they use the form and type in a date, it is to store in, "G2", then in, "G3", ect. Each time they fill out the form, the new entry is to save in the next row beneath the previous entry.....

For other text boxes and combo boxes I have been using the following code to do this:

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & intRow) = Text.Value (or Combobox.Value - depending on whether it was a text box or a combo box.)

Unfortunately I have NO idea how to apply this logic in regards to text boxes that are to store dates.

Force Formulae Recalculation & Return Day Name From Workday Function

Feb 27, 2008

I'm trying to make a schedule of deposits made for the month of March 2008. (Deposits are made on a daily basis.) With this, I wanted to know when the deposit would clear with the bank using the WORKDAY formula given that I have to count 6 banking days after the date of deposit (Saturdays and Sundays excluded).

I'm using Mac and I recently upgraded to Office 2008 (never tried WORKDAY formula in other versions). I am aware of the syntax used for this formula and it works just fine in other cases. But I noticed that with start_dates falling on a Thursday or Friday of the week, Excel would give me a result date that falls on a Sunday, which is odd given that it's supposed to ignore non-working days or weekends. (I haven't even gotten to inputting holidays yet.)

Force Imported Text Into Formula

Mar 15, 2009

I have a text file I am importing and using text-to-colums.

Some of the text is "+TOL" "-TOL" and when excel converts to columns it is forcing the text to a formula "=+Tol" "=-Tol" giving me #NAME? in those cells.

I can format the cells as text, which is fine for now since I'm using VBA, but if I need to use any formulas then I'm SOL...

Looping- Loop To Force A New Date Install Via A Input Box

Jan 7, 2010

The code below first asks a user to input a weekending date (which must be a Saturday). The value of the input box goes to cell C1 of my spreadsheet. That part works fine. I also have a function in Cell G1 with the function:

=TEXT(C1, "dddd")
I don't know if this is the best way to test for a Saturday but it is what I have,

Where is goes bad is if the date is not a Saturday. I have a loop to force a new date install via a input box but it won't update C1 with the inputed data to recheck for the Saturday value. Below is the whole code I am working with...

Dim aa As String
Dim bb As String

If Range("C1") = "" Then
Do While bb = ""
bb = InputBox("Please Enter a Weekending Date!")
Loop
Range("C1").Value = bb
End If
If Range("G1") "Saturday" Then
Do While aa "Saturday"
aa = InputBox("Weekending Must Be a Saturday. Please Enter a New Weekending Date")
Loop
Range("C1").Value = aa
End If

Force Text To Capital/Upper Case

Aug 29, 2007

Is it possible to make a spreadsheet so that everything that is typed into it is in CAPITALS? I have a need for that for a spreadsheet that I am using at work, but I remembered that in the title box above it only capitlaizes the first letter. I thought if it can do it with the first letter can Excel do it with all of the letters.

Table To English Converter?

Mar 8, 2012

So I have table that consists of several columns describing a single transaction. I want a macro to translate the (potentially thousands) of rows into a single cell for each row on another worksheet.

The rows need to be formatted by transaction type. The problem is that I know nothing of excel syntax .

I was thinking something along the lines of a case loop, if possible:

Case D1 = BUY
Output("You bought ("C1") on ("A1") for the amount ("E1")")
Case D1 = SELL
Output("You sold ("C1") on ("A1") for the amount ("E1")")
etc.

How would I get that into workable excel code, if possible?

American / English Dates

Feb 7, 2008

I have US reporting package that e-mails a report, which I then run macros to put extract the required data, and pivot etc...

There can be anwhere between 1 and 15,000 lines of data.

The file is generated as a CSV file, with dates in the first column in the format mm/dd/yyyy. Other header information also has a "/" so it is impossible to do a text to columns.

I need to continue using UK dating format, so cannot change the Excel settings.

Can anyone provide me with VBA code to convert mm/dd/yyyy into dd-mmm-yyyy without it ignoring any dates where the dd is less than 12?

HTML Encoding On Non-english Characters

Nov 8, 2013

I have an excel file which I really need to encode non english characters as when I import it into our system all special characters return as �

The problem is I need it to work similar to how this works: Unicode to HTML converter

It only encodes standard text, leaving the HTML intact, and only converts non-english characters such as UTF-8 etc...

I have tried setting the encoding when saving to a CSV file as UTF-8 however still no luck.

Using Analysis Toolpak Functions On Non-English Version

A workbook was created using the English version of Excel. It uses Analysis Toolpak functions.

When the workbook is opened on a Spanish version Excel system, embedded functions - like IF, AND, OR translate to Spanish. Other functions, like NETWORKDAYS, do not.

Any cross-language users have a tool for this? Other than doing a Find/Replace or creating custom functions.

Excel 2010 :: Save CSV File With Non-English Characters?

Dec 5, 2012

I run excel 2010... I have xls file (see file attached) with both English and Non English characters.

When I save this file as xls or xlsx - everything is good, but when I save the file as CSV and try to open it later - I see that the English characters stays the same but the non English characters become gibberish.

How can I save a file (that include some non English characters) as CSV without loosing the non English characters? Is there a way to do that from within the excel 2010 menus? Or maybe there is an external tool?
