I am working on an inventory issue, we use a bar code scanner to read in inventory, and when we move inventory.
One of our inventory items has a number that is 20-numerical characters long, Excel seems to convert the last 5 characters to zeros (0).
An Example number would be: 89148000000286153971 Excel changes the number to: 89148000000286100000
I have 3 conditions within my spreadsheet, which only 1 condition can have a numeric value in it at any one time.
The result of my calculations returns the following results
Condition 1: False; Condition 2: 168001.5072; Condition 3: False
I then use the MAX command to pick up the cell that has a value in it.
The command I use is: =MAX(L28,N28,P28)
The problem occurs is when I use this MAX command it Rounds up the value from 168001.5072 to 168001.51 - I need to stop this rounding from occurring.
Now I have just been told on this forum about how to use the TRUNC command to stop my original formula from rounding my final value (168001.5072) but I'm not sure if using the TRUNC command will work in this situation.
I can not use the "=" command becuase depending on the values I use any 3 of the conditions can be met, which will mean a value will sit in either condition 1, 2 or 3, so that is why I need to pull the MAX value.
The attached image shows my issue.
The value on the right 168001.5072 is being rounded up and displayed as seen on the left as value 168001.51 and I would like ot know how to stop this from occuring.

I have a percentage calculation that I need to ensure excel does not round up the last digit.
My calculation is 2463000(cell:I13) divided by 257000(cell: I14+I15)
Excel calculates this value to be 0.958365759
However I need it to display and re-use only 0.9583657 as my calculation has to be precise to 7 decimal places.
If I use the formula =ROUND(I13/SUM(I14+I15),7) then excel returns the value 0.9583658 - it rounds the last digit up.
I have tried to use the option "Set precision as displayed" and set my decimal places to 7 but this still sees my 7th digit rounded up.
How do I set it so the 7th digit is not rounded up.
My original formula is =IF(AND((L3+L8+L13)<=O3,(L3+L8+L13+L18)>O3),((O3-(L3+L8+L13))*I18/L18))
I have updated it to be =IF(AND((L3+L8+L13)<=O3,(L3+L8+L13+L18)>O3),((O3-(L3+L8+L13))*(ROUND(I18/L18,7))))
the first cell in my table has a date but I only want the table to be 2 months long so normally I would use the formula =cell above+1 but with different length months that wont work so then I thought can i have a formula like
=if(B7>$B$7+2months,"",B7+1)
where b7 is the first date of the first month
for some reason every number in excel is automatically formatting as long date. while i can go into the individual cells, columns, rows, sheets and change the format it always auto formats to date at the outset.

I was trying to decrease the decimal places of the data figures that I'm currently working on my report, however, it keeps rounding-up the decimal numbers. I wish to keep the original numbers and just decrease the decimal places.
For example:
The original figure is = 7260.12903225806
Upon decreasing the decimal figures to just 2, the result became = 7260.13
Is it possible for me to just have this result = 7260.12 instead of 7260.13?
I've tried using the TRUNC formula butit does not work if the 2nd decimal value is 0.

I have an issue with long numbers (16 digits). To display them correctly in excel I formatted the cells as text. This part works fine, but now for some reason conditional formatting marks different numbers as duplicates.
In my case 3081281170122602 and 3081281170122601 are considered as duplicates by excel.

I have fought with this for 2 days and I am trying to have a worksheet cell update the date and time if the cell it is referencing (B3 see below)
Here is the formula I am using however it updates every time a new row is added to the worksheet. So the Date/Time stamp on each row is always updated to NOW() everytime.
=IF(ISNA(B3),"0/0/00 00:00",NOW())
I would like to have a Date/Time stamp stay as is once that row has been added. Is there anyway to stop the field from updating once the date and time have been set?
I run a macro that imports a table from web page:
[url]
I import only the table with no formatting.
Excel tries to be helpful, and formats some of the cells in scientific notation.
I have tried to format the column to the "Text" format prior to the import with
Columns(2).NumberFormat = "@"
This does not work. If you import the table you can see that rows 1405, 1406, 1407, 1408 all have the same scientific notation value. Their true values should be 0E0, 0E4, 0E8, 0E9 respectively.
There are quite a few other instances in the column when a text value has "E" for the second character that Excel will format on its own.

One of the fields I import has a value like 100:01 or 10:01 or 01:01 or other combinations (the above ones are the most frequent ones).
Unfortunately excel always converts this field into a date and a time but this is not what I want.
Is there any way to stop excel doing this? I tried to work around it with the text property e.g. formating it to text after I imported the data and formating the entire sheet to use text before
I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers
e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392
that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.
e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392
There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like
3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.
Is there an easier way?
I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).
I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.
I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.
My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.
The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.
Here is a tiny portion of the list:
AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6

AKH454.1

I need to extract numbers from excel cells. For eg-
BAR TBG 04.00X02.25X26.50 1340 HRN SMLS SPEC. ES4.38694
^^^ This is one of the cells. I need to pull out 04.00, 2.25, 26.50, 1340 into different cells from one given cell.
I have tried using =MID() function, but I need to make changes into that formula everytime the position of first numeric letter changes while I go along a column. And I need to make changes into it as I go along the row.
It is taking me a lot of time in extracting numbers from one cell into different cells and I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life getting this stuff done.
I decided to format my data as a table so that excel will auto-fill my formulas when inserting new rows which works quite well. I have one snag though, when trying to insert a new row at the very top (i.e. inbetween the header and first row) and choosing Format As Below, it also applies Data Validation and Conditional Formatting to the header. The inserted row, however, is actually formatted fine and works well.
How do I stop this from happening, and why would Excel do this anyway (as it is effectively applying formatting to TWO rows when only one row is being inserted)?
I have this code :

I am trying to round similar to Banker's Rounding or Scientific Rounding but I can't find a consistent formula that works perfect with decimals.
Using three decimal places for all the samples, I can get 0.0785 to round to 0.078 but 0.1785 wants to round to 0.179 instead of staying 0.078. Or 0.0005 will round to 0 but 0.5115 wants to round to 0.511 instead of 0.512.
Here is a list of sample numbers along with desired results:
.0785 should be .078
.5115 should be .512
.5035 should be .504
.0005 should be 0
.0025 should be .002
.0194 should be .019
.0195 should be .02
.0135 should be .014
.0115 should be .012
.8115 should be .812
I cannot find a formula which gives me all of these results. Here is a list of the formulas I have tried so far (NOTE: cell A2 is the working cell in my worksheet where I enter the number to be rounded)
1) =MROUND(A2,0.001)
3) =ROUND(A2,3)
4) =IF(ISERROR(IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOOR(A2,0.001))),0,IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOO R(A2,0.001)))
5) =EVEN(A2)
6) =ROUNDUP(A2,3)
7) =ROUNDDOWN(A2,3)
I'm having a little problem working with some CSV files that are sent to us by an outside party. There is a field for an invoice number. This number should be a string since it sometimes has alpha characters and sometimes has dashes. But the field is not delimited to indicate this, so when opening these files in Excel, Excel will sometimes convert the numbers to dates. Once they are converted to dates, there is no going back.
The way we have gotten around this is to change the csv extension to txt, then open as a txt file and convert that particular column to a text column. This causes a lot of additional work as the file ultimately needs to be converted back to a CSV.
Ideally, the people creating the CSV files should create them so the invoices column is properly delimited. But that doesn't seem to be possible right now.
Is there a way to create a macro that would make the modification while opening the CSV file, before Excel has a chance to modify those fields?
Im importing figures into column G of my worksheet, and I need a code so it automatically adds a "0" to the start of each row in column G plus format it.
For example, im pasting in 970702090341 but its showing as 9.70702E+11.
Once I format the cell to 'number' and 0 decimal places it looks fine, but want to save the hassle of doing it each time. Plus I need a zero at the start.
Is there a code possible for this?
When opening a .CSV created from a third party software, one of the columns is converted to date format. The numbers are imported in #/# format. and Excel changes most of the numbers to 2-Jan, 3-Jan etc... This would not be that big of an issue if I could simply set it back. Clearing format or changing to text converts it to a 5 digit number.
The only way I have found to get it to work properly thus far is to open a blank sheet and import data and setting the column to text prior to import.
I would like to find a way of opening the CSV file without all the extra steps. Is there a setting that can be turned off?
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation.
