Indexing Dates, Blank On One Sheet Displaying As 00/01/1900
Feb 12, 2010
I am indexing dates from one workbook to another.
There are some blanks in the list that I am using, and I need to the blanks to stay as blanks in the sheet that I am indexing to, however they are displayng as 00/01/1900.
I currently have to display a large amount of data on a separate report. I have a master sheet which has columns and cells linked to another sheet, then a further sheet which has cells linked to the master sheet. The problem I am getting is when I link some of the date columns using a formula in the 3rd sheet, as this is looking at a cell that has another formula in on the other sheet it is displaying a date of 00/01/1900 if the value is zero, is there any easier way of getting the data to just display a blank as this is messing up the database it is being exported
I'm an accountant, so I've always dealt with relatively current dates. Now I'm trying to do some geneology work, and I find that I can't put in a date prior to 1900. For example if I input "3/5/1870", it comes out as text. If I input "=date(1870,3,5)", it returns 3/5/3770 -adding 1900 years to my date. I don't need to do anything mathmatically with it, but it would be nice to have it return "March 5, 1870".
The result of my formula should be blank, but 1/1/1900 appears instead and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know why or how to fix. I can't just change the font color as it screws up other formulas.
In this case the Vlookup is referring to an apparently blank cell with no formula in it. I googled 1/0/1900 and saw a few references that said formatting a cell with zero in it as a date would cause this result, but there is no zero in this case.
I have a spreadsheet which was formatted from VB code. Within the sheet there are four date columns where some dates show as 00/01/1900 (due to them having '0' in at the time of running the code). I am trying to run some code to blank out all cells showing the 00/01/1900 date, but the code just isn't touching it. I reverted to simply recording the 'find and replace' function and inserting into my code, but those irritating dates still remain.
I have a column of data that requires the cell to be blank if the value is 00/01/1900. The data is linked to another cell. IE: cell E3 is linked to cell $D$3 The cell is formatted for dates in the format shown.
A - Date last checked B - Due Date C - Actual Date checked
Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?
In range B4:M4 some cells contain values and some are blank. I am trying to write a formula that will omit the blank values and just give me the nonblank values. The code below returns the FIRST nonblank value, but I can't seem to figure out how to drag it across a row to get the others. I want to ensure that the numbers stay in the same order (so no largest/smallest formulas), but the blank cell values need to be removed.
This would then need to be repeated for (B5:M5, B6:M6, ETC).
I'm trying to get a document together that will spit out an index of all the files in a folder/subfolder with various attributes like title name/ hyperlink to the file/ type/ etc. How to add a function that will create a column/pull data for the author of the files I am indexing.

How to get a column that lists the author of the document.
I know the title is a little confusing, but i couldn't think of a better way to put it. I have a listbox connected to a combobox. the combobox acts like a filter, allowing the user to change from multiple different selections, which appear in the listbox.
the problem i am having is when two of the items that appear in the listbox are the same, then the data displayed to the right will only show the top most row. i have attached the example.
On this example, the userform is called frmEditData. if you filter claim, you'll notice that since each number appearing in the listbox is different, it will display the corresponding data in the right. If you use the date of loss search parameter, all three are the same, so it will only show the top row.
I'm having to re-learn formula commands in order to continue to use my spreadsheets (I had tried to get the Quattro Pro converter to work in Excel 2003 with no success). Actually, I would have stayed with QP since I find it much more user friendly, but with Excel being the standard spreadsheet that most people use, I figured I better get used to it. Anyway, I'm currently trying to find out how I might get the same text that shows up in varying cells in an otherwise blank column (other cells contain formulas, but no text) to also show up in another fixed cell (which can be where I put this formula).
I would like to automate a sheet to report statistics of projects based on a single cell that is the year that a user manually inserts. I've got a separate worksheet with all dates manually set up for next 10 years and would like it to be read by formulae in a reporting worksheet based on the year that user enters.
So if I specify year 2014/15 (financial year), I would like the cell C1 under "Reporting" sheet to display 1/07/14 predetermined in "Dates" B3, if I specify 2015/16, the cell C1 will read 1/07/15 from "Dates" B6 and so on.
I could do it with "IF" function but there will be too many nested IF functions in a lot of cells (hundreds if not thousands). This may make my file size very large.
On my data tab I've got a column for "review date." Some of those cells are blank. When you go to the pivot table, the respective cell for that blank.review date cell displays the date 1/29/14. There is no data in the cell on the data tab, so why would it be displaying 1/29/14? I want it to either say "blank" or just be blank. It does this for every review date cell that is blank.
I would typically consider myself a decent Excel user, but I haven't been able to solve this one. Maybe it's just the lack of sleep now. I am attempting to combine 4 cells into one where the last cell contains a date. Below is the formula I am using:
=B3&" "&C3&" "&D3&" "&TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy")
It works when all of the cells have values, but the only problem I am having is that some of the dates (in column E) are blank. When this cell is blank the default date that displays is "1/0/00." If I add the typical, " " at the end it says the formula has errors. The need for the TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy") for the cells that contain dates is throwing me off.
I have spent several hours searching the forum but have not been able to find any code that I could tailor to my specific need.
Basically, when I press a button on a 'Util' sheet, I need to cut every row on the 'Source' sheet with 'Closed' in column 'B', paste the rows to the next blank row on the 'Closed_Requests' sheet, and delete the resulting blank row from the 'Source' sheet.
Is there a command or macro to display the name of a sheet in a cell?
I know how to do it in a header or footer, but not in a cell.
I need to copy the name that appears at the bottom of a spreadsheet in a cell at the top -- no need to reference the name of a different sheet, just the same one the cell is on.
I have several worksheets of data, and one sheet that I wish to serve as a summary. I have the following function on this summary sheet: =MIN(Sheet2:Sheet4!C1)
This displays the minimum value for the given range, however I don't want the value, I want to know which sheet is was found on...so instead of 3 it might say Sheet2 if Sheet2 containded 3. I've spent quite a while trying other solutions to other similar problems but I just can't figure this out; and I don't have the experience to code a solution myself.
I am seeking a method of collecting data from one sheet in a workbook and displaying it on another, based on a search.
e.g.
Sheet1 Garcia Joe 11111 Garcia Matt 22222 Hernandez Efrain 33333 Matias Jorge 44444
What I want to do is to have Sheet2 be a query for Sheet1--that is, in a cell in Sheet2, the user can type 'Garcia' into a cell and thus display the matching entries from Sheet1, e.g.
I have a list of client names with their respective numbers on a sheet 1 and I have a list of jumbled client names with the names repeated in the next sheet 2. I would like to retrieve the client number from the data sheet and display the number for that respective client name in the second sheet
Sheet 1:
Client Number Client Name 1 David 2 Tom 3 Suzan 4 Richard
Sheet 2: Client Name Client Number Richard Tom David Suzan Richard Tom David
I want the program to retrieve the client number for the names from sheet 1 and display it accordingly in sheet 2. For eg:- it should retrieve Richard's client number as 4 from sheet 1 and display digit 4 next to richard's name in the client number column. I have attached the sample document.
I'm Seeking in InRegards To Working Out How To Display Multiple Leaders Within The Same Cell Based Apon There Score In A Game Of Golf, Or If This Cant Be Done Perhaps A Message Saying "Multiple Leaders" So That It Is Known That Its Not Just The One Persons Name That Is Been Displayed. I Have Attatched The Document I Have Been Playing With While Trying To Work It Out Before Making A Big Sheet.
As You Will See "Daniel" And "Paul" Both Have The Same Score, And Below In The Summary It IS Currently Only Showing "Daniel" As The Scratch Leader, Is There A Way Of Getting It To Show Them Both As A Leader, EG: "Daniel, Paul", Or As Said efore Just Saying "Multiple Leaders" Thus Having To Manual Go Through Them ( The Fist Option Would Be Better As There Will Be Approx 85 Names In The Final Sheet)
i want to do the following: initialize a sheet by showing form1, which accepts user input for rows and cols name a range on the sheet of size rows x cols display form2 which is just a "DONE" button that they click when they're finished pause/stop the macros and allow the user to fill in values for that range start up some other macros when they press the "DONE" button.
i tried it and found that when you display a form it locks the sheet (can't select the sheet to input values) and you can't even alt tab away from the form. is there a way around this?
I get some records from XML and display in the sheet. Now, I need to put an image for each record in the sheet while displaying records. And also on click of the image I need to have some code to be executed.
Any way to always include the sheet name before the cell address in a formula? For example, in my "Summary" sheet, I have a formula:
Code: =A2 + B4/B5
However, without typing anything else, I'd like the formula to populate the sheet name since I will be extracting the formula as text and need the full reference:
Code: =Summary!A2 + Summary!B4/Summary!B5
A way to get around this is to enter the equal sign, then temporarily select another sheet, then go back to the "Summary" sheet where all cell references will include the sheet name, but if there is a quicker way to do it using some kind of property or event in VBA, that would be ideal.
I have a spread sheet where i want to display help text when cells are activated. I do not want to use comments as i both do not like the red triangle and also have not found a way to controll the position of the text box. When I use the event Worksheet_SelectionChange I can display a custom box but the box "retains focus" and i can not enter the data until i "reclick" on the cell in the sheet. The box then goes away when i select another cell. Is there a way to fix this or a different method entirely. I am using Excel 2007.
I am working with an Excel file that was created in 2001, has not been updated since.
In the first column on the first tab, is a date field, starting from 12/31/2000.
I try to change this to 12/31/2008, and I get the return date of 01/00/00. When I select the cell, the formula bar indicates 12/31/2008, but the cell shows 01/00/00.
If I change it back to 12/31/2000, it is back to normal. I tried to enter 2/3/2009 in another cell, converting to date format, and the same thing: 0/1/00 (Jan 0, 1900)
I have a sheet with a date and the number of months on it which will change. I need the sheet to list the dates in a column for each month automatically: e.g. Two cells contain date “jan07” and the period “10” months. The rows A1 to A10 should have jan07…jan16 listed automatically. If I change then change the number of month to 11 I would like the rows A1 to A11 to update automatically.
