Insert 0 At Beginning Of Field Depending On Number Of Characters
Dec 27, 2012
Example below of the data I have. I need to convert dates into DD.MM.YY (8 chars) for SAP. I receive spreadsheets where the date is dd/mm/yy and I use the replace to convert the "/" to ".", then format this column as TEXT. My problem is some of these sheets have hundreds of records and rather than individually scroll through and look for data that requires the "0", is there a way to insert this. I can custom format that it looks as it has the zero, but it is not in the true data.
1.10.12 data should be 01.10.12
11.10.12 this is correct
3.11.12 data should be 03.11.12
3.06.12 data should be 03.06.12 etc

I have a column of Supplier IDs. Maximum number of characters is 9. If the supplier ID is not 9 characters long, it should have 0's placed in the front so that there are 9 characters. For example, Supplier ID is 487695. It should look like 000487695. I can get Excel to format the cells correctly by using the custom format. However, when I import into Access, it trims the 0's away even though the field is identified as text because the custom format does not actually change the "value" of the cell. It merely formats the cells.
How can I get this column to correctly import into Access from Excel?

I am looking for a formula which will insert a word into cell A3 depending on the number in cell A2. For example A2 is between:
0 - 10 then insert the word Div 1
11 -17 then insert the word Div 2
18 - 23 then insert the word Div 3
24 28 then insert the word Div 4

Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:
[Code].....
For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:
[Code] .....
This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.
More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:
[Code] ....
I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.

The data has either 3, 4, or 5 letters followed by numbers 1 through 999. Example: ABCD7 I need to change it to ABCD007. I am using Excel 2004 for the Mac.

In a macro I want to automatically insert a formula in several cells. The formula depends on other cells, and I want to be able to manipulate these cells with variables. Here is my code:
[Code] .....
All my variables are declared:
Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, Semana + 1) is the cell I want to be able to chose due to the variables
Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, 3) is the reference cell for the VLOOKUP formula, that will vary with I
SheetMonth.Range("B3:W172") is a range in the sheet SheetMonth which is fixed
The error message I receive is the following: "Run-time error 13, Type mismatch"
I precise that the next step is to make the ",6," part in the vlookup formula also variable... but I guess once my current issue is solved this one will be a piece of cake.

In column A, I have many entries such as AA-1, AA-2, BB-1, BB-2, AA-3, etc.
How do you count the number of entries for only those beginning with "AA" or beginning with "BB"?

I have a very long list of international phone numbers in a .csv format that I need to put a zero in front of each one. We are doing an international autodialer campaign for an upcoming event and need the zeros at the beginning to pay for the call. How do you get around Excel not allowing a zero at the front of a number and the .csv format not allowing you to save certain formats? I've been searching the archived posts for a hour now and can't find anything on this!
Here is an example
1.14478E+13
1.1448E+13
1.14417E+13
1.14421E+13
1.14421E+13
1.1448E+13

i have a spreadsheet system that imports data from an .mdb including a memo box, but the limit on excels displayed and printed data (1024 characters i think) is causing issues!
is anyone aware of a method using VBA that i can use to ensure i can see all the text that is in the memo box not just the 1024(?) characters?

i bought a tattslotto scratch card (for those of ya outside of australia, not sure what youd call em, basically lottery ticket/game), this game is essentially a crossword puzzle, you scratch your letters out in a box then you have a list of words, you need to find words that are made up entirely of your letters, the more words you find, the more you win ive kind of screwed up the card and scratched out words i dont have, however i do have atleast 2 words and i think ive got more, potentially could win big but wanna know how much before i go claim it
ive opened up a new workbook, in the A column ive got a list of all my words, then in C1 ive got a field where ive entered all my letters, wondering if theres a way to get excel to work it out for me (like an IF statement on the fields in column A to compare them to C1, or some kind of conditional formatting rule)

I'm working with a column that contains dates. The dates are pulled from a system that doesnt always have dates in the format
mm/dd/yyyy => 09/26/2014
but instead sometimes
9/26/2014
or
4/7/2014
i.e., 0's are missing.
I'm looking for a macro that inserts these missing 0's
**So I suppose the criteria should be that if the cell is 9 characters long (including the "/"s), then it adds a 0 as first character**
and
***the cells that are only 8 characters, in that case there would have to be insert 0 again as character 1, and 0 as character 4 (if 0 is already added as first)***
I'll attach a file that contains dates : test.xls

I am trying to retrieve data from another file using the VLOOKUP function however this is only to happen depending on if any of the 3 items of data appear in column 8(H)
OLY
OLY - QUO
OLY - PRO
I have the following and know this is not correct
Sub BlockAllocationsVlookupAll()
Dim x As Long For x = 1 To 65536
If InStr(1, Sheet1.Range("$H$" & x), "OLY") > 0 Then Sheet1.Range("$I$" & x) = Sheet1.Range("$I$" & x) & "sometext" End If Next
End Sub
I know the above doesn't do exactly what needs to be edited to include the Vlookup below
=VLOOKUP(A21,'[001 - Allocations - Blocks.xls]CurrentDayAll'!$1:$65536,9,FALSE)
The other issue is that the cell the VLOOKUP points to first will also change due to the varying length of the report

I have six complex functions, which I would like to place in [A2] depending on what is placed in [A1], The functions themselves are quite extensive and I don't want to use any active functions (like INDIRECT) as this will cause slow calculations. [A1] will just be a given name to each of these functions.

Im trying to make a simple macro for cataloging some equipment and where its located.
I've created a user form where there is a free text field for Equipment. Instead of just inserting this entry into the first available cell, i would like for it to place it in the first available cell under the corresponding first letter of the equipment to the named worksheets A-Z.
I have named the worksheets A through to Z, and upon entering the free text 'Equipment' name, say for instance Trolley, for it to recognise the T, open the worksheet named T and insert the equipment name and location etc across the first free column.

I wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?

I've got a long list of account numbers of varying length and ultimately need to add a dash and a dot into these numbers. Here's an example
12345678 to> 1-2345.678
123456789 to> 12-3456.789
1234567890 to> 123-4567.890
The standard format is always 3 numbers after the . and 4 numbers between the - and .
I can get to this by doing a series of functions starting with this:
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)&"."&RIGHT(A1,3) to get 12345.678 or 123456.789
copy/pasting that value into another field and then doing this
=LEFT(E1,LEN(E1)-8)&"-"&RIGHT(E1,8) to get the results above
I can't quite figure out the format to combine the multiple steps/functions into one so that I'm not copy/pasting values and re-doing the function.

I have a cell tha't set up as a number format with the validation only accepting 3 whole number characters, however if the number is 098 then it converts it to 98. I need for that cell to be a number type format and to accept 0 as the first character. I thought I tried everything but I'm sure I'm missing something.

I want column S to show today's date if any cell is modified within that row.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells(Target.Row, 19).Value = Int(Date)
End Sub
and it works, I get today's date in that row. But when I do a test on the date, (=ISNUMBER) I get false which means I can't check that date with a macro.

I have a spread sheet I have set up to calculate sales results, I have a column for each week in the quarter with the date at the top and a different page for each individual. I want to be able to enter a number to show how many weeks we have had and the spreadsheet to give me a cumulitive amount for the cells up to that date.
For example if I was to enter 1 in a cell A1 I would want the sum t work out just C3 for example.
If I enter 3 in A1 I would want the sum to be C3+C4+C5 wich is the three cells.
If I enter 6 in A1 it would be C3+C4+C5+C6+C7+C8 etc.

I have an if statement which shows either GP% or average revenue per product. The problem is that GP% needs to be in a percentage format and revenue per product needs to be in number format. 500 is now shown as 50000% or 50% will be shown as 0.5 for example. Is there anyway on changing the format of a cell based on the number?

I have a Master workbook with 4 sheets named WEEK 1 to WEEK 4. At work we work around 13 4 week periods and need this workbook to be dated accordingly, that is Period 1 Week 1 and date of first day (Sunday) of that period. The ideal solution would be for the user to enter 1 to 13 into a cell and via a button all dates to be populated and a new workbook created for that period. I have attached a sample workbook with the 4 weekly sheets and a date range on another sheet to show the range I need the dates from. I hope the workbook explains what I need better than my explanation here!
