I simply cannot insert a one eighth symbol in my spreadsheet.. I used to be able to see this in the Insert Symbols grib but now all I get are lots of question market.. if I use
selection.value = ChrW(8569)
the symbol does appear until I select the cell and press return, after which point it turns into a question mark.. I'm sure its something to do with my settings but I can't figure out what.. this is really important for me.
i would like to automate the inserting of the symbol ®...
i can do in a cell as the first entry, but i can't do at the end of a string's entry in a cell...?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to take cells such as the following from A1 down:
Baker, Helen
Brown, Joe
Smith, John
Roberts
Thompson, Karen
White, Daniel
Wright, Lisa
I need to move this to the next column but where there is a cell such as the 4th without a comma it needs to add ", N/A".
Basically it should make "Roberts" from A4 become "Roberts, N/A". I think it needs something to search for a comma and if it's not present to add that to the end.
Is there a way to define the end of a cell in a find/replace? I.e. I want to find characters like this:

and replace with

I would like to embedd a symbol into a cell. I dont want it to be done by using Fonts. By symbol I mean Harvey Balls (Plan, Do, Check, Act) symbol embedded the same as the "and" (&) symbol.

Cells in Columns A & B (57 rows deep) have a real time data feed and can have values of blank, "H", or "R". The H and R can remain in the cell for any length of time. I would like to have an audible ding go off whenever a new H or R appears in columns A or B. Is there a cell formula that can do this? I think a macro solution would not work, because the workbook has a macro that activates every 10 seconds, so I assume a macro solution would interfere if both macros happen to activate at the same time.

I'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:
Cells:
a1= ant-gel
a2= ant - gel
a3 = size 1 - 6
a4 = size 1-6
a5 = book - 5
a6 = book-5
a7 = good book
I want a formula that displays "True" if cell contains a "-" symbol AND the dash symbol is surround on both sides by a number (a space can go between dash and number)
I want the results to go in column B
For example, if a1 contains a dash and dashes are surrounded on both sides by a number, then "TRUE", otherwise "FALSE.
therefore:
b1 = FALSE
b2 = FALSE
b3 = TRUE
b4 = TRUE
b5 = FALSE
b6 = FALSE
b7 = FALSE
Column (B) contains two different units, either (ug L-1) or (mg L-1). I have this formula, =IF(B2="(ug L-1)",A2/1000,A2), which copies the value in column A to column C, so for cells that are in (mg L-1) units, it's a direct copy, but for cells that are in (ug L-1) units, it divides the value in A by 1000. However, I can't remember what the formula should be if the cell contains a "<" symbol AND is also in (ug L-1) units.
e.g.
< 0.004(ug L-1)
How can I change that to <0.000004?
How do I get a fraction to show as a fraction rather than decimal in the formula bar by formatting the cell as text.

I have a master data sheet with four columns, A, B, C and D
Column A has the primary data and B,C,D has dependent data values;

Im combing 2 cells into 1 but using a fraction..
I created 2 examples of what im trying to do..
Example.
A1 = 22
A2 = 11 3/4
=A1&"'-"&TEXT(A2,"# ?/?")&"''"
[b]22'-11 3/4"[b]
but when A2 = 11
i get this..
22'-11___''
on excel it has some space between the 11 and '' but i cant show that here..
i would like the '' to be next to the 11. is there any way to do that?
I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI write up job cards that require measurements in fraction form. Usually whenever i want to round off a figure , say 10/16, to 5/8, i right click on the figure and format cell it. However, this can be quite time consuming if there are multiple cells and are of a different breakdown.
What i would like to know if there's a shortcut way where when the 10/16 is in the cell, it automatically rounds off to the nearest fraction.
