I have two cells. In cell A1 there is a text "(fi) = " and in A2 a number, for example 30. (fi) means a symbol for diameter (letter "f", using Symbol font). Is it possible to joint those two cells in third cell using formula "=A1&A2", maintaining original fonts? What i get is "f = 30", not "(fi) = 30".

I'm usually able to find my answer but I couldn't find anything to match what I need. Anyway... this is either really simple or impossible to do. I have two cells which have times in each. Say A1 has 5:00 PM and A2 has 10:00 PM. I'm just trying to make it so one cell will say:
From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM... So I tried this ="From " & A1 & " to " & A2
But as I'm sure you already know that yields this result:
From 0.708333333333335 to 0.916666666666668
I used to get data from a database (CorVu & MIMS) in this format "0122458/001". Due to changes in those Databases I now get the data as 2 columns " 0122458" and "1" .What I need to do is somehow get this back to the old format including the leading zeros.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a number in A1, another number in B1, a Date in C1. In D1, I am referencing all 3 of the other cells: =CellA1 & "-" & CellB1 & "----" & CellC1. Trouble is the date is coming through as a number. Is there a way that I can get the date to show as displayed as opposed to the value of the cell?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have written some code which takes data from multiple spreasheets and formats it in a specif way. However one problem I have is getting the right data format. As you will see from the input files the date and time cells are separated into two and the macro is supposed to aggregate these together in one cell with a space in between - but I cannot manage to perfect this !!! The output is in a number format instead. I have attached the input files. The code written so far is as follows - works perfectly apart from date format that comes is in the output file once you run the code.

I am having problems choosing a format for the column in my spreadsheet that contains my account codes. This is especially a problem when the code starts with an '=' sign and is followed by a number or has a '£' sign followed by a number.
I receive the file in a .txt format which I guess if I get it that way I would not have a problem but as I need to work on the file in excel before uploading it I experience problems. For instance when I open the file the codes that begin with '=' + a letter for instance =Y just comes up as '# name?' and only when I click in the cell can I see that it is =Y. Also the code '=1' just comes up as '1' as does '£1' - now this causes problems as for a start I need to do Vlookups on the account code but now instead of three distinct codes I have 3 1's.
The only way that I have discovered how to solve this is to click into each cell and add a ' before the text. (this changes the format to text - right??) But obviously this is very time consuming - is their a quicker way to change these cells. I can't just right click and format cells - text. This does not work?
I am trying to reference text and another document. The text I want is " stock option expense negatively impacted 1Q:07 by:" and the number i want it to bring back is currently in the model as a percentage. However I would like to bring it back in basis points which would be the percentage times 10,000. So if its in the model as 0.4%, I'd like to bring it back as 40 bps. Here is the formula I am using that is insufficient.

This is not related to macro - it's an excel question regarding wrapped-around text within a cell (i.e.: text brought onto next line by <Alt>+<Enter>)...
SayI have the following in a cell :
Car<Alt>+<Enter>
Truck<Alt>+<Enter>
Van
and say I want to add a figure (in this example 1A) to the first part of the cell and then another to the second line of wrapped text and so on. How can I split the cell (or lookup the first 'wrapped' line) so that I can then perform changes (using formulas with '&' to combine etc or whatever) so that in the end cell have the following:
Car 1A<Alt>+<Enter>
Truck 2C<Alt>+<Enter>
Van 1B
Looking for formula with if then statement that involves a nested formula or concatenation. I need a formula that says: If cell A reads exactly ABCD then concatenate cell A with cell C. Very basic to most of you gurus but I'm fairly new with formulas.

I have a list that looks like this:
1. Here I have som formatted text.
2. Here too.
10. And here.

The content of each line is in a single cell.
How do I go about automatically chopping off the number, the dot and the space before the text, but retaining all formattings?

I have a multipage control on a userform. On Page 8 of that multipage, I have label1, part of that label is modified by other parts of the program. This is done by the program writing to a sheet of Data and then the program pulls that info into this label. My question is,what is the correct format to populate the label?
see below: This is what I have in my Userform_Activate and Userform_Initialize subs:
CurrentVersion = Sheets("Data"). Range("N2").Value
Label1.Caption = "This will allow you to change the Caption of the UserForms through out the operational program. Some UserForms cannot be changed. The ending of" + Chr(32) + Chr(34) + "Automatic 2005 V" + Chr(32) + CurrentVersion + Chr(34) + Chr(32) + " will be added to what you enter below as default."
CurrentVersion is pulled off of the datasheet which is a number like 5.9.8.2. however it errors "Run time error 13 - type mismatch" I can only suspect the label1.Caption needs something like: Multipage8.label1.caption =
I have a column with numbers in each cell. I need to add the same three letters before each of the numbers. Example:
number in cell: 25067 I need it: ABC25067
I did a macro for it but had to do each one individually. I imagine there is a simple formula to do this automatically but I don't know enough to figure it out (despite reading up on it for the last hour!)
i cant do this from importing the data, so instead i have to try and fix it with code. I get a sheet of data from an external source that removes the 0's in the front of the number. Its only a 4 digit number so 21 would be 0021. Now i have been able to trap the data i think i would need. i created a =len() statement to tell me how many numbers each cell has. here is the code i think how it would work.. i just need a little help with filling in the blanks. I would assume its something to the lines of " 00+string value if it was 2 numbers needed.
B2 has the Len values (4,3,2,1 etc) and A1 is the original string that has the values.
So i want the code to add 1 2 or 3 zeros to the front of the number based on the len value.
Range("B2").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Select
Select Case ActiveCell.Value
Case Is = "3"
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select
Case Is = "2"
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select......................
Join an array with Text elements to create a string that can be Evaluated
So for instance if I have Array("A", "B", "C") and I want to evaluate("=({" & Join(array, ",") & "})="A)"). Is there any way to do this without having to loop or push to a Named array first? I'll even take this evaluate thing if I can do it with text and numbers
I am using the following formula to join several text strings together:
=CONCATENATE(B4,$A$1,C4,$A$1,D4,$A$1,E4,$A$1,F4)
(in the above $A$2 is just a few spaces in order to seperate the test)
I was wondering if there is a way of joing text strings that will align all info properly? Right now it just joiins them together but visually that is not really very appealing.
This is an example of what I am getting:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333
This is how I want it:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a bit of code to go into a macro and as I am very much a leaner, I thought I would create the formula I need and record it, then copy in the relevant bit. However, I cannot even get the formula to work - never mind the macro bit!! The formula I am trying to do is something like this...
In column S:S
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 1 to 3, concatenate Q2 (and eventually Q2 to Q lastrow) + "/" + "Q1"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 4 to 6, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q2"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 7 to 9, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q3"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 10 to 12, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q4"
Column R:R has the year and the first digit of Q:Q hold the month so I want to end up with 2007/Q1 etc.
I'm trying to convert a set of numbers between 1 and 9999 into text strings, with the number at the end as a four digit string, so 1 becomes "COLUMN0001", 123 becomes "COLUMN0123", etc. In excel, it would be easy - I would just use the text function and convert the number to a string and append it to the word COLUMN, but as far as I know, there isn't an equivalent function in excel and running excel functions in VBA is notoriously slow (especially as I will need to do this about 360,000 times).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using nested SUBSTITUTE formula to make some changes to the some of the data. I'm also using IFERROR to return the input if it does not find the criteria I have specified. I have lot of variations in my input data.
The formula works fine for all except for date format input.
Sample:
N90232Y09--->SUBSTITUTE(A1,"N","")-->90232Y09
12335--->12335
12/3/1923---->58936 (I want the date to be retained)
why the date format is changed even if don't specify any changes for it. I expect my IFERROR to just retain the input as it is.
