Convert Cells With Percentage Format To 'same' Decimal In A Column With Mixed Format
Jun 7, 2006I have a column of cells with values - 0.2%, 0.32%, 0.22, 0.5 etc. The cells with % symbol are in ' Percentage, 2 decimal' format while the plain numbers are in 'General' format i.e. column contains cells in either of these formats. I need a macro where I can specify the column and it will select the cells with the % format, convert it to 'General' and multiply the result by 100 eg. 0.2% converted to 'General' becomes 0.002. When multiplied by 100, result is 0.2 i.e. is displayed without the % symbol.

Excel 2003 :: Conditional Format Top / Mid / Bottom 33% Of Cells But Ignoring Blank Cells
Mar 25, 2012I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....
Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far using excel 2003)
Top 34%:
=IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))
Conditional Format Cells Containing Numbers And Letters - Ignore Cells With Number Only
Jul 11, 2014I have a column of numbers and want to make sure everything has been entered correctly from our scanning software. Basically, I want to automatically highlight any cell that has any letter in it (e.g. z12o2 instead of 21202 or R705 instead of 5705), ignoring any cells that contain only numbers. I haven't had any luck using conditions based on formulas like =ISTEXT.

Format Of Cells From Database
May 11, 2009-I have an excel export from a database.
-The export has multiple columns of data.
-The column I am interested consists of numbers and some text.
-The numbers are preceeded by "zeros", e.g. "00054" or "0021"
-The text is usually "N/A"
Problem:
-The column cells are formatted as "General".
-I need to get the "00054" to just "54"
-I am looking for a solution other than re-writing the column by hand (hundreds of column entries)
I've Tried:
-Changing column format to "Number", but the "00054" format remains.
-Played around with other cell format types
-If I double click the cell, the entry then goes to the format I need!!! e.g. "00054" -- double click-- "54". Wallaaaaa... I will get carpal tunnel if I have to double click all these columns entries!!

Macro To Format Cells Only Once
Jul 5, 2012I have a spreadsheet that uses a macro to format it. It’s quite simple and the code is shown below:
Code:
Range("A1:D2").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
[Code] ...........
The spreadsheet will have info constantly added on (downloaded from a CSV).
What I would like the spreadsheet to do is look at the cells and only format those that have data in them but are not already formatted – otherwise I’ll just end up re-formatting everything every time and as the spreadsheet gets bigger it'll take longer and longer.
Changes Format To DATE For All Cells
Apr 8, 2013I have a couple Excel files that exhibit a very odd and annoying behavior. When I save the files, everything is fine and all cells are formatted as they should be (e.g., general, text, numbers, etc). However, when I open the file again, all cells are formatted as date. This is quite annoying since some underlying data will be destroyed.
I already checked if the format style "normal" is damaged, and indeed it was (the standard format was set to date). However, I changed this back to general before saving, yet still see all cells formatted as date after reopening the file (this does not happen consistently... most of the time everything is fine but occasionally I get the date mess-up).
Sum Cells With General Format
Mar 12, 2009I have a group of cells in E2:E4 that are 144.00 in, 240.00 in, and 72.00 in and are formatted as general.
I get these values when I export data from an AutoCAD program to Excel and I want to sum these values to get the total length.
I want to sum the three values and have the result be the same (i.e., ###.## in). The number of values can go to 30, so I need a simple line of code, =SUM(???)

Is it possible to pre format the cells in a column so that the 978-0-7153- part of the code would be there hiding in the background and all you have to do is type the 12345 to get 978-0-7153-12345 displayed?

Jun 14, 2008I was wondering if anyone knows how to create a formula that is dependent on the colors of a range of cells subject to conditional formatting. For example, I would like something that could answer =if(A1 is red,"Phillies",if(A1 is blue,"Mets","Marlins)). However, the text color will be generated from conditional formatting, so most of the VBA code I have found thus far isn't working properly. Does anyone know of a solution?

I know I can do this by looping through all the cells on the sheet or by using the find method, but both ways require looping. I am hoping there is a quicker way.

In the 'Magic' tab, I was able to get it work with a rolling count but I am having trouble recreating it when the count is stationary and not updating itself line by line aside the person's name.
What I'm preferably looking to have happen is for the 'Name' to light up when it appears more than 3 times in a week in the Day fields, more than 1 time a week in the O/C field and more than 7 times a month in the Night field.
