Leading Zeroes Being Removed On IMPORT
Feb 15, 2009
I am importing an existing HTML table into excel, using the Data > Import Extrenal Data > HTML Query.
The data table is being imported correctly, however, the first column is a set of claim numbers (alpha-numeric).
Excel is stripping away the leading zeroes.
e.g. Claim numbers are of the form:
Actual: 000005847161 Excel Conversion: 5847161
Actual: 020000008760WC01163 Excel Conversion: 020000008760WC01163
The second one (which is alphanumeric) is being treated correctly, the first one is not.
The purely numerical claim numbers can of variable length to each other e.g. one could be 15 digits, another could be 12 for example.
Is there any way to preserve the original values including to have the claim numbers being imported as their EXACT values?

I have a spreadsheet that was given to me o work on that has a field that contains an ID #. I need to import the file into Access after massaging it a little. The table that it will be imported to requires eight digits including leading zeroes. The data in the ID field of the spreadsheet I was given is displayed in the correct eight digit format, but the actual data is missing the leading zeroes so when I try to import it, I lose them. Is there a quick way to reformat that field in the spreadsheet to add the leading zeroes to the data?
Here's what the field looks like:
Displayed: Data stored as:
ID ID
--------- ---------
00568695 568695
10423568 10423568
02389999 2389999
00023567 23567

I currently have a column with each cell containing alphanumeric data of a filename.
The majority of cell data looks something like this.
"AB_XYZ_0408_00700.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_00708.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_02200.doc" etc
**Note the numbers "00700" are always 5 digits long also note the extension is always ".doc" (4 characters long). However the other parts, AB_XYZ etc vary in length based on the worksheet.
I need to ADD or Subtract "+1" or "-1" from the 5 digit number for example make "00700, into 00701"
I currently tried to separate the data into columns which provides me with the number 00700 isolated in its own cell and then I simply add or subtract 1. In that isolated cell I am able to add "leading zeroes" and it works great.
The Problem is that when I combine the separated cell data "=A1&B &C1" with the New number (in this case 00701") the problem that I run into is the leading zeroes do not follow over to the combined cell and I am left with a final filename like this "AB_XYZ_0408_701.doc" - That is missing the leading zeroes.
Also if you have a more advanced formula that could simply add and subtract "1" from the 5 digit number that would be ideal.

I need Excel to create Date's of Birth from following data in column A. If the data are 7 numbers long, I need to add a '0' to the start and have used the custom format of 0#######. This works fine but I need the data in column B to just display the first 4 digits. I have used =LEFT(A1,4) to do this, but it's not picking up the 0's which I've added.

I have a column of data that is given to me that is a mix of letters and numbers and I need the numbers to have leading zeros, they must all be three digits. 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.

I have a problem which may seem simple but is daunting for me.
I have a file in xls format that i need to import data from.
The problem is with column A, (e.g. 0233 45) if I get rid of the spaces I loose leading zero, if I keep the zero I cannot get rid of spaces. The thing is I need both conditions satisfied.
To summarize:
1)Import file and delete columns B and C
2)In column A get rid of spaces but keep leading zero (it's important to keep the zero where it exists, not add one). The length is different for each string in column A.
Here is a small sample of the file that is imported

So this forum has helped me in the past develop a standard deviation that removes max and min from the data set.
=STDEV(LARGE(E5:AB5,ROW(INDIRECT("2:"&COUNT(E5:AB5)-1))))
Would if be possible to adjust this formula to ignore N/A's?

I'm busy cleaning information from an excel spreadsheet. Not all the columns are populated. e.g. Row 17 will only have an email address in column E whilst row 18 will have a name, surname, company and email address (same as in row 17).
Using the remove duplicate function, removes row 18 and thus leaves me with the row that only contains the email address.
What would it take for me to be able to remove the rows that do not have the additional columns populated?

I have a module that imports data from a text file (120000 rows), filters and removes some unneeded (85000)rows and then puts the data in a designated workbook.
Problem: when filtering by some criteria it for some reason removes a row off the final file for each criteria. I have a total of 23 filtering criteria. I have attached a file for exemplification. You can run the module and import the file, it will be without first 23 rows, even if non of the deleted rows contained the filter criteria.

I'm some cells with validation but when I copy some data (whose cells do not have the validation), and paste onto the cells with validation, the validation is no longer there.
How could I ensure that the validation is still there after the Copy-Paste action? Since the spreadsheet is used by multiple users, I can't force the users to do a Paste Special.

I had to remove a lot of pictures in the xls file in order to attach it, (since the original is about 5.3mb) but it worked out. When you move your arrow over the titles in column A a picture shows up thanks to a code. When you change the status in column G, the color changes together with the title in column A, as it should.

I'm working on a macro, where some of the action has to do with adding zeroes in front of numbers, so that every number gets the same amount of digits. 4 to be exact. This means that the number 1 is transformed to 0001. 12 -> 0012, and of course 123 will be 0123. You get the point. Every number gets 4 digits, and 0 is the filler.
I am a total newbie when it comes to these things, so my script consists of shameless cutting and pasting from other peoples works. This also means that I don't have the slightest clue of what to do when things aren't going my way.
Everything is going perfectly, except for one important thing: The macro treats numbers with decimals in a way I absolutely don't want it to. I want for example 12,3 to become 0012,3 -- but the macro insists on not changing it at all. I figured this happens because the comma (and the numbers behind it) are counted too. Therefore, a number like 12,3 already has four digits. But I want it to be 0012,3! This is making my head hurt.
My question is: Are there any way of making the program ignore the comma and all the other digits behind it? So that they are not counted. Or is there another way of dealing with this problem?

I need a macro to do a comparison between two spreadsheets, and one part of it is throwing me, as I need to compare apples to oranges. Here's the situation:
Sheet A has the data noted like this:
PAC
11000
11100
11500, etc.
All data should have 5 digits, and my numbers range from 11000 to 87028, though quite a few are skipped.
Sheet B has data like this:
PAC
110
110-CBS
11000
11100-ING
112
11500-L
How can I change sheet B to:
1) Drop off the dash and anything following?
2) Add trailing zeroes to make sure all numbers are 5 characters in length?

How you can find the min with simpler ranges, but my equation doesn't work with what I've found so far. I want to skip the zeroes and blanks.
=IF(AC44>0,(MIN((FS13+FL13),(FS18+FL18),(FS23+FL23),(FS28+FL28),(FS$417+FL$417),
(FS$422+FL$422),(FS$427+FL$427),(FS$432+FL$432))) ,)

I wonder if you can help me in this question. I have a MIN function which calculates the smallest value in a list of percentages and then divides each percentage by the smallest in the list. It works fine until one of the percentages becomes zero with the resulting division-by-zero error. Do you think it is possible to make the MIN function to exclude all instances (there may be more than one zero) of zeroes from its calculation? I have attached the spreadsheet.
correct cacluation
130,00%1,20
225,00%1,00
325,00%1,00
445,00%1,80
messy calculation
10,00%#DIV/0!
225,00%#DIV/0!
325,00%#DIV/0!
445,00%#DIV/0!

I am trying to figure out a way to delete the zeroes using VBA codes .
There is a spreadsheeet that contains company code, account, amount1 and amount2. If both amount1 and amount2 are zero, the VBA code will delete the entire row automatically. I am thinking of the With Range feature, but how I would determine what is the lastrow of the spreadsheet? Also how I can find the first zero and then the second zero in the same row? I vaguely recalled the find function, but can't write out the codes.

I have a series of 29 categories, each with a value to make a bar graph. The values aren't large, and a large portion of them are zeroes, I'd say on average about 3/4 have a zero as the respective value. Is there a way to make the bar graph ignore the ones that have a zero value and not put them on? Since every week these numbers can change, I would prefer if the method didn't involve some kind of sorting to get the values that aren't zeroes seperate from the rest.

the a running total of all hours worked.
BUT
Every time I would clear the form the data will be removed from the linked

When "Show a zero in cells that have zero value" is checked in "Display Options", all cells in the worksheet with zero values display "0". Can selected individual cells in such a worksheet be formatted to hide the zeroes they contain?

How do I go about having a formula which will return the number of times 0 is repeated in a column sequentially?
e.g.:
0
1
0
0
0
0
0
1
0
0
0
The idea being that after row 7 (there have been 5 consecutive zeroes), the count would reset when it hits a value greater than zero, and then count again once it hits a zero again.
Output for the example above should be 3.

How to find a tweak to my formula so as to displays blanks rather than zeroes.Here is the formula I have right now:
=OFFSET(L$3,MATCH($B110,$B$4:$B$107,0),0)
I have many rows of data in a worksheet, with the headings in Column B. At the bottom of the worksheet (beginning in row 110), I created a dropdown menu (Validation->List) to select which rows of data from above to be displayed. I simply want to re-display the chosen rows exactly as they are above. But using this offset formula, all the blanks from above become zeroes.

I have 2 worksheets in which the worksheet named Existing Items has a table consisting of list of items with their unit price & worksheet named New Items also has a modified table with updated items (some parts might be added, removed, modified or unchanged). I have attached the test workbook (Sample.xlsx) here for your reference.
I am looking for a macro that compares these 2 sheets with the Part Number as a Unique Identifier & displays the result in the following manner:
New items added in New Items -> List these items in the Items Added worksheet Items removed from Existing Items -> List these items in the Items Removed worksheet Items whose price has changed in New Items -> List these items in the Price Change worksheet Items whose price has not changed in Existing Items & New Items -> List these items in the Unchanged worksheet A Summary worksheet which shows the count of items added, removed, modified & unmodified
Note that I have already included information in the Existing Items, New Items, Price Change, Unchanged & Summary worksheets just for your reference but this needs to be done by a macro.

I use Office 2010. I have an Access database that goes out and runs various queries from our systems of record. It then takes the data and dumps it into an Excel file. I have taken the info and created a file the grabs the raw data, converts it into Pivots and then Charts. All info is automatically updated however the size will change depending on what department is quering the data. It is really all done with a click of a button. I have tried to merely uncheck the "(blank)" but it comes back everytime the report is ran.
How can I keep it from returning??

I've read various "solutions" to my request but it's Greek to me. Simply stated I occasionally have to create worksheets that involve dollars and cents. My question is how can I get Excel to stop dropping the zero if its the last digit to the right of the decimal point? $42.30 becomes $42.3, etc.
I've looked through the preferences/options and can find nothing to rectify this. Any way to do this so that keeping the zero becomes the default for any tables, lists, etc that I create in the future?

Couple ways:
1) Format the cell as Text: Format->Cells->Text
2) Enter the zip code with a ' preceding the number, i.e. enter 00345 as
'00345
3) Enter the zip code with the formula ="00345" ...

I'd like to calculate the standard deviation and mean of a whole load of data. Unfortunately it has some errors, FALSE values, blank cells and zeroes I'd like to exclude. Calculating the average is no problem as the AVERAGEIF function works fine, but there is no equivalent for STDEV. The (array) formula
STDEV(IFERROR(E29:E32,FALSE))
ignores the cells with errors and calculates the SD, and the (array) formula
STDEV(IF(E29:E32>0,E29:E32,FALSE))
ignores the cells with a value of 0 in them and calculates SD.
How can I combine the two into one formula?
