reading a zero number in a cell
here an example :
on Cell A1 = 01
on Cell B2 = 10
so I write at C1 the formula is =left(A1,1) but how come the number that comes out is 1 not 0 (zero) ?
but if I write at D1 the formula is = right(A1,1) the number comes out is 0 (zero)
how to make the formula that can read the zero in Cell C1?
Have 2 columns of data
Need to read the cell value of column A that corresponds to the MAX in column B. Trying to use OFFSET to read the col to the left but will not work.
Example of table and expected result
A B
1 1
2 1
3 2
4 6
5 3 Result = 4
I have numbers in a cell such as 1/25, 4/31, 12/35 etc I have the current formula to extract the left or right number but when there is only a single digit it also includes the / is there a way of eliminating this.
The numbers vary from 1 to 2 digits.
My current formula is =IF(C15<18,LEFT(E8,2))+IF(C15>18,RIGHT(E8,2))
I only want it to show the number not the forward slash
I have a question, how do i display a number 0 in front of another number? Example, I am working with these zipcodes and there is a 000213 but it only shows up as 213 in the cell. Is there a way for it to be 000213 with out me using the tilde sign `000213?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet to keep track of products. I use an SKU column with a Unique Number to keep track of those items on the shelves.
When I started my project I never imagined that my database would grow as large as it has. I started my SKU numbers with 80000, never suspecting that I would get to 90000. I am now at 125700. Many items have been removed / sold so it only encompases only 15500 rows.
On the site that I sell these Items, the SKU's when displayed start with 100000 and go to 125700 where 80000 is next and goes to 99999? ( or the reverse depending on which tab I choose ) Not sure why this is but there is nothing I can do to change the way they do it so I must find a way to change my system. With all the 80000 - 99999 items numbered - changing them to 6 digit 125700+ numbers would be a huge undertaking so I would like to add a 0 in front of each 5 digit Number in my SKU Column. That way my items will show 080000- 125700 instead of starting in the middle.
I do keep the column my ascending order so it is currently formated as a Number. I do at times copy an paste or pull ranges items by SKU numbers to mark down or modify.
When I place a 0 manually in front of 80000- it disappears when I move from the Cell.
If I change it to a TEXT cell- it stays in place.
Excel help doesnt answer my dilemma-- nor does my book.
I see there are masks etc -- or is just text OK ? (as I stated - I do use an numbered order or range to identify groups of items at times )- if text is OK, what is the best way to add a 0 to the start of each 5 digit number other than individually ?
There are Gaps in my sequence so I cannot just replace the first cell with 080000 and pull down.
I am having trouble filling a formulae series to the left on one spreadsheet, the fomulae being references to another sheet.
For example, I have two sheets 'Mtce Options' and 'Base Case'. In 'Mtce Options' I have the following formulae
A B C
1='Base Case'!A15='Base Case'!D15='Base Case'!G15
I want to fill to the left, incrementing the column references by a factor of 2 each time, eg. next two should be ='Base Case'!J15 and ='Base Case'!M15.
However, if I autofill to the left by highlighting A1, B1 and C1 or just B1 and C1 all I get is an inappropriate reference such as ='Base Case'!D15 or ='Base Case'!F15, respectively, in D15.
I have a list of numbers with 2, 3, and 4 digits. Is there a formula that can recognize if there are only 2 digits, it will add 2 zeros in front of the number.
For example,
47 will become 0047
234 will become 0234
1234 will become 1234
Need a function that would insert a letter or a number in front of numbers in a cell for example
column A
3245
I want to insert the prefix "S" in front of the nummbers 3245. so i would hopefully end up with
Column A
S3245
I need to add an extra four zeros to a number in a cell - in this case an ID number, so that i can do a lookup from another list. Basically what i have is two lists of ID numbers in a field of a database, in one i have the correct display/format, so that a number would look like 000054454545. In the second list however the number is only shown as 54454545, due to differences in the programs which imported them. I would like to know if its possible to use a function or macro in excel to basically insert the four zeros onto the number ie 0000 + 54454545 = 000054454545 so that i can do a lookup of one for the other.

Here is the current code I am using: =IF(A1="MIXED DBLs 1st Place",'Mixed Doubles'!B9,"")
What has happened is I am changing the Field Mixed DBLs to a field that could have multiple values, so I am no longer going to be able to do a test on a Hard-Coded Value.. So is there a way to only validate on the front of the word like just MIXED DBLS and nothing after that??
Items in Column A1 are calculated by (B2/4+5)*1.4 Items located under the columns 2000, 3000, 4000, etc... 10,000 are calculated by taking the top number, eg 2000/(A1 cell value)+the column B number. 2000/7+0 = 286 (rounded numbers)
I need to find an way to look up for x number (2000,3000,4000, etc...) find the smallest number in that column and then return the value in column A1.

I have this set of number..
987654.
What im trying to do is this..I read this number and check for the first number with the 2nd number. If its greater then i will swap it. Im trying to do this so that my number can be rearranged as 456789.
I can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.
Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.
I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?
I am trying to get a SUM function to recognise values within a range of cells, that are immediately followed by a *. i.e. 34*
For each range i need to count the total number of inputs, count the number of starred inputs & add up all the values entered.
Currently COUNT doesn't recognise starred values, COUNTIF is set to count only starred values, and SUM wont recognise the value of the starred values.
Is there a way to only read the number element of an input - there are only integer values & starred integer values. The starred inputs are also conditionally formatted. If there is a way would it then affect the COUNT/COUNTIF element?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.
The code below is for a Userform to allow data to be entered into a form and than placed into a worksheet. Also this code allows me to edit the existing data in the worksheet and than place the data back into the worksheet when down editing.
The problem is some of the data in my userform are numbers and the userform is reading it as text. When I enter numbers into the userform and than place it into the worksheet, how can I change the code so that the userforms to recongnize numbers not a text?

I have a spreadsheet with 3 columns. The first column has a list of numbers, the second column has a list of numbers, and the third column has a code, one of which is “IP”
I want to look up IP, when I find it I need to get the number in the column to it’s left, on the same row. Then I need to look up that number in the first column (which will be on a separate row). I then need to change the word in the third column of that row to “Kit”.
Col. A has numbers
Col. B has numbers, some of which are the same as in Col. A, but not in the same row
Col. C has a code, one of which is ‘IP’
I want to look for ‘IP’ in column C. When I find it, I want to get the number corresponding number from Col. B (same row), then look up that number in Col. A. (remember, Col. A and Col. B have some of the same numbers, they are just not in the same row).
When I find that number in Col. A, I want to change the code that is in Col. C, from that same row, to read “Kit”
Example: I find “IP” in Col. C. The coinciding number in Col. B is “4630.0”. I find that number in Col. A (one row down) and need to change the “CP” in Col. C to “Kit”.
Col. A Col. B Col. C
12345.0 46730.0 IP
46730.0 CP – (this needs to be changed to “Kit”)
I type random numbers into column B
I want cell E10 to read column B then display (number 26 for example) how many times number 26 appears in column B
In a large database with a large portion of cells that contains a flag to the left of a number "<LD 2.0" what would be the quickest way to move the flag to the left of the number so that it reads "2.0 <LD". This seems like it should be simple to do. I would prefer not to have to use a second cell and formula to do the modification if that makes sense. I'd rather do a "Find and Replace" if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table of data that I need to find the leftmost and rightmost number in that are greater than a specified number in another cell. I've attached a spreadsheet to show what I've got to work with.
I need to do this 1 row at a time and have the outcome in descending cells on the right hand side of the 2 example rows.
Basically I have a phone number in column A:
123-456-1234
In column B, I want it to show me the first 3 numbers from the left, (so 123)
So I do =LEFT(A2,3)
Which gives me 123, but it's displayed as text, which ruins my whole formula that looks up the area code and displays the state.
I googled the problem and found http://exceltip.com/st/Make_LEFT_Fun...umber/778.html
which tells me to do:
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)+0=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)="1","Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as text]
but when i try that it just displays the ENTIRE phone number: 123-456-1234
Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.
eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000
or 2p I need the 2
I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!
I have to put different ticket numbers for a company with some code. At present, I am manually copying and pasting data (which is too difficult as sometimes, tickets may be more than 300). So, suggest some easy way out, keeping in mind that I am new to Excel. I want this as output.
Company Name= New Horizons
Code=CS/02
Number of Tickets=1/300
Here, I want to increment number of tickets automatically like 1/300, 2/300, 3/300 till 300/300 and all the other entities like Company name and code should remain same. My rest of data remains same except number of tickets through out. I also have to print same data.
I have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")
This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'.
e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
I have attached an example. Basically I had this set up to calculate the row and give the answer at the end. But now I cant see the results without scrolling, so I want to move the answer fields to the C column and add new data into the D column while keeping all the data in the formula.
