Macro Changes Number Format
Nov 27, 2008
From an accounting system I download txt files that then are read into Excel in order to be workable. The numbers come out like this 1.234,00 (ie decimal as comma separator and dot as thousand separator). This does not work in Sweden so I need to get rid of the dot.
I have built a macro that apart from taking out the dot makes some other changes to the data so that one wont have to do the same thing everytime ones downloads the same type of file. The problem is that when creating the macro or just doing the text to column, number format, replacing . with nothing it all works well but when I run the macro some of the numbers become text, others are ok and for some of them the macro does not only take out the dot but also the comma (which makes a huge difference). I have both Excel 2003 and 2007 and the same thing happens with both.....

We have a macro that formats a report from our accounting program quite extensively (mostly moving text around). The last step is to select the entire worksheet and set the cell format to a custom setting #,##0.00_);(#,##0.00). We haven't been able to include this in the macro - we end up manually doing this step after the macro has completed. Is there any way to set this custom format as part of the macro?

I have some dates that I want to reformat. The file is an ascii text file, and I have imported this into excel. There are 7 and 8 character lengths
3122007
10122007
I want the dates to be all 8 characters (with a zero in front of the 7 character dates), and also I want to reverse the format, so it will read 20071203
I have a number of methods but nothing has worked yet.
After this I plan to export the file as a comma separated ascii txt file. I managed to import it, but I'm not sure how to export it.

One of the reports I run provides me information on lengths of time. Such a field displays as |0:09:16| indicating 9 minutes and 16 seconds. However, when the report generates the excel spreadsheet it saves these cells in date/time format ([h]:mm:ss). If I were to convert this field to the number format (so I can manipulate and graph it) it displays as such |0.00643460648148148| Ideally I would be able to have the data in the field stored as |556| (556 seconds, or 9 minutes 16 seconds). I have thousands of fields that I need to manipulate where the data is stored in this format and I can not figure out how to fix it.

I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet where the default number format keeps switching to the date format. I keep switching it back and it'll stay as a number format for a time, but then it'll switch back. This is also the case for any new worksheets in that one spreadsheet.
This only happens with this one file - everything else behaves according to my regional settings or to how the file had been previously formatted.

In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.
First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.

I'll get straight to the point: How can I change this text format from 474556788 to 0-47455678-8 (dash added after 0 and before the last number). I need to apply this to around 5000 rows (can't do that manualy). I want it to be int his format:
474556788 to 047-455678-8
Tks Auto Merged Post;474556788 to 047-455678-8 (This is the wanted format)

Is it possible to make a macro that will go cell by cell and format the last number of the cell as subscript? Here's an example:
Brooks #1H 5Stewart #8H, #9H 8Stevenson D Unit #1H 2150,000 BblsStewart #8H, #9H 8Stevenson D Unit #1H 2Brooks #1H 5Stewart #8H, #9H 8Holasek #1H 5Brooks #1H 5Stewart #6H, #7H 8140,000 BblsRayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6160,000 BblsHolasek #1H 5450,000 BblsStewart #6H, #7H 8#N/ARayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6Stewart #6H, #7H 8Holasek #1H 5Rayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6Stewart #6H, #7H 8Holasek #1H 5
I would like ONLY the last NUMBER of the cell to be formatted as subscript. The cells with "Bbls" would be left as is.

I received a request from a coworker regarding custom formatting some numbers in his spreadsheet. Those numbers are serial numbers of 20 characters long. Sometimes in my files I use this custom number formatting ###0 and its enough for the data I handle. But when I tried to use it in his spreadsheet, the following shows:
8456891070060510000
The cell must look like this: 08456891070060510302
The reason to have it like this is due to a Delivery Program requirement to deliver Set-top Units for repair. The Delivery Program do not recognize other format than the above. My coworker takes the data from a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet needs a custom number format to display the correct number.
find a custom number format to be able to display as my coworker need it??

Text to Number or General.xlsx
The included, small database is formatted as text. It is a text feed from an outside source. I simply want to format the cells into either numbers or general format but not text... seems simple, and it should be, but the only way I can get this done is to go to each cell and access the formula bar and re-enter the number by pressing Enter.

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.

I have a standard block of text with numbers in it pulled from various calculations in a financial model. I have done this through a formula
e.g. ="You gross profit percentage is " & D9 & "% and your gross profit is $" & D10 & "." Problem is i'd like to format the numbers that pull through so they are easier to read. At the moment in the above example D10 results in $-600000000. I'd like it to look like $(600,000,000).

I have two columns where there are dates (e.g. 11/05/2009) in a date format; I would like to change the format to `general`; but without losing the original values, i.e. I still want to see 11/05/2009, but just in `general`format. Is it possible to create a macro that will do that? I want these values to stay in the same place, i.e. if it is in cell K10, I still want to have it there - just in other format.

I have tried to write code to format numbers to zero decimal places as well as to justify the format as the zeroes appears as 00000000 when imported.
I need the macro to do this on the first 7 sheets.
I also need ------- lines and ) to be cleared on the first 7 sheets.
I have attached sample data and my code below
Code:
Sub Format_Data()
Dim Cnt As Long, i As Long
Cnt = Sheets.Count
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For i = Cnt To 7
Range("F:H").Select
With Sheets(i)

In Excel 2003, I have a series of complex(ish) lookups which populate cells in Sheet 1 from other sheets in the same workbook. Some of these cells are %ges some are not, I need to display the resultant sheet values as %ges or not based on if the cell to the left (also populated by a complex(ish) lookup) contains the character "%".
I cannot just format the cell on its own, as the list in itself is volatile and can change according to the complex(ish) lookup,
The main problem with this is I need the result to be a numeric value and NOT text in ALL cases as further calculations will be undertaken on them.
In simple if it is a %ge I need to see the %ge and use it as a %ge or if it is just a number see it as a number and use it as a number.
e.g
A B Result Req
Satisfaction with telephone access (%) 0.900032390.0%
Ability to see boss within 48 hours () 0.889 0.889

I have a data set which is in a date format of MM/DD/YY. I have converted it to YYYYMMDD. I now need to copy and permanently past the values so that the value within the cell always reads to result of the date in the format of YYYYMMDD.
Example:
-current = 07/01/08
-new format = 20080701 (cell still reads 07/01/08)
-would like the cell to read 20080701
My main goal is to bring this into Access and use this dataset with another data set, which uses the YYYYMMDD format.

I have several phone numbers that I copy and paste from the web:
I.E:
(888) 456-7890
(333) 234-5678
I need to switch all of them to just standard numbers: They should look like this:
8884567890
3332345678
I go to "format" - "cells" - "numbers" but nothing works. I wonder if any formula can do it. It should work for ALL THE LIST, I want something else than change them one by one by hand.
