Mass Editing Of Turning Text To Numbers
Apr 11, 2013
I'm trying to convert some data which excel is reading as text into numbers for example I have:
[Code] ......
All the numbers I've imported from an app analytics company into excel which are greater than 1.0 appear as numbers (to the right side of the cell) and all the numbers less than 1.0 appear as text (to the left side of the cell). I want all the numbers appearing as text to appear as numbers so I can multiply them with other cells.
I've clicked format cells - number but this has no effect. I click format cells -protection - unlocked but this has no effect.
I have thousands of rows with all numbers less than 1.0 as text instead of numbers. What's the easiest way to mass convert them all to numbers seeing as the above options haven't worked.
I don't want to have to click through thousands of rows to edit it manually...

Usually this question is asked the other way around, but I have a somewhat unique problem. A certain website gives out tables filled with numbers. Positive numbers show in black font and negative numbers show in red font, but unfortunately, negative numbers do not include the minus sign -- the font is red and that's it!
I need a macro (or any other solution) that will turn the red font numbers to negative ones and would possibly format the cell to show negative numbers in red (I guess the last part is easier). The main problem is searching for the red font numbers and turning them negative.

I populated an XL sheet from another one using a formula. However, in order to use my new sheet I need all the cells to be numbers and not formulas. Is there a way to turn all the formulas into numbers, leaving behind just the numerical value ? Basically like pasting only values, only without having have to paste them somewhere else.

I have about 10,000 part numbers all with descriptions. These descriptions do not follow a uniform logic;
=============
Part 1: 5x10 Red Cotton candy
Part 2: Yellow 6/18 x7 TTC x11 Picture Frame
=============
My dilemma is that I need to figure out a way to remove everything aside from the "5x10" and "6/18 x7 TTC x11" from these descriptions. I just need the the item sizing.
What I've come up with so far is sorting items by description and working with batches of similar descriptions, then doing replace "Red*" with "blank". It works but it still takes me too much time and it's not perfect.
My question is there something else I can do that is easier and more accurate?

I run a report from a scheduling software that gives me the total hours and minutes for a weekday for my bus routes. For instance, 253 hours and 23 minutes for one day. Now though, I need to calculate how many hours and minutes for the entire month. The report will only come out with 253h23. I need to somehow take that, turn it into time and then multiply it by 20 (January weekdays). But I need real hours and minutes and I'm having trouble getting them.

I have imported values from another program. Imported values are in 000:00 form (000 for hours and 00 for minutes). If there is less than 100 hours the value is still not treated as [h]:mm. For example:
029:15
How can I erase the first one or two zeros??

I have a large .txt file that I would like to edit using VBA. What I would like to do is to find each of the following text strings in the text file :
De:
De :
Envoye
A:
Objet:
If the character right before those text strings is not a carriage return (chr(13) then add a carriage return.
I would like the code to read each line in the text file and execute the task mentioned above.

I have inherited multiple spreadsheets with thousands of hyperlinks in a single column, from all of which I need to extract the hyperlink text to audit it and edit it. The hyperlinks are only displaying less than useful words such as "Go To" "View" or "Click Here", for example.
Manually, I can right-click on the cell, select Edit Hyperlink, press Ctrl+End to select the entire link, press Ctrl+C to copy it, click on OK to close the editing dialogue, then paste it in the destination cell. That's easy, and good if you only have a few to do, but very tiresome if you have more than a dozen. Life's too short to do all those I need to do manually with a 29 day deadline!
I tried setting up a Macro to do it for me, but couldn't get it to work down a column and paste the result in the destination cell on the same row as each successive cell was located. I do very little Macro work, and I find Excel to be less than intuitive in this respect, so I gave up. (At least in Word you can see the whole step-by-step process in the Macro Editing window and easily fix it, if need be...).
One previous discussion, dating from 2006, supplied two answers. See [URL]
Should I set up a Macro and insert the above Function into it? Or is there a completely different way to do it? how to do this in Excel 2003/WinXP is very welcome.

I have a text file, which has a column of wrong data. I can change it manually by loading it into Excel but it is semi-colon delimited and I can't export to such a file.
I therefore, would like to write a VBA tool, which reads the file and edits the the value between the 5th and 6th semi-colon and will continue do this for each row (the new value is constant across the rows).

i have a list of about 20,000 phone numbers that I need to edit.
all start
01 123456
01 123457
01 123458 etc
I am trying to create a macro that will change them to
+001123456
+001123457
+001123458 Etc
However, no matter what I try it always comes out as
+001123456
+001123456
+001123456
F2 Copy and paste is going to take me forever, and I am sure that there must be a quicker way to do this.
this is my first time creating macros so am completly lost.
I want to keep the text that is in the cell that I am editing, just add the country code and delete the space.

But the formula seems to be working properly.
I've got ALOT of parentheses, 5 nested IFs, 5 ANDs, 4 ORs. The ANDs and ORs are within the IFs.
While editing the formula, I can, at times, achieve the condition where the cell references become color-coded. Or at least some of them do. But, when I get to this point, I'm usually at a spot where I can see the formula isn't right.
I'm confused. What does it mean when my text is all red when I go to edit a formula? Did I hit some limit? Again, I don't get error messages and the formula seems to work properly.

I need the values that are copied from the template to copy over in text form from the "Data" Tab. Secondly, the master sheet has multiple lines for each vendor. For the area highlighted in red I'd like for it to copy all cells in column C for the vendor and search the vendor by name. Then, move to the next sheet.

ie:
Cell A1 = Ref#01
Cell B1 = A1&(whatever I choose to type)
Result in cell B1: Ref#01whatever I choose to type
Looks like I would need a macro because a function will be overwritten as soon as I start typing in cell B1.

I have a table with 6 columns (with headers A -F) and 10 rows. There are values in each cell. I want to take a value from each of the 6 columns and concatinate them. I would like some code that would generate every possible resulting string and I would like the possiblities set out in one column.
Apart from the fact that it might be tricky enough to produce the code , by my calculations there will be 10 to the power of 6 possibilities and as far as I know there are only 65000 rows in my version of Excel. If they had to be put into 2 or 3 columns I would not mind

How can I put in a formula which will look at the contents of cell A1 and B1 and then if the contents of cell A1 match you put in the contents of cell B1 into B2. I know this sounds confusing so let me explain cell A1's contents are 1 and B2 has the amount of $312.50 so if cell A2 is also a 1 then I need to put in the amount of $312.50 into B2, same would go for B4 since A4 matches the contents of A3 I need to put $625.10 into B4....

I have 4 employees by 52 weeks tabs in a workbook. The first 4 tabs are as follows:
Pat 010810
Dan 010810
Max 010810
Ann 010810
I would like some method (maybe VBA?) that I can rename the subsequent tabs, having the same names but the date with a seven day increment; i.e.the next tab would show Ann 011510, etc.
I don't know how to code, but can get to the VBA page and copy really well.

I need to transfer a large amount data (~2,5 million lines of data) from one spreadsheet to another while making sure the destination file is kept in a certain format.
Spreadsheet "oxno" is the file that needs filling out with data provided to me in spreadsheet "ox"
The value that is the matching criteria will be the ITS account number (Field B in "ox" and field A in "oxno") and the currency (Field B in "oxno" and field G in "ox")
So I want a macro to look in "oxno" and use field the values of field "a" & "b" and search for the them in "ox" in fields "B" & "G". Once it finds a match it should copy the value of field "I" in "ox" and paste into field "n" on "oxno".
The next data to be copied should be what goes into field "O" in "oxno" this data is derived from field "L" or "M" but only when its of numerical value with one non numerical field in it (usually a "/"). Last value that I need copied over is Field "T" on "oxno" this is derived from field "J" or "M".
I realise the potential conflict because two sets of queries will be looking to gather values from field "M" on "ox". That is why I am hoping when we look for value for field "O" in "oxno" we only look for numbers with one non numerical field in it (usually a "/") .
After finishing writing this up, I realise how wordy this has become appologies for that, but hopefully someone will be able to understand what I am looking to achieve and will be able to suggest a solution.

I would like to do a mass paste of this formula: =VLOOKUP(A23,A2:C9, 2)
With the only variable that changes along the way (A24, then A25, etc). But as I paste, (A2:C9), the table array, keeps changing as well, to A3:C10, A4:C11, etc.
How can I prevent this and only have A23 change as I paste?

I am working on combining several Excel spreadsheets and a report from a different program into one master Excel report. I have a macro built so the report can be compiled efficiently every quarter. However, I have one obstacle to overcome before I reach report programming bliss: The other program's report does not use a date format that Excel can interpret as a date. Excel interprets it as a value.
Specifically, the other program outputs September 3, 2009 as 9032009. It is crucial that the report be arranged in chronological order (time is a separate field). Does anybody know if there is a way to mass convert a bunch of values that look like 9032009 into 9-03-2009?

I have a workbook with lots of analytic data from my company which I want to share with other people not associated with the company. Obviously I can't share private data so I'm wondering if theres a quick way to modify all the data I have with 'fake numbers' which means I could share it. With fake numbers no privacy rules will be breached etc.
Is there a quick way to randomly change all numbers by +/- 10-20%?

I have a large worksheet with a unit name column, category, brigade, etc.
Everytime I get the data, I have to make the same changes. Is it possible for me to automate the process so that for example if the name column contains 'CID' or 'AMC MGD' delete those rows, if it contains 'ENG' change the brigade column for that row to '92ENG' etc.?
