Number Formatting: Enter A Number It Seems To Divide It By 100
Nov 28, 2008
I having a bit of trouble entering numbers in Excel, every time I try to enter a number it seems to divide it by 100. For example : - 1 entered in to a cell becomes 0.01, 100 becomes 1....etc. I've tried formatting the cells and had no luck, tried Tool>Options but not sure where to look.
I am wondering if it is possible to create a formula in a cell that will divide whatever number is entered into that cell by a set or fixed number.
ie. I enter the number 9 in the cell and when I press enter, the 9 is instantly divided by 15 and the answer is displayed in the cell where I just typed the 9.
What I want to do is to divide the sum of those cells with the number of cells with a value > 0 (but all cells must be controlled to check if the value > 0).
In real life it's easy to see that I want to do 14/3 (A1>0, B1>0 and E1>0 equals three cells), but how to write this formula in Excel?
my sumproduct function is adding up all items that fall on that date which is fine, but i would love to calculate an average so divide by the number of items that were used in the calculation, is that possible?
I'm trying to create a formula which will allow me to do the following
1. Enter the number of jobs received 2. Divide it by the staff available without ending up with decimals.
As an example. Say I have 60 jobs to be allocated and there are 13 peeps to distribute them to I'm currently getting 4.62. What I need to do is make sure that the jobs are only issued as whole numbers. E.g 5 peeps gets 4 and 8 get 5. I also need to factor in jobs on hand etc but I have already cracked this.
I have 4 columns labelled 1st Year, Frequency, Spread and cost. then I have columns spanning upto 30 they represent years but can be labelled as 1 to 30. My challenge is that I want a formula/function/macro that depending on what I type in the first 4 columns it will populate the remaining 30 columns with either cost or 0.
Example: if I had £9,000 at a frequency of 10, starting on the 5th year with a spread of 3.
The cost represents the cost of each frequent. so in the example I would get £3,000 on each of the 5th,6th and 7th years then another £3,000 on the 15th,16th,17th years and finally another £3,000 on the 25th, 26th and 27th years.
what I want to be able to do is have one function/formula that I can paste across all of the year cells. I currently have a formula that can copy the cost at different frequencies but I cant figure the spread out.
I have attached a sheet as an example, as i am trying to Divide a cell by the number of populated cells in that column e.g column (A) has a table of 16 but only has 13 populated cells in that column, the sum would be something like this =sum(A18/13. Sometimes the column will have less and at times more populated.
I have a 52 (one for each week) page workbook. I am trying to average cell J9 for the entire 52 pages. However the information is not added to the cell until the end of the week so week 30-52 all have 0s and should not be counted in the dividing number. Is there a way to have Excel count the number of cells that have a number (not 0) and divide the sum of the cells but that number.
=(WK1!J9+.....WK52!J9) / (counted number of cells not = 0)
I wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?
I have numbers in c2 to c5 say 1000 1580 3000 45000
I have numbers in cells d1 to kq1 (1 to 300) d1=1, e1=2, f1=3 and so on
What I want to do is:
In D2 through to kq2 it puts the number in to the cell that correspnds to a multiple of the number in b2. That would put 1000 in cells m2,w2,ag2,aq2, ba2 and so on In D3 through to kg3 it it puts the number in to the cell that corresponds to a multiple of the number in b3 that would put 1580 in cells y3,au3,bq3,cm3,di3 and so on
I am facing few problems with excel ever since I updated windows 8 to windows 8.1. Whenever i try to enter a decimal number in excel, say for eg. 3.4, it reformats to date- Apr03. I even changed the date and time formats for eg. short date is formatted to dd/MM/yy and long date to d MMMM yyyy. The format is set to enlgish (uk).. what should i do?
I am working on a spreadsheet and I want to enter a number from a table and have the associated values from the table transfer with the number into my spreadsheet. What functions and formulas should I use? (Below is the Table, the PTM# is the one I would query for.)
X L/R Y PTM# 0.54R0.5820 0.82R0.5021 0.66R0.7322 0.06L0.2723 0.03R0.1324 0.55R0.2925
In my excel spreadsheet I used to be able to enter a number then use my arrow key to move one cell to the right and then enter the next number. Now when I enter a number in a hightlighted cell and use the arrow key to move one cell to the right the cell does not move my page shifts to the right but the highlighted cell stays in the same spot. I must of hit some kind of key combination to cause this. how to fix this?
I am trying to create an input box where the user can only enter a whole number between 1 and 99. i can create the input box but am having trouble specifiying it can only be a whole number between 1 and 99.

This is creating Run Time error code 438 I've also seen Run time error code 91 while trying other methods
I have also tried getElementById() without sucess
Does this have something to do with tables or java?
Should I be using $("#id") I don't know how to use this though.
I have two columns of cells that need to be reformatted: B and C. In the B column excel is reading the cells as time (0:41:55.0), I need it to display those cells as a number like this: 00 41 55.0. In column C the cells look like this: 41 : 09 : 47.3. I need the C column cells to look just like the formatted B column cells (41 09 47.3) Also, even though they have the spaces, the numbers should be read by excel as one whole number (i.e. 41 09 47.3 would be used in a calculation as 410947.3)
I am needing a custom format for the following. I need a cell entry to be 1 letter, three numbers, a dash, 5 numbers, a dash, two numbers, a dash, and then two number. Example: A109-54785-13-00. The first letter will almost always be an "A."
To further complicate the matter, the entry is copied from an email and pasted without the dashes. In the above example, the number in the email would read, "A109547851300." I copy it from the email and paste it in the proper cell in the worksheet. I would like the custom format to automatically enter the dashes at the appropriate spot.
If it was all numbers, this would be easy. I created a custom format for the numbers, but when the A is included, Excel no longer treats it as a number and the custom format did not work.
Is this possible in Excel (without VBA).
I could use the custom number format I created and then later go back and add the "A" at the beginning, but that is as much work as manually adding the dashes.
