Numbers Not Staying In Number Format After Splitting It
Sep 2, 2009
Here's my number 20512202250
The first 4 digits are the shop #
The last 7 digits are the part #
I had to split the number to separate shop and part
I used LEFT(a2, LEN(a2)-7) for the shop which gave me 2051
I used REPLACE (a2,1,4,"") to get the 2202250 part number
My next column is an ISNUMBER formula
When I do an ISNUMBER to 2202250, it's coming back FALSE like it's showing it NOT to be a number.
How do I get the 2202250 to show up as a number?
If I change it manually, the ISNUMBER formula works correctly and reads it as a number.
I have created a file on a 24" iMac, but when i open it on a smaller laptop the cell sizing is not the same and i cannot see the full cells or the numbers in it which is difficult, because i have someone else working on the file and i have it locked so they can't see the data unless i unlock the sheet which is something i don't want to do.
I have a text file with rows and columns of numbers ranging from 1-4 digits that I'd like to import/copy into Excel with each number being in its own cell. But whenever I copy/try to import, Excel splits all of the 3-4 digit numbers up into single digit numbers. The text file has 10,000+ columns (each number occupies two columns so I have half of that amount in numbers) and 300+ lines.
Is the file simply too large for Excel to handle or is there a way I can do this?
Is there anyway of converting the output (which is 7 and in text form) to a useable number format so that I can take advantage of the VLOOKUP function (instead of getting a #N/A)....
There is probably a really easy answer to this question but I cannot seem to figure it out. I need to calculate the sum of pages faxed on a fax report at my office on an excel spreadsheet which is downloaded from our server. It appears the file is not meant to be used in excel but it downloads as an "*.xls" file anyway. When I open the file I receive this message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FaxCetailReport.xls', is in a different format then specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
The file is comnig from a trusted source so I select "Yes" and it opens just fine. There are just over 50 rows of info, one of them being the number of pages. In a blank cell I enter "=SUM(select rows)" and the result is a "0". I have converted the cells to the "number" format, no change. When I right click on the cells and select format, the protection tab on the right has the check box "Locked" checked and unchecking it does nothing, it is checked as soon as you go back in to the protection tab.
The only way around this is to manually retype the numbers in a cell next to the pages column, which is ok for 50 numbers, but I have some sheets where there is over 1,000 entries.
how can you custom a cell format in which you may in type in information that is displayed as ###-##-####-@# I searched everywhere and cannot find this.
For example, a medicare number.
I would need to type in 581566223b6, and it should be displayed as 581-56-2236-B6.
Is there a formula or function that I can use that will allow me to split data like below into two separate cells?
In one cell, I have - Narre Warren Black 6.8-44 & in another cell - Pakenham Maroon 5.4-34 just as an example. (There are quite a number of cells like this) I would like the cell split to show - Narre Warren Black in one cell and then 6.8-44 in the next cell. The same is needed with the following cell - Pakenham Maroon in one cell and 5.4-34 in the next cell.
Because some have one space and some have 2 or 3 I can't use 'LEFT' and I can't use Text to Columns as far as I can see.
I have 2 large XLS sheets that need to be split into seperate sheets.
The first is only 5 columns wide but the amount of rows changes day to day.
The second is a maximum of 7 columns wide and again the amount of rows will change.
I'm hoping for a VBA code to be able to do both on seperate books.
The A Column has the name of the company, and this can include (/,&) that will need to be removed, the names can also exceed 31 characters. I would like to seperate the sheets by the company name and have the name appear as the sheet name.
Also the formatting from the master sheet to be copied to the resulting sheets, with a header row.
I have included the data for the larger of the two workbooks. data.jpg I have to pull the smaller report each day and the larger report each week.
I have a macro that enables me to split my master table into separate tabs based on the first column. However, the column widths and the header format is not retained. Is there something I can add to the macro below to keep the formatting?
Code: Sub DispatchTimeSeriesToSheets() Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Sheets("MasterList") Dim LastRow As Long
i have a list of customer codes each seperated by a space. In the column next to them i have a percentage. (see attached file before tab). I would like to be able to split the cell of customer codes and transpose them so that there is one cell per customer code with the appropriate % applied (please see attached file after example tab).
At the minute a manual process is completed of sorting in length order, using the text to column function then copy paste and transpose, then copy the % in. Its quite manual process, is there an easier way?
I am using excel at the moment with a card playing program. using the excel sheet they provided the details of what cards are dealt are exported to the worksheet and there is a simple table like so
Player Cards ............................................................ Player 1/ 24, 27, 16 Player2/ 1, 5
The information is fed through one number at a time as the cards are dealt for a total of three rounds sometimes it is only two rounds and are delimited by a comma all in the same column. I would like if possible to have these numbers appear in separate columns. that is
Card 1 / Cards 2 / Card 3 Player 1 Player 2
IS this possible. briefly i want this to happen so I can use the Vlookup function as the numbers that come through each stand for a card value but using Vlookup only the first number works and the following return an NA value as it is impossible as far as I know to have every possible combination represented in a table . If there is a way of tweaking Vlookup so it recognises the comma delimiter and in the vlookup column it will show all converted numbers then i'm all ears otherwise any help on how to split would be much appreciated. Quickly I did try using the text to columns function when i did this however in the new destination it showed only the first number and discontinued showing the others in the original as well. Additionally in this function the 'preview of selected data' does not show selected data but some sort of link =programme_name_card_gamecard_1 somethig like that. Sorry for the long one.
I have some data that is both text and numbers in the same cell. I would like to split the the data so that the text is in one column and the numbers are in another column.
The numbers are all a fixed length (15 chars) so I know that I can use the following formula = RIGHT(A1,15)
However I am not quite sure how to split the text as the length can vary as as well as the number of words in the string.
For example A1 is 1 word with 7 characters but A2 is 2 words, 14 characters long inc space.
I am trying to make a little game for a friend of mine. It picks a random number 1-1000 then he gets 10 chances to guess the number. After each guess, it tells him if the number is higher or lower. I have a userform that you put it your first guess, hit a button, and it tells you if the number is higher or lower. All the guess blanks and buttons are on the same UserForm. However, after you push the first button, the UserForm doesn't work anymore. How do I get it to stay functional the whole time?
I have a code in my macro to create a new worksheet. As soon as I run it, it takes me to the new worksheet. How do I stay on my current sheet instead of jumping all over the place?
I have to split a range (with a variable number of rows and a fixed number of columns) to a variable number of persons (stated in a column from another worksheet). Basically, in Sheet1 I have in column B a list of names (for example: B3="A", B4="B", B5="C"). Can be a list of 3 names, 4 names or any number of names.
In Sheet2 I have a range of data which has 12 columns and a variable number of rows.
Now, I want to divide equally the rows from Sheet2 to the names from Sheet1.Column B, by creating a new WorkSheet for every name.
For example: If I have 3 names and in Sheet2 a range of data with 10 rows and 12 columns, I want to create 3 new WorkSheets (one for every name) and in every WorkSheet I want to have an equal number of rows, as following:
By this way I splitted the list equally to the 3 names and the first name receives an extra row because 10 Mod 3 is 1, therefore remains a row undistributed.

how to write this in VBA? I tried with two FOR loops but I didn't manage to configure them properly.
I am working on my project for VBA and I need to make a program for Large Factorials sch as 25!, which is too big to fit as a Long-integer. I basically have to find a way around this by storing the numbers as arrays F() and C(). Array F is for the multiplication of each cell of memory, and C is for the carries, which will later be added. I need to separate the hundreds, tens and units of each multiplication.
To Further explain, lets say I have 12!; to find this I would take the previously calculated 11! (by using a loop) and multiply 12 by each memory cell of the array F(). So it's kind of like multiplying by hand, you bring down the units and put the carries on top to be added later. I would store the carries as one or two memory locations over of the current I, or the current loop number. So the units of the mult. would be stored as F(I), the tens would be carried and stored as C(I+1), and the hundreds would also be carried, but this time two cells over, so C(I+2)
The main problem I have is finding the proper code to split the number into units, tens, and hundreds, and then assigning them to their appropriate memory cells within their respective arrays.
Here's what I have so far:
Code: Dim F(1 To 30), C(1 To 30), N As Integer, Fact As Long, Length As Integer, space As Integer Sub LargeFactorialCalc() Open "F:project.txt" For Output As #1
F(1) = 1 N = InputBox("Enter the number you would like to take the factorial of: ")
I have a column of numbers and want to make sure everything has been entered correctly from our scanning software. Basically, I want to automatically highlight any cell that has any letter in it (e.g. z12o2 instead of 21202 or R705 instead of 5705), ignoring any cells that contain only numbers. I haven't had any luck using conditions based on formulas like =ISTEXT.
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)
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.
How to format different numbers to the same format (as text). Mainly I need code that would format numbers like 25, 25.36 or 254.60 to numbers looking like this 000002500, 000002536, 000025460. They must be of nine digit length with the last two digits as decimals.
When working in Excel I format all numbers with the accounting format. I often use the single and double underlining feature on the Font tab of the Format Cells dialog box. Sometimes when I use the double underline it only puts (and prints) one underline. I've worked with the formatting many times with little success. The only way I can get the double underline to show up in this situation is to change the vertical cell alignment to be centered and then increase the cell height. This causes me other formatting heartaches. It's like the double underline is there it just will not show.
