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 a cell tha't set up as a number format with the validation only accepting 3 whole number characters, however if the number is 098 then it converts it to 98. I need for that cell to be a number type format and to accept 0 as the first character. I thought I tried everything but I'm sure I'm missing something.

I want column S to show today's date if any cell is modified within that row.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells(Target.Row, 19).Value = Int(Date)
End Sub
and it works, I get today's date in that row. But when I do a test on the date, (=ISNUMBER) I get false which means I can't check that date with a macro.

I need excluding text from a cell and come out with a random number up to 3 numbers. Please see the attached image;
If you notice in column D there is text and a number that starts with a decimal, for example on the first row is .437 the next row is .215 next row is .63 etc... Is there a way to come out with a random number mixing it up to 3 digits and output those number on column "E"? Im only interested in filtering and coming out with the random number i mentioned .437 .215 .63 etc... not the +/-.010in.
There is no right or wrong number, i just need to come out with random number using up to 3 numbers up.
Maybe for .437 three numbers up could be .440 for the next row .215 maybe a number up .216..etc..
Hope there is a way to do this, my excel file is too long to type a number manually.

I use pivot tables extensively in my job. I have several spreadsheets that feed from acess database tables to build pivot tables. Besides the fields imported from Acess, I also create calculated fields. The problem is, for both the calculated fields and the imported fields, the number formatting does not stick. I know how to go to field settings, then to number, and change the customized format. The problem is, once I take that field out of the pivot table and bring another one with a different format (say, bring a field with currency format and take away one field with a percentage format) and then bring the original field back to the privot table, the number format is gone.
This is really annoying since I work with dozens of fields, and it takes time to change the number settings every time I change fields on the pivot table, and the number of decimal places, etc. I stress that I know how to change the number formatting on fields, it's just that it excel does not remember it afterwards.
I thought that maybe the formulas in excel might allow one to include the formating, but I have not been able to find if this is possible, and if so, how to do it. So, for example, the following formula for a calculated field:
=IF(ISERROR(Contribution/'Block Hours'), "0", (Contribution/'Block Hours'))
would be nice if the formula itself could include the number formating. I tried including something like , 0.00% at the end, but it does not work.

Example below of the data I have. I need to convert dates into DD.MM.YY (8 chars) for SAP. I receive spreadsheets where the date is dd/mm/yy and I use the replace to convert the "/" to ".", then format this column as TEXT. My problem is some of these sheets have hundreds of records and rather than individually scroll through and look for data that requires the "0", is there a way to insert this. I can custom format that it looks as it has the zero, but it is not in the true data.
1.10.12 data should be 01.10.12
11.10.12 this is correct
3.11.12 data should be 03.11.12
3.06.12 data should be 03.06.12 etc

I have a spreadsheet with a column full of dates
I used the formatting wizard to make all dates the format of dd/mm/yyyy but, now, when I put a date in the column it throws up a number '41313' instead of a date, even if I manually input the date in the same format as above.
Also, I have tried to turn cells back into general number fields, but this doesn't appear to be changing it back to a date format..
There are HUNDREDS of dates I might have lost if I can't get them to start showing as dates again!

I created this formula =G2*2.9%+.3
what I am trying to do is take the number in the G column multiply it by 2.9% and add 0.30. For instance if 20.00 is in the G2 cell, the number I want the formula to produce is .88
the formula works for me but what happens is the rest of my sheet that does not have any numbers in the G column gets filled with .30
How do I prevent the formula from calculating if the G column is blank?

I need to obtain a range of cells starting on cell B10 to the end of records (vertical)
I need to do two things with this:
1) Count the number of records from cell B10 to the last row populated with data
2) Format the cells in this range
FYI - "R" is always the last column.

I have a column with a general format that looks like this: "057828001 - WACS - Irving".
I need to remove the latter part of the value " - WACS - Irving"
I am doing that by using the replace all and typing in "-*"; that gives me a result of 57828001.
I need a result of 057828001.
How do I retain the leading zero?

I am trying to do some basic VBA in my spreadheet, I just want to create an auto-open statement that inputs then next sequential number in column A1 every time the s/s is opened i.e.1,2,3,4 .....
I am using excel 2007 and my knowledge is very limited. I used a code:
Sub AUTO_OPEN
Range("A1") = Format(Range("A65536"), "YYYYMMDD") & Right(Range("A1"), 3) + 1
End Sub
(the first time you open the file you would need to add the first entry '20021122001)
But this does not work and I get a compile error when run thru debugger.

I have two worksheets, sheet 1 and sheet 2. On sheet 1, I have a information on two columns (Column A and B) Column a has information up to row 10 (aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, ...). On column B, I have 111, 222, 333 . I have same information on Sheet 2. However, sheet two has an additional column (Column C) with 10 rows on information z, y, x, w, v ...
What I need to do is to match column A and B in sheet 1 to column A and B in sheet 2 and if both columns matches on the same row, copy the value in sheet 2, column C and paste it on sheet 1 column C.
Important: Information on sheet 2, column B may be twisted (As they may not appear exactly the same as in sheet 1. Which means 111,222,333 can be 222,333,111 along the column). Therefore, need to match the entire range.

I have a listbox (form control) on an excel sheet, where the user can select (or deselect) multiple entries.
Is there a way to have vba spit out which options are selected? if I choose "single" for selection type, it will tell me which option i have selected. Is there something similar for multiple?

I've got a problem where I need to assign values to ranges between 0 and 3.
Eg.
RANGE VALUE
2-3 2.2
1-3 1.6
0-3 0.8
0-2 0.5
0-2 0.5
0-1 0.1
0-1 0.1
0-1 0.1
0-1 0.1
The values above are simply approximates done manually but I need it done automatically using a formula. The resulting values should be proportioned similarly to the ones above but they need to all sum up to 6 and be no more than 3 each.

I have a large number (couple of hundred) pdf's in a folder for electrical test certificates. The pdf's are in the format 54 Pike Drive.pdf etc. and have the date modified.
Ideally, as well as the address I would like the date modified as this is pretty close to the date of the certificate so will suffice.
Failing the date, just the addresses will do which need to go on separate rows in Excel.
I've tried copying and pasting the files but to no avail.

I'm working on a program, which gives me interpolated values of z from a digitized graph based on the cursor position or input values of x and y. Thing that bothers me for quite some time is how to get properly interpolated z value. I was using SADA (spatial analysis software), where I was creating a 100x100 matrix, but the interpolation methods there are not as accurate as I need.
Basically, from digitizing a graph I get a matrix:
VB:
x1, y1, z1;
x2, y2, z1;
x3, y3, z2;
x4, y4, z2;
.
.
.
x3742, y3742, z24
Now, inputting x and y that are not in the matrix should give me interpolated value of z, which gets even more tricky when the axes are in log scale. The only idea that I have in my mind and that I think would work is this:
for each missing z, from zmin=0,625 to zmax=3 , every 0,001, I would make 1000 (enough accuracy in this case) xs and ys. How to automate the process.

so basically, im trying to find a way to get cell G3 to have Value X dependant on value from Cell G2. e.g. if cell g2 is 8 and 9, g3=10 if g2 is 11, g3=20 and so on. i dont mind having to add a preset table of values if we need, but it would be set on sheet 2.
EDIT
Value from cell G2 will always be between 4 and 20, set by the user. what i want is that each of those values gives G3 a pre-planned value.
if g2 has value 4. g3 value would be -5
if g2 has value 5. g3 value would be 0
if g2 has value 6. g3 value would be 5
if g2 has value 7. g3 value would be 5
if g2 has value 8. g3 value would be 10
if g2 has value 9. g3 value would be 10
if g2 has value 10. g3 value would be 15
if g2 has value 11. g3 value would be 20
if g2 has value 12. g3 value would be 20
if g2 has value 13. g3 value would be 25
and so on until it reaches g2=20
i was thinking of setting a table on sheet 2 for the g3 values, and get an IF function to do something like IF g2 = a then x, if g2 = b then y etc etc. im just not sure how it would work, unless an INDEX function would work better?

Is it possible to obtain the numerator and denominator from a fraction?
For example, I entered different numbers and display them as fractions in the cell using the format "?/?"
Is it possible to obtain the numerator and denominator from that cell and place them into a different cell?
ex: In cell [A1] is the value "1/4"
can i take the numerator "1" and place it in cell [A2] and the denominator "4" and place it in cell [A3]
By the way, I've tried using the functions LEFT and RIGHT but they display the value in it's decimal form. (example: RIGHT(A1, 2) displays the number "25" from 1/4=0.25 as opposed to "/4"
