I'm trying to keep some basketball stats, and from ESPN the field goals are reported as 10-16, or 5-14, to indicate how many field goals were made out of attempts.
When I paste this into Excel it automatically interprets it as a date. So 10-16 turns into Oct-16, and 5-14 turns into May-14. How do I stop this?
Ignore the screenshot!
I am trying to paste in a decimal equivalent chart, loacted here:
http://www.advancedtool.com/prod02111.asp
which basically has a mixture of whole numbers and fractions, and how they equate in decimals.
When I paste this in, all the fractions turn into dates. So for instance 1/64 turns into Jan/64, and 1/32 is Jan/32. Now, I could go in and change each one, but I would like to know how to do this with cell format on the entire sheet....
I have tried to change the cell formats to "general" or "text" and of course fraction, but in this case, I have to go in and do each fraction cell individually. Now maybe I am being too lazy, and in the time it took me to look up my login information, and type this out, I likely could have re-done the worksheet, each cell individually, but I would like to know the way to fix this automatically.
I have a spreadsheet full of data and in one column the are a set of text codes some of them start with a -... ie -AGEST excel automatically turns this into #NAME?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an excel workbook which requires us to enter the log details of some sites and then a report is generated using these logs (report attached) . [URL] .......
I want that excel should automatically identify the site and calculate its outage with the following formula:
Outage %age= Total Outage(min)/100.80
and add it in the respective column while identifying the outage.
e.g. if outage is of power then the calculated %age outage should be pasted in the power outage column in front of the respected site.
e.g. in the sheet attached above the first row in the first sheet states that SKU2326 was down for 50 mins
Now %age outage will be
Outage %age= 50/100.80
Outage %age=0.496
Now as the outage is related to power so this outage should go into power column in sheet number 3 labelled as "Network Total Up time Week#17"
Now the next time SKU2326 becomes down it should be added with this 50 mins and the outage calculated as presented above.
I have a sheet which contains a folder listing of files with the filename displayed as a hyperlink.
I would like to have a formula which works out a couple of values based on the file name which has been copied into a given cell as a hyper link.
In my sheet Column F contains the file names (as hyperlinks)
e.g. Anab AM1 2006-02-27.pdf
or CD 01_02 2006_05_18(2).pdf
I'd like to create a formula for Column A which will give me the first 2 blocks of text which are seperated by a space (in the examples above it would be "Anab AM1" and "CD 01_02") Anything after the second space should be ommited (including the 2nd space itself)
I'd also like column B to find the date within the filename. Note this is not always the rightmost part of the filename (excluding the .pdf) I've worked out I can use the Find function to find the '2006' (I'll always have the same year in here as my folder listings are sorted by year) but it returns the character where 2006 is located e.g. for "Anab AM1 2006-02-27.pdf" it gives me 10.
My date formats are always in the form yyyy-(or_)mm-(or_)dd

When I write out ranges in cells like:
1-10
10-20

I have been searching the boards long and hard for this solution and have yet to find that applies fully. Every day I need to search through 20 worksheets for transactions occurring on a specific date and copy the row onto a new worksheet. I would like to run a macro that would allow me to search for a specific transaction date in column C of each worksheet and if the date matches it will copy the entire row to a new worksheet.
The issue I am having is that the transaction lists are a running sum of all the transactions for each account. Therefore, the range that the macro needs to search will change daily as well. Furthermore, the date that I would be searching for could potentially appear in column A or B but I only want the row if the date matches that of column C. Also, on some sheets there may not be a transaction at all.
I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.
I have put together a simple example of my problem. There is two buttons and one text-box "TextBox 1". When I use the following code:
[Code] .........
I get one button to hide the textbox and the other to show it. Initially the textbox has the textbox properties (you can type in it) but when I hide it and show it again using the two buttons the textbox becomes like a rectangle shape which I can not type in and can only click.
How do I hide and show the text box whilst keeping it as a text box?

I have a workbook with two worksheets. I added a formula to the first worksheet
= COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K"). It works fine when I add another COUNTIF that references another column (baseball fans may realize I'm counting total strikeouts for a batter): =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K") However, when I try to expand this to cover more columns, =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!P3,"K")
Excel automatically changes the format of this cell to "Text" and it shows the formula as text instead of calculating it. What could be wrong here? Excel's documentation is woefully inadequate for cases like this. Is there an undocumented limit on how many times I can add COUNTIFs together?
A little context:
Searching this forum for "sleep", "delay" or "animation" will bring up a host of threads referring to the kernel32 function, sleep. This is a great way of putting small delays into code without the potential "synchronisation" problems of application .ontime calls or the "ugliness" of multiple-thousands looping.
My question:
When I call sleep (with values in the hundreds of milliseconds) several times in a macro, it seems like the computer just "gives up" screen updating after a few (maybe 50) iterations. The macro still takes the time I'd expect, accounting for all the sleeps, but it stops showing the intermediate steps and just shows the end result after the macro ends.
Is this something to do with RAM? Is there something about calling this command too much or too frequently that kernel32 doesn't like? Is my computer a useless bag of nails and spit?
In a column in my spreadsheet i have to input a number; either: 51-61 and next to it is either m or o. so in Column A row 1 : 51m, Column A row 2 60m, etc Example:
51m
51o
55o
60m
I want to conditionally format this such that for 51 it turns the cell background green, for 52 red, 53 orange,etc. with a number having a specific color associated with it. 03' does not have a text choice.
i have the volume of a reservoir in column A for lets say, 2 years, with monthly data (so 24 numbers in my list)
I also have some variables that feed into this list such as rainfall (fixed), and population (i.e water use, which i can manually change)
if i increase the population too much, the volume of the reservoir will at certain times of the year, fall into negative digits.
what i'm looking for, is a cell which works out the maximum value (in whole numbers) for my population, without any of the numbers in the reservoir volume list falling below zero.
breeze.
Here is my situation:
X Y Z
Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep
A
B
C
The above format is how I want my spreadsheet to look like. On another sheet within the workbook, I have a chart with some control options that allow me to vary X, Y, Z (I can vary either of these individually). Anytime I vary any one of X,Y,or Z, then the values in A,B,and C all change. This is what I am looking for, a Macro that will allow me the opportunity to everytime I change or vary an option (X,Y,Z), I can hit "Save Scenario" and the new values will be appended to my "Report" sheet. The values of A-C and X and Y are kept on a sheet entitled "FY 07". X is maintained on a sheet called "Inputs". So in all, X,Y, Z and A,B,C are all copied for each scenario.
When using the autofilter, the drop-down arrow turns blue in color, i.e., when some filter citerion is being used, the small down-arrow turns a different color as a way of informing the user that a filter is in place. Is there a way to control the color of this? Currently, mine turns blue, but it would be more useful if I could change it to a brilliant color in order to make it contrast more with the default black. Blue is too difficult to be distinguished by my eyes. The autofilter is turned on via a macro. If there a line of code that controls the color.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with a database of 15 different products. We receive information with current prices for each of the 15 products on a weekly basis. This info comes in one single worksheet. I have created a different file with one worksheet for each product to track price behavior over time. I need to update these database everytime I get a new report. What I was trying to do is to develop a Macro to copy the data from a "Master" worksheet that includes all 15 products info to the respective worksheet for each product. Information is sorted in columns having the most recent date in the lowest column. I would need the Macro to copy the new data below the last price for each product. I would copy the data into the "MAster" worksheet, then run the Macro who would copy each row and paste it in its respective worksheet in the row rightafter the previous one.

when i use this code i wnat the date to automatically appear in the text box but it doesn't I have type something into the textbox then the current date appears,.
I have a sheet(Sample.xlsx) in which weekly data is collected and this is done by using the VBA code(Present in Copy 1 and Copy 2 button in Master US.xlsm) written by me. But in my code, it inserts a new after asking two parameters, i.e. line range(i.e. row no for eg A64) and date. I want it to automatically search row containing last date and inserts row below it and this needs to be implemented in "Insert Automatically" and "Insert Date" button using VBA code in Master US.xlsm sheet.I dont have problem with second paramenter.
Logic i want to use :
Itergation of whole page
{
If (col A<>Date)&& col A=Average(i.e. contains average word)
then
inserts row above that row
And then ask for date to enter using date variable.
then inserts row above that row containing last week data in col A.
}
"Insert Automatically" in Master US.xlsm sheet is the button which takes system date and implements the above logic.
"Insert Date" in Master US.xlsm sheet is the button which ask for only date and implements the above logic.

I am copying some data from one workbook and pasting the data into another workbook depending on certain criteria (using autofilter) using excel VBA. For only One column i need to multiply data by 100 (i.e. convert it into percentage) For example column A in source worksheet has all values and i will paste it in column D of target worksheet. But before pasting i need to multiply the data by 100 so column D in target worksheet has values in %.

I work in a correctional centre. Some of the correctional officers have
little training to use Excel or other programs, but are required to complete
spreadsheets on line. Although we have heavily protected the worksheets and
locked cells, we find that in some cases the staff can still mess up the
worksheets by copying and pasting data inappropriately.
Is there a way to turn off the ability to paste data into the worksheet, and
to force each field to be completed manually? This would eliminate the
problem.
