I have received an excel spreadsheet that only has 23 columns. The sheet is not protected, the columns are not hidden, the columns are not shrunk to .01 millimetres, the columns are quite simply not there. How is this possible to do? Columns displayed are a through to W. If I delete a column the columns display only a through to v.
View 7 RepliesI have some text that I am having to analyze which comes out of our computer looking like this:
N/0/N/Y/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N
I use the text to columns function and headers above it to translate what each field is.
As I'm doing my testing if I do this once, I can keep the file open and any time I paste a similar entry in it takes care of the formatting.
But, is there way to make the file do that permanently? I want to let the other testers use it without making them have to go through the steps of clicking on the delimiter, etc.
I've been using the function =vlookup(...) to fill up the cells in my spreadsheet. However, a problem I've come across is that vlookup does not make the values in the cell permanent and keeps drawing whatever value is found in the corresponding cells it searches. Thus if the file it draws it's info from goes missing or is edited, my data also changes accordingly. Therefore I would like to ask if there was a way in which I can make the data permanent in my spreadsheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have downloded several versions of the VBA calendar posted either here on or on "hey that's cool" forum (i.e Phil's calendar, Barry's calendar etc, ect), however I could not find the answer for making the calendar stay on the spreadsheet permanently without any triger to initilise the user form.
What I am trying to do is to have an embeded calendar in my worksheet where user can choose different dates and link this to a pivot table date field, so when the date changes pivot table output changes. I managed to do that with excel calendar control tool, however not everybody has the OCX file on their computer.
I have a table that contains +/- 12,000 (A6:R12266) rows and I use several conditional formatting rules to highlight rows where the data changes from the row above in a sorted column for the visual easy of users. The conditional formatting works great however the data is the spreadsheet is constantly being modified and that is where I run into the problem. Whenever a row is inserted or deleted my rule is divided into multiple rules which is tedius to manage and also causes the formatting to appear incorrectly in some cases. I have the table defined as a named table in the name manager and I use that name for the range in the "Applies to" in conditional formatting, but as soon as I choose apply the name is converted to the current range which becomes several seprate rules and ranges as soon as the table is modified.
Formula to define which rows are highlighted
=$F5<>$F6
Range data applis to after chosing the tables name and clicking apply
=$A$6:$R$12266
I am trying to use Excel to document fiber optic cables that run between different locations. Each cable has 2 ends, but whatever service is connected to one end, will also be a the other. I would like to use an Excel worksheet to represent a termination point (a "light shelf" comprised of several fiber optic cables each made up of several strands of fiber (kind of a table with the 1st 4 columns of 6 rows being cable A, and the next 8 cable B)). I would like to be able to type in the value for cable A Strand 1 and have it linked to another worksheet representing a different location (the other end) and vice versa. I have tried to paste a link, but that seems to get broken. Is there a better way to make permanent links (Excel is bawking about a circular reference, which it is as each end needs to be linked back to the other.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a cell that has a result which is the average of a few other cells (In this case the result is in cell Y7). I now want to take that total and put it in another cell to represent todays result..I.E. I have a list of this months dates and I want the todays result to be populated in the table. So I have a list of dates and the cell next to each date has the formula:
=IF(TODAY()=A24,$Y$7,"").
It populates todays result fine however the next day it blanks the result (since the cell is no longer todays date).
SO the question: How to I have todays result oerwite the formula so the result is permanent in that cell. I guess I am looking for some sort of PUT command to take the result and PUT it in another cell without that cell being a formula itself to GET the date.
I extract text into a new column using =Left(). I want to make that column permanent. That is, I want to delete the source column but keep me extracted column. How?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do i make a formatting rule permanent to certain cell's.
The steps i followed:
I selected the columns and rows to be formatted. in conditional formatting I selected new rule. then selected the second function, "format only cells that contain" in format only cells with: specific Text , then " ending with" Over Issues.
in format i selected the font and fill.
I saved and close the document, after reopening the rule is no longer working.
Could someone tell me is there a way to hardcode header or footer info into Excel so that it would appear with every document?

I have backwards co-workers that can't figure out how/why to use conditional formatting and have deigned it "not acceptable".
They've requested I fill in a HUGE spreadsheet and change the font color to red if it meets a criteria.
Simple enough to do with a conditional format that compares my data.
HOWEVER, now I need the individual cells to stay red and remove the conditional format (because conditional formatting "confuses" them). Removing the condition causes the color to go back to black. I've tried all sorts of paste specials (formula/format) to no avail...
I'm using excel 2000 and I just noticed something and am unsure how to change. I guess early on my building of a workbook I accidentally left calculation to manual. I would like to change calculations to automatic on permanent basis. I keep changing it and it changes back to manual after I close then reopen the workbook. I would prefer to change permanently to automatic....Any ideas would be a bonus. On all new workbooks I can save in automatic but I cannot change from manual to automatic.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to put a permanent date & time stamp in cell A1 (date) and cell A2 (Time) when cell A3 is populated by any character which would be an inputters initials.
I'm thinking that it will be an "IF" statement but then I am getting confused about how I make it not update when the spreadsheet is opened at a later date and time.
I need it to be like:
=B10 2014
(So the first part changes depending on what B10 is but the 2014 always stays)?
I have cells where the formual is this: =D17/SUM(D17:E17). The result is always going to be a three-digit decimal, less than 1. .546 .345 .678 etc. Excel, of course, places a zero in the front: 0.546 0.345 etc. Is there a way to remove this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have about 80K (80 thousands) entries.Each entry starts with #000. I want to remove "#" sign and zeros as well.I had used "LEFT " function but problem is that some numbers have 3 zeros in the start and some have have 4 or 2 or one zero. I tried to do it manually but it proved a gigantic task and been unable to complete it.
The few examples of entries are as under.

Assume cell A1 contains a set of words. If cell B1 contained the following formula, the contents of cell A1 will be shown in B1, minus the last word.
=If(ISNUMBER( FIND(" ",A1)),LEFT(A1, LOOKUP(32768,FIND(" ",A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))))),A1)
However, the space or gap before the word that has been removed will be present in cell B1.
eg. If A1 = "how are you", then B1 will = "how are ".
I need this space to be removed too.
ie. B1 = "how are"
I got three columns in excel. Column A is a list of items, so is column C. Column B displays the similarity in the 2 lists.
I use the following command =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$265,0)),"",A1).
SO:
A B C
Cat Fish
Dog Dog Roll
Bull Carpet
Apple Dog
But what I want to do is the following:
If I have "D-og 12 2-3" in column A and say "do g 1 22/3" in column C, I want it to be displayed in column B. To do that I need to decapitalise and remove all the special symbols such as space, ), (, *, &, ^, %, $, #, @,! etc.
So I get dog1223 in column B since they are the same.

I have a spreadsheet that contains certain formulas based on constants stored in another sheet. I have created this formula now which goes like this
=IF(C3=Staff_Profile!$C$5,IF(Staff_Profile!$C$2="Expat",2000," "))
The above formula work on two conditions :
1) the staff has joined in a particular month
AND
2) the staff profile is "Expat"
If both conditions are satisfied then the formula applies 2000 $ recruitment charges , else it is 0 (zero)
While it returns 2000 as true value where it is required, for rest of the cells it returns value "FALSE", which I dont want to see. I need to see 0 (ZERO). I am confused , as to how this can be achieved.
I have some password protected excel worksheets that required editing as they are from earlier versions, an earlier time and all need to be updated. This would be fine if it was myself who actually made the worksheets, but the person who did retired a couple of years ago and has dropped off the map (no contact details etc).
I know how to remove passwords, when I was the one who set them. The big problem here is, they are all macro enabled and for some reason the free down load password removal applications do not unlock worksheets that are macro enabled.
Just wondering if any one can help me come up with some code to remove some lap time in my document ....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm creating some workbooks from PDF files. After converting, some of the
values in column A get placed into column B along w/it's values. Column A should have only a 6 digit number. Column B may have a combination of numbers and letters, but more use of letters.
I'm trying to create a formula for that will remove the 6 digit number at the front of my text values if it is present in column b. If it is not, than the column should remain the same. Is there a way to say remove first six values
from left if values are numbers? The results should out put to sheet 2.
I've got a column with numbers. some of the numbers have the following signs/symbols proceeding the value in the same cell: ',ft,#,ea,each. I want to have these removed by a formula so that the numerical values are alone.
