Phantom Decimal Points
Sep 29, 2009
I've tried to look for a solution on the forum, but nothing seems to come up. I've attached a file to help show what I'm trying to resolve.
Column A of the file shows an amount, when summed, give a total of -3.5725E-09.
Each of the figures in column A only has 2 decimal points and if I manually total up the numbers on a calculator it give me zero.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the -3.5725E-09 without another formula? I need the balance to be zero.

I have a few cells that contain decimals that do not appear as decimals. If the number is 50.1, it only shows up as 50 in the cell. I've tried formatting it to a number with 2 decimal places and to scientific and when I do that the number displays as ##. When I do general formatting it only appears as 50.
I used a formula to pull the number into a different cell, however, and in that cell it shows up as 50.1.
Is there anything I can do to make it show up as 50.1 in the original cell?

I am in need of a macro which would be capable of doing the following;
Replacing a sequence of number's & decimals such as 58.6073.1 with 58607310000
Essentially, the code will just need to remove the two decimal points & to suffix those 4 zeros onto the end of the number sequence.

I beleive it is because the formulas are not rounding the figures to the nearest 2 decimal points. so some costs are 1 or 2 pence out. OK on a small qty not so good on a large qty.
I dont know how to do this as the roundup function only rounds up i need it to round to the neareast 2 decimal points. Also dont know how to integrate it into existing formulas and macros

Is there some kind of function that will remove decimal points from a number? What I'm looking for is:
1231.5 = 12315
123.15 = 12315
12.315 = 12315
1.2315 = 12315

I've read various "solutions" to my request but it's Greek to me. Simply stated I occasionally have to create worksheets that involve dollars and cents. My question is how can I get Excel to stop dropping the zero if its the last digit to the right of the decimal point? $42.30 becomes $42.3, etc.
I've looked through the preferences/options and can find nothing to rectify this. Any way to do this so that keeping the zero becomes the default for any tables, lists, etc that I create in the future?

I have tried, through control panel - region settings etc, to change the default number of decimals to 0. I often use the Number format using the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + 1 but then have to reduce the 2 decimals down.
I have recorded a macro to apply this kind of formatting but the disadvantage of this is that I cannot undo any actions before that point - which has gotten me into some trouble on a few occasions .
Is there a macro that I can use that adjusts the "Normal" cell style number format from General to Number (with thousand separator but 0 decimals) each time I open a new book? As merging cell styles is also quite a mundane task..

I've got a wierd simple problem in Excel 2003. I have a laptop and a desktop machine, and I'm an accountant who uses the fixed decimal feature as a default, with it set to 2 decimal places.
On the desktop machine, if I input "23." into a cell and then hit enter, the value left in the cell is "23.00" However, on the laptop, when I do the same thing, I get "0.23" In essence, it ignores the fact that I entered a decimal point.
If I enter "23.0" in a sheet on the laptop, it puts "23.00" in the cell.
I thought maybe it was some sort of hardware thing, like the KB was messed up, but then I used remote desktop to try to see what would happen if I enter numbers into the other computer using the laptop, and into the laptop using the desktop. The laptop when connected to the desktop performed normally, just like the desktop machine. The desktop, when connected remotely to the laptop behved like the laptop machine. In other words, I believe this test takes Hardware out of the picture.
Which leaves some strange obsure setting in excel someplace tht is causing this behavior, and I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone here know why these two installs treat the data entry so differently? It's driving me nuts.

This is my formula with concatenation: =K3/K1*100 & "c" & " Each"
This is the result of the values in K3 divided by K1: 6.41666666666667c Each
I would like to limit the decimal places to two: 6.41c Each.
I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.
If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.

I have tried to locate this link by highlighting all sheets and using the find command and using part of the file string however it is not finding anything. I tried this with a link that I know should be there and it takes me right to the sheet/cell its located in...

I remoted most of my number crunching stuff to a dll.
It work fine except for a few strange things that I observed like from time to time a strange message "Error in loading DLL" even though everything works fine. This message appears only when entering the main formula in the formula, and is no problem at all in usual work.
When I investigated, I noticed in the "windows task manager" that one instance of excel remains open even after I have closed excel. This phantom excel process is maybe related to the other problem I explained above.
Instead of calling a VBA function, it creates a VB6 object from this dll and uses the methods of this object. In this way I have remoted the number crunching functionality.
The main parameter passe in this process is a reference to the original workbook. I need it because the number crunching functions need to read data from the workbook.
I made it sure to terminate the life of the object properly on both sides by ad hoc obj=Nothing statements.
Still I think that the "garbage collection" or the "terminating" is the cause of the problem.

When copying sheets within a spreadsheet I receive numerous examples of the attached error message: when I search for the named range referred to in the source sheet it doesn't exist - I can only assume that it is a variable name that has been assigned somehow - but as far as I can tell, there aren't any macros associated with the spreadsheets in question that are generating the names that are displayed .. so unsure how the names are appearing. how to remove these phantom names so the prompt stops appearing?
NB: If I answer "No" to the prompt I must enter a different name - and if I do that, the system creates the new name in the copied sheet so if I then copy the copy on to another sheet the number of "named" ranges includes both the original "phantom names" AND the additional "phantom names" I've created as part of this process.

I have an excel report containing eight or so worksheets. A user can make a number of selections with the report to change its context. E.g. to analyse different types of customers; high spend or low spend etc. Sales projections are then presented with several Excel Charts adapting to the user's preferences.
My problem occurs when the user makes a selection (they choose a ComboBox option.) This then triggers my code, which creates the data tables and graphs depending on their selection. The report is quite long so I have created two points in the same worksheet where the user can change the same customer selection option. (Basically, all I have done is create a second ComboBox which triggers the first). Again, this works perfectly causing no errors (other than the display error belowc)
However, when I change the second instance of the ComboBox a phantom copy of my chart is dumped on the current screen view. If I scroll off screen and then back again the phantom chart disappears. I need a quick solution to fix this bug until I have some more time to look at what's causing it. Therefore I simply want to add a line of code, which will scroll off screen and then return back to the same position. (Not very neat, but at least it will get rid of my duplicate chart). As I have screen updating turned off the user won't notice what is happening.

I have a dynamic chart that allows the user to select the starting and ending dates for the data range by using a scroll bar.
The dates in the data table are input daily and are generally in sequential order, however there are gaps between dates (eg. 1/4/08, 1/7/08), such as would occur over a weekend or holiday period. The dates are used as labels for the X-axis.
The problem is the chart interpolates the dates in the "gap" and includes them on the X-axis and plots them as zero values.
I would like for the chart to display only the dates and values actually in the dataset and not interpolate and include dates/assign zero values.
Haven't had any success in searching the forum. Can this interpolation be prevented?

I have a vba macro that takes data from one workbook and pastes it into another workbook. In doing this I have declared a few variables of type single (I only need two decimal precision). However, when I copy the values from the cells on the source workbook and paste them into the target workbook, the numbers end up having 12 decimal places. Ultimately, this extra precision causes my totals to be off by .01 or more after a while. I have tried rounding the number as I pull it off the source workbook into the variable, but that didn't matter. How do I solve this problem? Code for pulling data from source workbook:...

Basically, I want to format a group of cells to display 1 decimal figure if the number is not a whole number. If the number is a whole number (or if the rounded first decimal place is 0) I want it to display no decimal.

I need to convert a column of numbers currently formatted with 2 decimal places e.g. 112.12 to 4 decimal places (without the decimal point). I need the end result to be 1121200. I've tried a few different suggestions given on the forum previously but can't seem to retain the 4 decimal places that I require.

I have to make a excel document in which I have length and width in feet and inch format.
E.g. 10.01 in which 10 is feet and .01 is inch
I have all the length and width values in the above format. And what I want to do is convert the inch value (10.01) to feet value (.01=.08 feet) .
Just like the calculator here does.. [URL] ........
Like
10.01=10.08
10.02=10.16
10..03=10.25
...and so on...
Here is table of conversions from inches to decimal feet. But I don't know how to get a formula for this in excel...????
Inch Decimal of a Foot
1 inch 0.0833
2 inches 0.167
3 inches 0.250
4 inches 0.333
5 inches 0.417
6 inches 0.500
7 inches 0.583
8 inches 0.667
9 inches 0.750

I am trying to create a unique sample code by putting together the values of other cells that a user will input. It's all working well apart from the last part, where I am trying to include a decimal number. I want the decimal number to appear without the central "." and in a four digit format. e.g. 2.5 would appear as 0250, 14.25 would appear as 1425. This is the formlua I am using currently:
=IF(ISBLANK(B4),"",IF(LEFT(C4,1)="w",(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&TEXT(G4,"HHMM")),(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&LEFT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2)&RIGHT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2))))
However, where the value of H4 is 2.5, I am getting a result of 0303 (I've put this part in bold). I have attached a small spreadsheet to aid understanding.

I need a formula to take a number with several decimal places and round it up to two decimal places to either .33, .66 or, .00 if its above .66.
For example, 4.23423423423423 will be 4.33
4.43453453533434 will be 4.66
4.8353453453 will be 5.00
Lets say the number is in cell A1. What formula would do this?

Currently I'm working on a prediction game using excel. Can excel do the tabulation itself(Points awarded) if I just key in the result? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Examples below,
Result 3-1
Name Predicted Scored Points
Alex 3-1 5
Brian 4-1 4
Charlie 2-0 3
Derrick 3-3 1
Eric 0-2 0
Point System:
1 point for correct goals/no goal by either both teams
3 points for correct result ( Win, Lose, or Draw - say result is 3-1, 3 points if you predicted a Chelsea 2-0 win)
5 points for correct match results
No points for incorrect score and results.

I have two columns where TREND does not work well. I want to calculate the TREND value of Column 2 (PERCENTILE RANK) based on a new RAW number. If I TREND between just the two rows, the value is fine (i.e. If I TREND between 105 and 110 RAW, I get the right PERCENTILE RANK if the new X value is 106 (which is 15.3% PERCENTILE RANK). How can I make a formula that will only look at the two rows and TREND just those two rows to give me the right PERCENTILE RANK.
RAW PERCENTILE RANK
10514
11020.4
11121.8
11729.5
11833
12342.5
12444.5
12954.4...........

I am doing a golf predictor where I am using all 3 sheets in a spredsheet.
In sheet 1 I have the teams of players my friends have picked.
Sheet 2 I have the prgressive scores for each team done on a weekly basis.
Sheet 3 I have the names of 56 golfers and the points each can win for finishing anywhere between 1st and 22nd in a competition.
What I would like to know is there anyway I can replace the values 1st to 22nd with points (i.e., 1st = 400 2nd = 340 3rd =310 and so on down to 22nd) also is there a way I can transfer values between sheets.

im doing a excell sheet for a fantasy league that i ahve created. I have a "total" cell to combine the total points for each player. I then used the "rank" formula to rank the highest points to that player. My question is...can i show like how many points behind everyone else is from who ever the "rank 1" is in?
Not sure if you can do 2 formuals in same cell or not. maybe i could have rank and how many points are behind in same cell
Example. lets say
Player points rank
Tim 5000 1
Jimmy 4000 2 -1000
Sara 3500 3 -1500

This may sound like a dumb question, but hang with me. I have two series in an xy plot. One is a line (withOUT markers) and one series is just markers (no line).
The line without markers is created in a way such that it forms a box and whiskers plot. The other series, are trial values that go into the box and whiskers.
I have desperately tried to get the second series (just points) to plot BEHIND the first series (line, no markers). Changing the series order does not work unless both series have lines. I have tried this in a variety of ways (including writing a macro which draws the markers first, and then the lines), but that doesn't work either!
