I want to save phone no as +99 9876543210 in excel 2003 on my xp pro machine. But if i give a + sign in the cell, some blue dotted rectangle shows up and everything messes up.. I think it is treating it as a formula or something... how can i save this in the cell. tell me in detail if you are going to tell me about macros or vb code as I don't know how to insert code or program macros.
View 3 RepliesI have attached here an excel sheet with some data. I need to show the minus value in D5 as a plus sign, is there any conditional formula to work this out??
View 4 Replies View Relatedi want to know how to prefix a minus sign (-) before numbers in cells in a large range.i m working on a large sheet containing the Numbers with Cr and Dr as suffixes just like 445Dr ... 3331Cr and so..on... in the worksheet
i want to know the method of deleting the suffixes and prefixing - sign infront of numbers having Cr as the suffix.
Numbers with Dr as suffix denote positive numbers
and numbers with Cr suffix denote negative numbers. i want to prefix the -minus sign in front of numbers having Cr in the end.
I have a column of numbers which have the - sign at the back end of the number instead of the front. What would be the easiest way to turn that into a negative number without manually keying each one?

I have a variable that is define as Double called STD. When i try to insert that variable in a formula the decimal sign (for me a comma "," because I'm Portuguese) gets converted to ";" (which is for me the separation sign for the expressions in excel formulas. ex: AND(A1>0;B1>0)=TRUE). The code is:
My boss uses the + symbol and the = symbol in his formulas eg "=+E3*E4" What is the advantage or difference in this as to just using "=E3*E4"

=+((1+B8)^12)-1. I orginally assumed that it made sure that result the would always be positive but I was wrong.
In column A, I have many entries such as AA-1, AA-2, BB-1, BB-2, AA-3, etc.
How do you count the number of entries for only those beginning with "AA" or beginning with "BB"?
I am being passed a series of positive and negative numbers in a column - the only problem is that the negative numbers have the - at the end of the series i.e.1234-.Is there someway I can change this with a macro so they read -1234.

This macro starts at which ever sheet I am on and goes from front to end say 1 to 16.....my question is how do reverse the code to go to the next unhidden sheet from 16 to 1 ?
I have a column with data and I want to add, in each row, the following:
at the beginning of row:{color=blue}
and right at the end of the row: {/color}

I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.
As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?

I am trying to create a list of customer credits for my store. I have the person's name, the date of their credit, and the amount of the credit. This list will eventually be substantial and I would like to know how I can set it up so that when I open the worksheet I can enter new names from the top of the list and have the rest of the list shift downwards. This would stop me from having to scroll to the very bottom to add new info every time.
I would like to have it set up this way so that eventually I could put a search query at the top of the page (i'm thinking of rigging something up using vlookup) so that when my employees want to access the data base they can easily search a name and have the relevant info brought up, or can easily type in new store credits.
I have a simple code that should insert the text at the beginning of the text file (the text file already has some text in it). When i use the following code, it just appends the line to the end of the text. I need it to append it to the start of the text file.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim file As String
lastrow = Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row - 4
file = "C:Users11126923Desktop est.txt"
Open file For Append As #1
f = "hi test3"
Print #1, f
Close
End Sub
In VBA, does anyone know how I can find the beginning and end of a named range?
eg: Range "CellsToTotal" is A1:A10, if I know only the name of the range, can I retrieve both A1 and A10 values?
What I have done is named a range on the fly as so (where vStartCellCoordinates and vEndCellCoordinates are both variables holding 2 ints):
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="CellsToTotal", RefersTo:="=" & Cells(vStartCellCoordinates(1), vEndCellCoordinates(2)).Address
What i'd like to do is then set a third arbitrary cell to sum up the range as a formula (note the following is a wierd adapted pseudocode thing):
Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = "=sum(" & start(Range("CellsToTotal").Address(0, 0) & ":" & end(Range("CellsToTotal").Address(0, 0) & ")"
How can I make this work?
Is there a snatch of macro that can assign two variables with the date for the beginning and ending date of the current week?
I need
A= 4-19-2009 12:00AM
and
B=4-25-2009 11:59 PM
Based on the current week being week 16, with the variables changing as the weeks progress.
I need to make the active cell go to the beginning of the row (Column A). I tried setting up a variable to be the row.value, but that didn't work (the way I wrote it, which doesn't surprise me).

When I run the following code, if "If exists = True" then I want the routine to start again at the very beginning. Currently, 'as is' it re-starts at the beginning but enters a loop on itself; I understand why this is but it's not what I want but can't get round this! How do I make the "If exists = True" condition (if true) restart the routine - ie call AllNEWActions() without then going into a loop on itself? NB: I can't use "Exit Sub" (see it commented out) as I don't want to exit routine, just restart it.
Sub AllNEWActions()
ShowCalendar
GetDateFromCalendar
SheetAlreadyExists
If exists = True Then
boolRestart = True
AllNEWActions
' Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox (" Date selected/new sheet doesn't exist")
InsertNewSheet
End If
If boolRestart = False Then
ShowCalendar
GetDateFromCalendar
End If
MsgBox ("Do something ...)
End Sub
Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:
[Code].....
For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:
[Code] .....
This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.
More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:
[Code] ....
I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.
I'm compiling several old worksheets into a single database for a research study. The worksheets contain patient data. Some of the worksheets have the patient's last name, first name, and middle initial entered all in one cell like this: Smith,John R. Compounding the problem is the fact that sometimes the name is entered with a space between the comma and the first name, sometimes not.
I have formulas to break the name out into three separate columns "lName, "fName", "midInit". However, if the name in the original cell has a space between the coma and the first name, then the “fname” column will contain a blank space in front of the name. This is problem because patients names can appear in the database more than once. Some patients are in the database several times.
If patient “John R. Smith”, for example, is entered in the database as”
“Smith” “John” “R “
and also as
“Smith” “<space>John” “R”
then the database won’t recognize them as the same name when I search for John Smith’s data. Right?
If so, then I need a way to eliminate the empty spaces in front of the first names. Like I said, some have empty spaces and some don’t. I could do this by hand, but there are over 1000 entries in these worksheets.
I need to add zeros to the beginning of string of numbers in column A (given below), for e.g., 000029, 002562, 015096:

I have many excel wordlist, which are being converted from other file formats. Now there are sometimes useless spaces before entries in the cells. There are also some times commas and other not needed signs at the beginning of a cell in a column.
I need a macro, which removes spaces, symbols, letters, numbers or combination of them from the beginning of all cells in a column. The symbols should be chosen before the macro starts its work.
For example:
Before running the first macro:
Column A
,Word1
,,Word2
Word3
,Word4
After running the macro the beginning should be cleaned from chosen symbols, spaces or signes. (in our example if a cell begins with , then the commas should be deleted).
Column A
Word1
Word2
Word3
Word4
In any cell of a worksheet, the user can input a number followed by either a plus or minus sign. After the - or + key is pressed, the cell has to move the plus or minus to the front of the number, then move down one cell. So input in cell A2 would be 125+, that needs converted to +125 and then moved down to cell A3.
