I am importing a list of values from a text file. Some of the values have the letter "E" embedded in the string. For example one of the imported values is "29875E100". Excel is automatically converting this into scentific notation. Is there a way to avoid this?
View 2 RepliesI have to use data copied as text from a webpage. Some numbers stay with spaces so are recognized as text I think i.e. 3500 will be "3 500".
I think there was a formula to convert that into number or any other way ? Couldn't find it on the forum so far :/
Here's the data set I am working with.
I get a dump that is in the form xxxx gbps or xxxx mbps (gigabits and megabits). I'd like to either use a formula or VBA code to convert this to mbps in another column.
I have in column A the frequency in weeks which I need an inspection to be done.
I have in Column B the last week in which the inspection was done.
I want to produce in column C the next week required to perform inspection.
So lets say:
A B C
26 28 54
If I add the 2 columns I get week 54. Is there any way I can convert that to read week 2?
I am trying to convert a number which uses T to signify Thousand, and M for Million.
How would I program excel (or a VB Macro) to recognize and convert those letters to 0's?
I am creating a review sheet/skill matrix using excel and need to be able to convert a particular selection to a number in the adjacent cell to work out the users efficiency (long story that i wont bore you with)
So basically i have a question/statement in cell A and a drop down answer menu in cell B containing up to 5 possible answers (very poor, poor, ok, good, very good). In cell C i would like to insert a formula that allocates a number dependant on the selection in cell B. So if the user selects very poor in cell B cell C states 1, if cell B has poor selected then cell C states 2 etc etc
I am currently trying to find an easy way to convert cell references to number format. The issue I'm having is when compiling a small formula (CONCATENATE) as part of a macro in order to produce a unique reference number to a column of data (1000's of cells long) I come accross the age old number stored as text issue after the macro has converted the formula to values.
Have tried editing the macro to number stored as text = false which removes the annoying little red triangle but the vlookup functions still wont read the values. My current solution is to highlight the entirity of the data and convert to number which takes a long long time as there are multiple lookups assigned to the cells, which for my current project is not acceptable.
Am looking for a quick solution, (with no interaction required) something that would convert the cells to the format required either before the formula is assigned and overwritten by values or just after. Currently I'm stumped.
I have a time as 0:20 in one cell. I want to covert that to the number 20 in another cell. Is this possible to to and can I get an example of how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a formula which extracts a number from a text string.
The text string is in A2 - the formula which extracts the number is in B2
However - when I copy the data in B2 and paste values to another sheet / cell - the forumla is as text - and I get the little green corner symbol and I have to convert to number.
Some VBA code - that will automatically convert my extracted "number" - to an actual number in number format.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet to keep track of an online racing league that I'm in. I have created columns for the racers, and rows for the races. What I would like to do is type in 1st, and it represent the number 13 for when I do an autosum at the bottom of that column. It would be easier for me to type in the position place, instead of the points value. The position place will always carry the name numeric value. Here is what I have so far:

I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.

I am trying to compile data from several different managers within my company. They all have similar workbooks, and have been entering time in a number format. Currently they have values that look like this:

So, in any instance the period or decimal point should be a colon and the format of the cells should be in [m]:ss.
I want to be able to select a range within the workbook and run a macro that will convert the numbers into the "[m]:ss format.
I have a column of numbers that are currently text, but they actually represent a date.
I had a column of dates, but needed to convert them into a "week number", so used this formula: =INT((A2-1)/7)
It produced a week number for each date, and produced results like 5594, 5595, etc.
I now need to "reverse" this, and take these numbers (5594, 5595...) and convert them back to actual dates.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to convert some text to a number. I was wondering if there is a way to do it in Excel. Like, for example, the date 3/14/2006 can be converted to 38790. Is there any function in Excel that can convert a word to a number?
Example would be (numbers are totally random)
md_bla_bla_02 would convert to something like 3452615261502
I have text amount in L55 column. The amount is auto summed amount. Example, $ 5081.16
Now in C59 column (total FOB) I have to write the amount in text manually. Any formula to make the amount converted in text automatically??? I badly need this. Attaching image.
THE Format of text amount has to be like below.
ex: FIVE THOUSAND EIGHTY ONE AND SIXTEEN CENTS ONLY.
It has to be caps locked, there will be and between cents and main amount, there wil be cents after that. Attaching image.

I am pulling out information from a cell using =RIGHT(C2,4). It gives me 6-2 in the cell, which is what I want. Now I want to sum the cell but how to do it. I have tried converting it but it doesn't work, I tried pulling out each digit, but that didn't work.
Ideally, I would like a formula that could convert cell A1 into a result in one cell.

I have an excel file that is used to create a large text file. This is all done manually so I wrote some code to create the file automatically. I have everything working except that I am losing some info. The info is zeros after the decimal point. Almost all of the cells are formatted as numbers with 3 decimal places. It is common to have values of 0.000 that end up just 0 when they are written to the text file. Is there a way to keep the formatting (all decimal places)? Here is an example of code that I am using to write data directly from a cell to the file.
View 2 Replies View Relatedfield A1 & B1 are variable user input. The goal is to subtract B1 from A1, take the result and divide it by 176 (a fixed number) and display the result as minutes:sec.
For example:
A1 B1
14,000 (minus) 2,200 (= 11,800 /176 =) 67
I want to result (67) to display in field C1 as 01:07 (min:sec)
I tried (A1-B1)/176 and formatted C1 to be min:sec but the result displays as 5:27 I have no idea what that number represents.
I am using following formulae to convert 16 digit number to with validation that number is not exceeding 16 digits and should always start with "1" else it should give Error with 11 blank spaces
(IF(LEN(L2)+LEFT(L2)=17,TEXT(L2,"0000000000000000"),"ERROR"&REPT(" ",11))))
but when I input any number which has a value other than zero e.g. 1009510010000059 its returning result as 1009510010000050 I need validation also in the same formulae
I need to use a vlookup, however that's not my query. In order to allow the vlookup to work, I need the reference number field in a different format. I thought I'd add a column next to it for the converted number. The number is presently in the format 99/99999, I need the number to be in the format 99999/99. What formula or function will allow me to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which has over 30,000 records. One column is a row of numbers stored in a General format. Some of these numbers are however stored as Text and have the following Error Check:
"The number in this cell is stored as Text or preceded by an apostrophe"
As a result, when I try to import this sheet into Access, the numbers are not imported and appear as blank cells in the Table.
Is there a way either manually or programatically, format the column so all cells in that column are stored as a number and do not have the issue of being stored as text?

Looking for a formula to convert time (00:00:00 AM) to a general 4 digit number (0000). Example 08:30:00 AM ---> 0830. Tried using format cells but no luck.
I was able to convert a standard number to time using the following formula: =TIME(INT(H2/100),MOD(H2,100),0)
I have two Columns of 4 digit numbers (24 hour clock format). I need these numbers to be in Time Format. Formatting the Columns or even individual cells seems to do nothing.
1238 as 12:38 etc.
These numbers are acquired using VLOOKUP
I have attached a copy of my file, The numbers in question are on sheet "iCalender" 8th sheet accross.
Columns "start Time" and "End Time"
Time Format is Compulsory so that I can upload to a .ics Web Converter. Of which is currently failing for this reason.
5th January 2014 - Copy.xlsm
I have an excel document saved in a SharePoint document library. I then have another excel document where I created a connection back to the document being saved on SP (went to data connections->add->browse for more->enter the SP URL & found the document) and then opened that connection up as its own worksheet (existing connections->chose my connection). In the original worksheet (saved on SP), there are about 20 columns that are formatted as numbers. However, when I open the connection up in the new document, half of these columns are still number formatted, but the rest are being displayed as text EVEN THOUGH they are technically formatted as numbers (I right click->format cells & they are formatted as numbers). I can click into a cell and press enter and it will "come up to speed" and enter into number formatting, but as soon as I refresh my connection back to the original document, they go back to their text formatting despite the fact that the connection they are drawing from has them saved as numbers! Very frustrating. Its not a SP issue because I recreated the scenario by saving the original document to my computer and it did the same thing. I even went through one column in the original document and made sure there were no spaces saved to trigger the column to go to text- nothing.
