Quickly Formatting Cell - Different Labels
Feb 19, 2014
Is there a way to quickly format a cell so that it acts as though it is just a number and can still be used in a formula but also have a label? For instance I would like to be able to type in "10cm" and have the cell equal 10 and have it formatted to "General cm".
I realize that this is possible with the cell formatting menu, and can be applied to lots of cells at once, my question is can this be done somehow by just typing into the cell so that I can enter lots of cells that may have different labels without having to go into the cell format menu for each one.

Was working on this problem for a poster: [URL] ......
I can't seem to get the pivot table/chart to format exactly as I desire. It seems that as soon as I add 'group by hour and day' Excel forces the formatting to AM/PM and I want to keep it military. I want to group by hour, so that data that occurs at 6:00 and at 6:30 are grouped, and I had to group by day so that 6:00 on 1/1 was separated from 6:00 on 1/2.
Attached is a worksheet which shows the desired chart format (not a pivot chart), and the attempted pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to match the 'simple' chart in look and feel. Any attempts to change the formatting of the row labels to 'h' is promptly ignored by Excel.
Note the two tasks that occur at hour 18 (one at 18:00 and the other at 18:20 (you will need to see the formatting to truly see the minutes)). Those should be combined in the pivot table (and they are) and on my 'adjusted' table (where I used SUMIFS).

Using Excel 2007: I have a column graph whose numbers/labels on the vertical axis go from ($300,000) to a positive $550,000.
Question: How do I get the labels on the vertical axis to appear in the "accounting format" with the "negative numbers in red" and the "positive numbers in black or blue"?
I have tried to find the answer online and it appears to need to find Format Data Series, which I have been unable to do.

I have an export from a database that I'm bringing into Excel 2010 of about 30K records. Data points are recorded numerically and I have their associated text "value label" (what it would be called in STATA, for example, not sure what it's called in Excel). I want to create various charts/pivot tables with the data and want the labels to be the text label, not the number.
For example, variable ASSIGNMENT has the following possibilities:
1
2
3
4
Here's what each of those "mean" (I have this in another table):
1 - Sick
2 - Overtime
3 - Court
4 - Present
How do I create a chart or pivot table where the labels are "sick", "overtime", etc., and not "1", "2", "3", "4"?

I have a worksheet that is just a list of items with a location listed next to each item. I took that list and made it into a pivot table and would like it to have it list the items with each location it is in displayed across. I have already set it to tabular form in the pivot table options, but if there are multiple locations it lists them vertically and I want them list horizontally for printing purposes. I have attached a screen shot to explain.

If I have a spreadsheet with 52 weeks or 365 days worth of data on it, is there a way (without using the hide function) to display dates of a certain range? For example, I only want to see the data from week 30 - week 40. Is there some kind of macro out there that I could maybe enter start date and end date in to a 2 cells (start date & finish date) and it will automatically filter it for me?

I am building an excel folder with 200+ work sheets in it. there is a master sheet which i collect the rest of the data for the other sheets. My problem is, is that i want to be able to change the sheets quickly on the master sheet when i copy and paste or drag down. The formula that i am using in the cell on the master sheet is =SUMIF(sheet18!$B$4:$B$30,"rd1",sheet18!$E$4:$E$30)
Is there a way to quickly change the sheet from 18 to 19 to 20 and so on, or do i have to go into each formula and change it manual??

Any quick way of deleting all named ranges within a given workbook? I can loop over them, but it takes forever. (I've got about 20,000 names in total).
Turning the normal things off doesn't do much good either (e.g. auto-calculating, events, etc)

I have a single column with references on sheet 1, on sheet 2 I have a single named cell 'FormRef' which contents change (references). Active cell is in sheet one column A (column with references). If I use the FIND function dropdown and enter the '=FormRef ', Excel to quote "cannot find data".
Like a shortened version of vlookup I think. I want the active cell to go to the cell that has the contents of the single named cell in
sheet 2

How do I duplicate the values to say 4 times in a column?
So I have in a column,

I want to duplicate the above to look like this below,
dog

I'll need to do this for 500 unique values 12 times each, so is there a formula to do this easily?

I've built a simple inventory tracking system, and decided a reporting feature would be nice. There are four categories that are entered when inventory is removed...Date, Employee Name, Item Description, Location, and quantity.
Four my reporting purposes I'm only concerned with Date, Employee name and Item Description.
I've been able to write code that does what I want using a multiple Cases and a For loop once the case is identified. However, the more data there is the longer this takes...so I decided to stretch myself and try my hand at arrays (first time really working with arrays), but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need to do.
Here is what I think the steps need to be.
1. Store my data (the categories above) which are located in the Check Out sheet
2. Go through the arrayed data to find exact matches based on my search criteria (here is where the Cases come in)
3. Pull out only that data and write the information to a "Report" Sheet
4. Export that sheet to PDF (this part I already have)
Below is a copy of what my current "working" code looks like (I should mention that the search selections are made from a userform this is what the Cases are deciphering between which ones are blank etc...), also most of my variables are instantiated as Public variables within a Public_Variables module also below.
[Code] ....
And the Public Variables...

When I type an 11 into my textbox (in my userform), I believe that the moment I type the first 1, the "event" kicks in. Is there anyway that I can have the change even "wait" until I am finished typing in all the digits of my number?
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Dim prime As Integer, divisor As Integer, currentcol As Integer
Dim faccount As Integer, currentresidue As Long, currentfactor As Long
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
prime = TextBox1.Value
TextBox2.Value = prime - 1
'Write divisors across and phi of the divisors across at the bottom
Spreadsheet1.Range("c2").Value = 1
[code].....

I want to clear the range A10:IV65536 or all the cells containning numbers under the row A10.
Right now it takes for ever to clear it mannually because excel recalculates everything... i have over 100 000 data and id like to find a way to delete them quickly.
Is there a way to clear a range without excel recalculating everything???
If not the best way i think would be to clear the last columns first all the way to the first columns.

I am using Excel 2003 to run a workbook that contains 60 separate worksheets. To make it easier for the techs to navigate the workbook I created a block of 60 autoshapes, (5 blocks high x 12 blocks long) each block hyperlinked to each worksheet and labeled with the worksheet name. I then placed one of these blocks at the top of every worksheet. A tech can click on the block and it takes him right to the page he is looking for, pretty straight forward. It works very well, but as you can guess this is a lot of autoshapes to be stuck in one workbook (3600) and whenever you make major changes to the workbook than the blocks become a factor, and if you resize the columns or add one, or change a worksheet name... I thought about just creating 60 custom buttons and sticking them on a custom tool bar - but I found trying to create a button with a number on it like "34" (for "worksheet 34") was pretty tough in the button editor.
way to create a set of hyperlink buttons that will allow you to quickly navigate through 60 worksheets?

I have formula that looks for information from another sheet (sheet name "ValidationLists")in Column A (list "billto") and returns all the occurances in my current worksheet (including the 10 columns next in the array). What it looks for is based on whatever value is currenty in Cell A2.
Example of formula is as follows:
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,ROW(billto)),
ROW(1:1))-1,1)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(1:1))-1,1))}
Basically I want to return everything that matches cell A2 of my current sheet from sheet list "billto" in a different sheet but I need the adjacent cells as well. So one cell below this would read the following (Just the Row Changes):
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(2:2))-1,1)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(2:2))-1,1))}
And the column B next to the original formula reads the following (just returning one more column from the array):
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,ROW(billto)),
ROW(1:1))-1,2)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(1:1))-1,2))}
It is working exactly how I want it to. The problem is it is taking 2-3 minutes. I can just get a list of rows with the value in A2 from List "billto" very quickly but then how do I get the entire row to appear in my current sheet quickly?

I am interested in selecting cells in alternating rows as follows:
12 Red Happy
00 Unique descriptor
13 Grn Sad
03 Unique descriptor
14 Yel Happy
02 Unique descriptor
I am interested in selecting all the "12, 13, etc", "Red, Grn, ..." and "Happy, Sad..." for analysis, but want to skip all the rows containing the 0- numbers and the descriptors for them. How do I quickly select only the alternating cells in a column within a selection?

I inherited a Profit & Loss (P&L) template from a colleague. She developed it on Excel 2013 and I'm on Excel 2010, but it's not clear that is the issue here (tho, never say never).
The spreadsheet was set up for quarters and I've expanded it (by copy and paste) to 12 months. It has the typical tables: sales revenues, cost of goods, admin exp, etc. Each table has a number (varies from table to table) of rows with a subtotal in the bottom row of each table. There is also a label row above all the tables (this now has the month labels).
The problem: The subtotal (bottom) row of a table uses the formula "=SUBTOTAL (109, ref1)". In the original spreadsheet, ref1= "QTR1" (or QTR2, QTR3, etc.). I'd like to change that to be MONTH1, MONTH2.... However, when I enter MONTH1 or MONTH2, etc. for ref1, I get a formula error. Which I suspect is expected.
What I noticed is that if I highlight ref1 in the subtotal cell formula and then select the cells I want included in the subtotal, the first selected cell shows a "B8". With 2 cells, it shows "B8:B9". Good so far. However, when I get to the last cell before the subtotal row, ref1 changes to "[QTR1]", so the final subtotal formula shows "=SUBTOTAL (109, [QTR1])".
I've tried to change QTR1 to MONTH1, but get an error. I used Name Manager, but QTR1 doesn't show up on the list (However, the tables are named and seem to reference the columns correctly). If I do a "Define Name", the window pops up w/the name entry empty and the "Refers To" containing "=tblName[QTR1]" (tblName is the name given to the specific table (revenue, cost of goods, etc.) and does show up under Name Manager).
I tried an experiment and in the revenue table I deleted (move left) the cells (up to but not including the subtotal cell) under MONTH1, and then inserted (move right) a new set of cells. Now the "Refers To" shows "=tblSalesRevenue[Column7]".
So, apparently, Excel can assign some kind of label to a set of cells. My question is, how do I (if I can) change that label, or name, so that the column of cells I want to use for my subtotal formula will work (MONTH1, MONTH2, etc.). It's not clear that Define Name or Name Manager is what I should use. I looked at the original spreadsheet and there are no Name Manager listings for QTR1, QTR2, etc.
Additional Note: I forgot to mention that this isn't a show stopper, just a nuisance. If I use normal cell references (i.e. B8:B11, etc.) the spreadsheet works fine and as expected. This is just one of those "nits" that I'd like to understand so that I can make the spreadsheet programming more "readable".

I am trying to find out how to quickly remove do not mail names from our mailing lists. We have several lists and our do not mail list is huge(280) so it's getting very time consuming to clean the lists. I'm assuming I can copy the do not mail list names to the current mailing list and then remove duplicates..but I want to remove both duplicates when i do that. My understanding of the remove duplicates feature and unique values is already a bit foggy.

Need easy solution for doing it while when I drag one card to copying it then related serial number in sheet1 would be appear in required field. I mean first card has first serial number of sheet1 and second card has second serial number of sheet 1 ; but I want to doing it quickly with dragging.

I have a Pivot Table with fields for months and weeks. I also have a "Show Values as % Difference Field" that shows monthly or weekly % change. When I collapse the fields so that it goes from weekly to monthly (or vice versa), I have to manually change each Show Values As % Difference column. Is there a way to do this automatically or quickly?

"Is there a way to make values in a cell that are comma delimited (ex. cat, dog, fish) became separate labels in a pivot table instead of getting labels like 'cat, dog', 'fish, cat', 'cat, dog, fish' which represents the exact value in the cells.
The only real option I can think of would be to make an extra rows with the same data for each pet type. For example if the pets were 'cat, dog', there would be two almost identical rows except one would have 'cat' and the other 'dog'."
I have made a vba setup which can solve the problem. But it is pretty complicated and unstable. I need a solution which is not vba based. ~Or a least a very simple code!

I'm trying to analyse all of my bank statenments to see where all my money went!! I've got online banking so I thought it would be a relatively easy process of copying and pasting each month into excel.
Well, that in itself was easy, the problem is with the formatting of the financial numbers. Excel doesn't seem to recognise them as numbers, so at the moment I can't do any manipulation with the numbers. I have tried everything such as:
Format Cells > Number > Number and Currency
Copy and Paste Special > Values only
Copying into Notepad and back into Excel
Even if it appears to have changed the numbers to 'number' or 'currency' formatting by right justifying the numbers, if I try to add up the numbers using the SUM function, it doesn't want to know.
For some reason nothing seems to work - what am I missing?
For an example, I have attached a snippet of the spreadsheet with my starbucks transactions.

I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)
When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.
I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.
i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.

In the following VBA Code. I have a section labeled tier2 and a section labeled tier3, as you can see.
Both of the calculation formulas are refering to the items listed.
Will the code in the Tier3 section ever refer to the values in the tier 2 section, since they have the same label names?

In Excel 2003 you could use Labels in formula by enabling the Tools-->Options-->Calculation-->Accept Labels in Formula setting. In 2007 I can only find an option for using table names in formula. Is the use of standard labels no longer valid in 2007? If it is where do you enable it?

I have a basic bar graph showing the average home prices per quarter. I know I can turn the legend on and position it to show the average price on top of each bar in the graph. I would like to add an additional legend (on this chart) showing how many homes sold per quarter but not display it as a bar. I just want the number displayed maybe on the bar or below the bar. Can I add a separate (extra) legend?

My excel file brings up a userform as soon as it is opened. The user chooses an entry from the ComboBox and then clicks OK. This brings up another userform which has a Label at the top. I want the caption of this label to show the entry from the ComboBox on the first userform. This should be straightforward, but what I've done so far doesn't work!
I've tried:
Label1.Caption = ComboBox1.Value
within UserForm_Initialize(), but it doesn't work!
