I have a column of numbers, all with varying numbers of digits. I want to make them all have only 4 DIGITS in total (regardless of where the decimal is located... so there could be 4,3, 2, 1,or, 0 decimal places). I just want to make everything the same number of digits.
View 9 RepliesDoes anybody know of a special format or a rounding function that displays or rounds a number off to a specific number of significant digits.
Lets say I would like 3 significant digits this would be the results:
0.40019 -> 0.400
6.543 -> 6.54
12.543 -> 12.5
32 -> 32.0
564.7894 -> 565
54387 -> 54400 (or 5.44E+4 to be correct, but i can live with 54400)
Is it possible to specify a number of significant figures (e.g., 3), so that Excel displays only 3 significant figures but RETAINS the full number? For example, take the number 16355.876: is it possible to have Excel display the number as 16400, yet retain the original number 16355.876? I know this is possible when the numbers are less than 1, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with big numbers.

I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay ‘07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc ‘07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage ‘01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir ‘07

Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘05
DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet
1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.
How to round to significant figures using excel, its for a question in one of my college assignments and i cant seem to find any information.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to set an Excel formula to calculate rounding based on the criteria listed below?
When rounding, digits to the right of the significant less than five (5) will be truncated. Digits to the right of the significant digit greater than five (5) will cause the significant digit to round up by one (1). If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five(5) and the significant digit is even, the digits are truncated. If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five (5) and the significant digit is odd, the significant digit is rounded up by one (1).
Ex:
0.230,0.231,0.232,0.233,0.234 all round to 0.23
0.235,0.236,0.237,0.238,0.239 all round to 0.24
0.240,0.241,0.242,0.243,0.244 and 0.245 all round to 0.24
0.246,0.247,0.248,0.249 all round to 0.25

I have thousands of cells in a column like this, (and I can't add any columns to the sheet), and I have a cell with the first three digits and the second three digits. So, out of all these numbers, I want the MAX of ONLY the numbers with the first 8 digits of "800-123-". Also, the decimal on the end is how many times the number was called, and any the decimal and any number after it is to be ignored. The answer would be "800-123-0024", or "0024", I just need a faster way to find it without searching for it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a formula now that is =right(C2,5)+0 that is working well. However the data has grown and sometimes there is also 6 digits now instead of 5. So I need it to pick up either one 5 or 6. When I change the formula to 6 it works but picks up a / which happens to be before the 5 digit # sequence when there is only 5 digits. It works great for the 6. Is there another way around this so I only get the numbre digits if there are 5 or 6 and not the /. Maybe an if statement. I've tried several ways but none work right. The only other thing I can think of is to get it as above with the =right(C2,6)+0 and then afterwards to a find and replace and remove the / from the data. I was just tryign not to add an extra step to the process. Any ideas please?

1. Remove the first 4 digits from each "Appeal ID"
2. Insert a new column (first column) called "Chapter"
3. Run a v-lookup down the new column against a file that is stored on my desktop. The v-lookup will cross check the Appeal ID against the file to identify the Chapter
4. Sort the data alphabetically by Chapter
5. Create seperate Excel files for each Chapter ...
