Sorting Dates In Different Formats?

Jul 5, 2013

I'm trying to put cemetery records in a simple, sortable table, names and dates. The problem is that for some entries I have a full date of birth, death, or burial (e.g. 5/12/1892) and for others only a year (e.g. 1892). Is it possible to sort these? All I can get is the just years in order then the full dates at the end. My data look sort of like this:

Smith John 1892 1/1/1940 2/2/1892
Johnson Sarah 3/12/1900 1880 3/10/1900

One thing I don't know is what number format to use (text, long date, short date....) Sometimes the date I type changes after I type it (like 1892 became March 6, 1905) and sometimes it doesn't even though the cell is the same format.

Sorting Worksheets With Various Naming Formats?

Nov 25, 2011

I have a workbook with worksheets that are named in various ways that I need a VBA macro to sort.

Some sheets have names that begin with numbers.

I am able to get the macro to sort them all alphabetically but those with numbers are always put at the start of the work book instead of within the alphabetical format I want to use

I may have sheet names like:

CAT 3CAT 1CAT 2CAT MONKEY DOG 4DOG 3DOG

This is how I want these sheets sorted:

CAT 1CAT 2CAT 3CAT DOG 3DOG 4DOG MONKEY

The sheet names are examples and not actual sheet names.

Below is my code so far

Code:
For lCount = 1 To lShtLast
For lCount2 = lCount To lShtLast And Not IsNumeric(Mid(UCase(Sheets(lCount).Name), 1, 1))
If UCase(Sheets(lCount2).Name) < UCase(Sheets(lCount).Name) Then

[Code].....

Sorting Data That Has Multiple Formats?

Jun 15, 2012

I have lists of products that I want to sort, but all the skus are in different formats, some letter, numbers, spaces, symbols and mixes of all.

Example:
01107919
CE-4128B9
RED-BRIC889
1124
14100119020-E
86TR
ECO CUP22OZ/1000
1418909888783301

I would like to organize them by the order of the numbers, letters and symbols, not the value of the numbers.

Example:
01107919
1124
14100119020-E
1418909888783301
86TR
CE-4128B9
ECO CUP22OZ/1000
RED-BRIC889

I have tried formatting and different sorting options but there's a dent in the wall and my forehead is getting bruised from all of the banging.

Dates With Conditional Formats

Aug 19, 2009

I am trying to create an Excel spread sheet that keeps track of employees safety tickets and the dates they expire. Is there way to have a cell highlight to a color warning me 30 days prior to the due date listed?

Eg. John has first aid and expires on 11/15/2009. I'd like the cell that has this date to highlight red on 10/15/2009.

I have messed around with the conditional formatting and know how to format the cells color and font et., but I can not figure out the formula to use to get my results.

I am using Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (MS Office Standard)(SP3)

Not Recognizing Some Of The Formats As Dates

Aug 27, 2009

I have a date of hire column in mm/dd/yyyy with 5000 rows. It contains many different formats and I need to sort it by year. Is it possible to sort by year and include all months, i.e. everyone hired in 2008, by month.

It also seems that Excel is not recognizing some of the formats as dates.

Working With Condtitional Formats And Dates

Jun 25, 2009

I know I have done this in the past, but now I am having trouble. I have dates in cells that I want to do the following:

First Scenario:
If the date is today, change the color of the text. I have:

Cell Value is equal to =TODAY()
that is working fine

Second Scenario:
If the date is anything within 4 days before today, I want that to change. I have:

Cell Value is Is Less than =Today()<4
that is not working

Third Scenario:
If the date has passed and less than 4 days before todays date, I want something to change. I have:

Cell Value is Less than =TODAY()-4
But that is not working.

Change Formats On Grouping Dates

Oct 24, 2013

Have a simple Pivot table that i have grouped in 14 day buckets.

Currently, the date range looks like this:

1/21/2013 - 2/3/2013

However, I want the range to show the 'last' date only.

Is there a simple way to do this? I just can not see it in the format cells menu...

Sorting Dates Column And Calculating MTD, YTD

Nov 4, 2009

So Column 1 I've got dates, need to sort through that and calculate Year-to-date and Month-to-Date values. These are both Sums of the cells....
YTD = Sum of all cells with most recent yr, in this case 2007
MTD = Sum of all cells in Column B for most recent month, Feb2007 here.

I've listed the desired solution for YTD and MTD on the sheet as well. (I'm guessing the solution will have something to do with SUMPRODUCT?)

Sorting Grouped Dates In Slicer?

Jun 12, 2014

In my pivot table I have "Due Date" with is a column label.

I grouped the dates into weeks by using the "days" grouping and using 7 days.

I created a slicer to allow the user to select with week they want, but the slicer is sorted as though it's a text field and not a date field.

Example:

6/1/2015 - 6/7/2015
6/13/2016 - 6/19/2016
6/15/2015 - 6/21/2015
6/16/2014 - 6/22/2014

I want the slicer to sort by actual date.

Sorting Column With Dates Does Not Sort

Jun 1, 2007

In the attached workbook, sorting the dates in column M results in absolutely nothing happening. The dates are formatted as dates (dd/mm/yyyy). The dates in column M are arrived at by adding a number of days (formatted as Number) to another date, the value of which was determined by an array formula. When I retype the actual date into another column and sort that, I get it sorted. Why does the other sort not work? BTW - I actually need to sort column M with column N.

Hard Sorting Process / Dates And Supplier Code Mixed In Same Column?

Jan 22, 2013

I have an auto generated report that is exported into .csv, my dilemma is that it sorts both the account code and the date in the same column, like this:

9884A B Gerrish Ltd œ 577.270577.270
30/09/201231/10/20121865518655277.010277.01MAL/553260
30/09/201231/10/20121884218842264.260264.26MAL/553259
30/11/201231/12/2012195541955436036MEL/549200

so "9884" and "30/09/2012" are in the same column.

Some how i need to turn this information to say the below three invoices are for account 9884, into more of a usuable data like:

9884 A B Gerrish Ltd 30/09/2012 etc etc.

Obviously through out the document this repeats for each account, upto some 1000 accounts.

Too Many Different Cell Formats

Aug 13, 2005

This error occcurs when i add some worksheets to a workbook from another
one. I am not completely sure (cos this is not my work actually) but it
seems to me that there is not really too much (about 4000?) "different" cell
formats in the workbook, but there is a quite lot amount of drawing objects
(grouped technical drwaings plus autocad objects which i also converted them
to bitmaps to overcome the error).

I also dont understand the restriction:
If i have 3999 cells formatted "bold" and another 2 formatted "underlined"
this should not count 4001. True?

My workbook has about 15 worksheets with each fits to 2 printing pages.

More Than 3 Conditional Formats?

Feb 12, 2009

I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns. In column D there are the following options: 2,3,4,C,T. I want to color the cell if there is data in the cell and column D contains a value.

So for cell L17, my conditional format I have =AND(D17=2,L17<>"") - - (RED), =AND(D17=3,L17<>"") - - (YELLOW), =AND(D17=4,L17<>"") - - (GREEN).

I need to color for values of C and T: but there are only 3 conditional formats permitted. Is there any way around this?

7 Conditional Formats

Jul 20, 2008

I have a sheet that shows sun, mon, tue........,sat - all 7 days.

Under each day there are 3 cols so 21 in total.

Data is being entered into cells each day but as the week goes on it gets more difficult to match up the col & row, to many numbers.

What I would like is a way to highlight the whole range of cells per day in a different colour but only when data has been entered under a day, so if no data then no colour fill.

I only need 2 colours, 1 for sun, tue, thurs, sat &
1 for the remaining days.

=COUNTA($A1:$C20)>0

This works for one range as a conditional format but there aren't enough options to do the 7 days.

Various Date Formats In Same Column

The "issue" is, that sometimes I know the whole date (day, month, year), sometimes only the month and year and occasionally just the year. Is there a way through custom number formatting that excel behaves correctly? How would I need to set conditions to achieve this? Because now something happens which is 99% incorrect .

Multiple Conditional Formats (4+) Using VBA

Oct 10, 2008

I would like to condition one cell to display various colors, based on the information in another cell. I have attached the file for an example. The cell to be conditioned is A1, and the cell that will specify its color is B3. For example, if the value of B3 is "Red Oak", A1 would be red, and if the value is "Maple", A1 would be green.

I have more than 3 of these that need to be formatted (conditional formatting limits to 3 formats), so I'm wondering if I can do an event macro to set the formatting.

Change Date Formats

May 28, 2009

I have a userform which allows data to be entered onto a worksheet. One of the fields (a textbox with the standard calendar control) is the date. When the transaction saves, it correctly saves the date as dd/mm/yyyy using

ActiveCell.Value = TxtDate.Text

I also have a form which allows the user to amend a transaction by loading the data onto the form, amend it and save it back to the worksheet.

The problem is that when it picks up the data and re-saves it, it's resaved in the format mm/dd/yyyy which is a problem because I use the month as one of the categories that users can filter the data by.

I also have the following line immediately after each time the data is saved from the form to the worksheet:

Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy;@"
