Does 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)
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 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI entered exactly 113,876.92 in cell L16 I entered exactly 113,390.02 in cell L17 I entered =L16-L17 in cell L18 L18 incorrectly shows the result at 486.9000000000009000 (note the extra "9" after the 11 zeros). When I expand the viewable digits on L16 and L17, they have ALL zeros after the cents. (I went out at least 25 digits). I can't be the first one encountering this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?
I am trying to apply conditional formatting to highlight the cells in D column if it starts with 91099 or 91004.
I tried to do the same using wild card, and left function but didn't get the desired output.
i need to format my numbers in the following format
10,00,000.00
the first three digits will be separated and then subsequently 2 digits
is there some way to conditionally change the last digit into something else entirely? 1222 should be 122.25, 1224 should be 122.50, and 1226 should be 122.75.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a formula that sums all the cells that have numbers that begin with 12. For example, here are the numbers in cells A1 through A6 (my actual spreadsheet is much larger):

I want to pull the 12, 1200, and 120 for a total of 1332.
I have a number, eg, 1234567 and rounded to prepare the shrink of the size of the number like

I need to strip "000" from the number and place 1234 to a cell.
Can a vba macro be provided for splitting a number into digits? The number will be in Sheet 1 but splitted number will be on sheet 2. Splitting of numbers means a number entered into a cell will be splitted into different column/cells with one digit per cell.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to extract the fifth and sixth digits from an 8 figure number i.e. 20010891 would equal 10.
I have tried every combination of Left & Right combined with Find that I know and nothing works.
In my worksheet there is a column with values of either 3 or 4 numbers. If the value only has 3 numbers I would like to add a space before the first number, to ensure the proper line-up when saving the sheet as a text file. How can I do this (conditional formatting or macro??)

I need to calculate the sum of digits in a numeric string. The function should keep on adding the digits of each result, till the final sum is a single digit. Please refer to the following example and result expected:-
Supposed the number entered in Cell A1 is 456789
Result 1 = 4+5+6+7+8+9 = 39
Result 2 = 3+9 = 12
Final Result required = 1+2 = 3
as you can see in the picture;
it is possible to separate numbers from Column A into each column of B and C?
I have a calculated field which is essentially two concatenated values (DDMMYY and sequential numbers starting from 1). I want it so that any single digits will automatically have a zero in front (e.g. 01, 02, 03 etc). The concatenating takes place in VBA so it has to be coded...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like a function that checks an input number to see if it contains unique digits. If the digits are unique the output is 1 else the output is -1. Thus, supposing we call the function UNIQ(), we find UNIQ(15423) = 1 but UNIQ(154532) = -1. The input is always a positive integer.

E.g, the original value is 8321515222222123122 but it always transfer to 8321515222222120000
I have tried the simple cell format setting, that is after pasting, I set the cells to text, but it doesn't help and also try the custom fomat "###################", but it is still the same result with the last 4 digit lost.
What I want the format to be is not in scientfic and have to be full display.
a2 needs to contain a number (multiple of 10 10-90) and then d2 must contain a formula that gives that number in word form.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have in my cell a number, namely, 5260007005020024100055040300004110000000
What I would like to do is extract a set of digits from it,
Starting from the second 2, and shown here in the dots. I need all of the numbers in a separate cell, "52600070050200 .24100055.. 040300004110000000"
Hope this is clear. bearing in mind the number will remain as one so I would need to start at 14 then using LEN or something I'm not sure, extract the following 8 into another cell.
I have a large file with cells filled with text (converted from a database, imported into Excel). The text is in rows of column A and always contains a 16 digit number, which is what I need. I am able to clean up this text and show only this number, but then Excel shows the last digit as a '0'.
An example of the text I need to filter the 16-digit number from: GIRO 6838657 K MAHMODBETALINGSKENM. 7062542158461684 STORNOADMINISTRATIEVE REDEN 1 ZIE DE TOEGEZONDEN KENNISGEVINGVAN VERHAAL OF CJIC.NL/VZD
I've altered some of the information in here so this is fake. The text is messy but all I need is the number.
This is the macro I use to clean up the text and leave only the 16 digit number:
Sub CleanUp
Dim e As Variant
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
[Code].....
It sort of works, but when I run it, I get this number as a result: 7062542158461680 (last digit is changed into a zero).
I've been trying to insert this line into the macro but it doesn't work: Columns("A:A").NumberFormat = "@"
How do I change the outcome of this macro into the actual number?
If this is impossible to do, I can also manage if there is a way to filter only the last 9 digits from the 16 digit number. I can work with that, too.
I use Excel XP (2002) at work.
counting some room numbers that meet a specific criteria. For example:
Let's say i have room numbers

I need to count the room numbers which the last two digits are greater than 40.
So far I have tried to separate the last two by using the Right formula but then when I try to use countif, it doesn't work as I guess that the result of the extraction comes back a a text value
I am working on my project for VBA and I need to make a program for Large Factorials sch as 25!, which is too big to fit as a Long-integer. I basically have to find a way around this by storing the numbers as arrays F() and C(). Array F is for the multiplication of each cell of memory, and C is for the carries, which will later be added. I need to separate the hundreds, tens and units of each multiplication.
To Further explain, lets say I have 12!; to find this I would take the previously calculated 11! (by using a loop) and multiply 12 by each memory cell of the array F(). So it's kind of like multiplying by hand, you bring down the units and put the carries on top to be added later. I would store the carries as one or two memory locations over of the current I, or the current loop number. So the units of the mult. would be stored as F(I), the tens would be carried and stored as C(I+1), and the hundreds would also be carried, but this time two cells over, so C(I+2)
The main problem I have is finding the proper code to split the number into units, tens, and hundreds, and then assigning them to their appropriate memory cells within their respective arrays.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
Dim F(1 To 30), C(1 To 30), N As Integer, Fact As Long, Length As Integer, space As Integer
Sub LargeFactorialCalc()
Open "F:project.txt" For Output As #1
F(1) = 1
N = InputBox("Enter the number you would like to take the factorial of: ")
[Code] .......
I have 4 and 5 digit numbers. For the 4 digit numbers, I want to be able to distinguish between the numbers by the last digit. For the 5 digit numbers, I want to be able to distinguish between the numbers by the last two digits.
Example: For 4 digit numbers, I would like to do something with all numbers ending in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. For 5 digit numbers, I would like to do something with numbers ending in 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, etc.
The first step in being able to do this, I guess is distiguishing between 4 and 5 digit numbers, which I know can be done by the number lenght. However, the second part of looking at the last digit or the two last digits I don't know how to do.
