I want to add a date into cell Q when adding data into cell N but I also want to ensure that that date remains static, so when the spreadsheet is re-opened the historic date remains. Also, I want to add a date to column E which will remain static. I have entered the formula = TODAY() but when I re-open the spreadsheet I lose the historic date.
View 6 RepliesToday() provides a dynamic date which always equals the current date - not very useful when dating accounting documents. Is there a function that will allow the use of Today(), at the time of the document creation, but will then freeze the date to the date of creation?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way that formula links in spreadsheets can use environment variables to reference formulas in other spreadsheets/addins?
For example, I have a spreadsheet that imports templates which call functions in an addin. The spreadsheet, templates and the addin could be installed into either the 'Program Files' or the 'Program Files (x86)' folders.
I am experiencing issues with the formula references when moved between 32 and 64 bit computers since Excel seems to store the full path of the addin in the Excel formula (even though it hides it when the reference resolves its path) in my templates. I would like to update the references in my templates so that they use an environment variable (set by my software installer) to always know the correct path of the addin.
In Excel 2003, spreadsheet links are edited via: 'Edit'->'Links'
In Excel 2007 and higher,'Data'->'Edit Links'
I'm trying to make a simple chart, which maps the value of an investment fund over time. I wanted to use the new 'Table' feature within Excel 2010 to format and maintain the formulae within the Table, and the 'Header' for the table contains the date, which is not at regular intervals.
If I opt not to use the Table feature, I can create a line-chart with ease, and Excel recognises that the Dates are indeed dates and plots the graph correctly. The minute I convert over to a Table, the Date headers are no longer recognised as dates, and are instead plotted as if they were text, at regular intervals.
I've tried multiplying the Date Headers by 1 to force them back to true Dates, but this still does not work. I've also changed the setting on the horizontal axis to Date axis rather than automatic, but still no joy.
I am in strange situation where I have a data with Invoice Dates. These dates are in Text. However, when I convert it into reall excel dates. For some reason the dates do not come right. convert my text dates into excel real dates. I did a lot of google search and apply these three methods but all of these gave me strange result I was not expecting. These are the methods I used and the result of each method.
Method 1 : Using Text to Column Wizard (Excel 2007)
I highlighted invoice column and went into text to column wizard. I clikced on Date button, and selected MDY format. Strangely enough, my result was day, month and year i.e. DMY which does not seem right.
Then I press Control ~ on this data as shown in second view.

2nd Method - Using formula to convert text date to real dates When I used formula, I get the following result. As you can see, formula is converting text dates into different system dates than the first method.Further strange things is when I take these system dates i.e. 4283 and in 2007 excel format use "Short Date" the same system date gets converted into wrong year as shown in the second view.

Similarly, I tried other methods or copying blanks etch but none seems to convert text dates into real (system dates).
I am using the statement
Code:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A6").CopyFromRecordset rs
to populate columns A through to F. These records come from an Access database.
In column H through to L, content is being written for each record.
For example columns A to C are dynamic and H to I are static
A
B
C
H
I

Some data 1
Some data 3
Manually entered data 1
Manually entered data 3
2
Record 2
Some data 2
Some data 4
Manually entered data 2
Manually entered data 4
The problem is when a new record is added to the database. It creates a new row for columns A to F however the data for H to L does not move. The same occurs when a record is deleted from the database.

I need to convert the following string into Excel dates:

Right clicking it and changing it to date format will not work.
I have tried extracting individual days/months/years out by using Left/MID and Right functions but as you can see, problem lies when there days with single digit or double digits.
I wanted to determine the number of days between two dates. Specifically, if the initial date is in one month, and the second is in a different month and an output would result a number of days in each month until the final date. BUT I have a large amount of data to do this for in a list view, way to put a formula in excel and just drag down the entire list to get the required information. see below for an example.
The result I'm looking for is the separate the months and only show the relevant months between the two dates in one cell or the adjacent. Something similar to the table outlined below.

Attached a workbook of what I see. On column A and B there are dates with time on a "m/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format.
Until a while ago excel 2010 would recognize the dates and I was able to find the time difference between the 2 just by typing =B1-A1 (column C)
I think due to a Microsoft update (?) I cannot do it anymore and excel will not recognize the info?
In functions it is easy to simply say =if(a1>b1, do X, don't do X)
But how do I do this in VBA? Excel 2007

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel sheet which has a column containing data only for the month of January 2014. The date format used is dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm All the data must be something like dd-01-2014. But, the excel sheet is interpeting like it has data for Feb, March, April, June etc...
The data in the sheet is getting miscalculated like it has data for rest of the month also.
Lets take an example of 01-02-2014 09:22:16. Actually its 2nd Jan 2014 but excel sheet misenterpretes as 1st February 2014. 01-04-2014 07:49:51 is being taken as 1st April 2014.

I am trying to create a For Loop where the RND from array column sptemp(i,2) is static throughout the entire loop when I pull the data out separately by columns to create a chart. The data works perfectly if I print it out on the excel spreadsheet via ctrl+shift+enter as an entire array but I am trying to graph the columns and the RND is updating and not syncing with the same random number, as sptemp(i,3) and sptemp(i,5) are both linked to sptemp(i,2) which is the RND. I am trying to graph column 3-5 on the Y-axis and column 1 on the X-axis, and column 3 and 5 should look identical after subtracting column 4.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat im creating is a live odds program for NFL football... and in my workbook I have ALL the teams as individual sheets.
The problem im having is say im looking at the calculations for Pittsburgh on the pittsburgh sheet, and my macro decides to update.
What it does is pulls me away from the pittsburgh sheet and goes through all the updates for all the teams on all the sheets. By the time its updated all the odds for all the sheets and running and highlighting with the other macros I have to click back to Pittsburgh and view again for like 20 seconds.. and away she goes again updating the sheets.
Is there any substitute for "select" in the programming where it will not select the sheet.. but just update it "behind the scenes" ?? making the page static and remaining viewable while it runs all the processes in the background??
( yep im pretty new at all this, but i have a great method for calculating games and winners each week, but probably better without looking for 20 seconds waiting, clicking back to the sheet and looking for another 20 seconds .. etc etc .)
I have found threads that explain that if you want a to use the now() or today() function but make it static, you have to put a code in the worksheet relating to it.
I have read quiet a few threads, but i can't seem to make my code work.
I need to format column A to have the date format in it. I have a event procedure that puts Now() when run in Column A and I think i need to add the following code to the worksheet to make it static.

I'm currently working on a department worksheet to track productivity.

I know this needs to be done in VBA, but I can't find how (if possible).
I'm new to this board and not a super Excel pro, so any help would be fantastic! Also, I'm working with the company's very old Excel97.

I have never written macros or used the VBA.
Can someone give me simple, step by step instructions on how to do it.
