Suppress Zeros In A Pivot Table (search Out Any Zeros And Replace With A Blank Cell)
Oct 12, 2009
with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
I am trying to get excel to sum totals, but exclude answers that are outside of a certain range. I can get it to do this by using =IF(Z8>0.5,Z8,0). However, I need it to display absolutely nothing in the cells, rather than a zero because it alters future calculations.
I thought it was possible to exclude or hide zeros that appear in a pivot table but I don't seem to be able to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible and/or know how to do this?
When i put a "0" in a currency formatted cell, the result is a blank cell. If i put any other number in there other than "0" it shows a dollar amount of that value (even .00001 works). I have also noticed that before i put a zero in that cell, i can go to the format of that cell, select currency, and i see a sample in the sample box ($0.00). But if i go to that cell, put a "0" in it and return to the format of the cell, the sample box is now blank and it doesn't even show a $ sign. I know the "0" is in the cell because i can see it in the formula bar. But on the sheet itself it does not display it.
I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?
I have an Excel Charts with monthly balances entered. I need to delete all the values $0.00 of which there are many. I have tried to use the find and replace and also i tried the method explained in the Excel level 1 free training.
I have written a macro to convert data from a report exported from Salesforce.com to a format that is acceptable for upload to our website. One of the necessary conversions is to convert values from a Boolean value to a Y/N value. I wrote a macro with a series of search-replace commands such as this:
Code: 'replace 0s and 1s in "Direct Billing" column with appropriate data Columns("R:R").Select Selection.Replace What:="0", Replacement:="N", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False This code generates a warning when no "0" values are found:
"Microsoft Office Excel cannot find any data to replace. Check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected sheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet."
I have a PivotTable linked to a Bar Chart. (see attached JPG for example) I do not want the 0% values to show in the chart at all but I do want to see all of the other percentages. I have been able to hide these values in the PivotTable itself by Conditional Formatting or custom number formats but they still show up in the chart!? how I can get the 0% values to be hidden or not show on the charts at all? I don't want to have to do this manually for every 0% that shows because the data changes daily dynamically. A VBA or Macro solution would be preferred.
i have a mock up football issue here i want to enter scores in sheet 1 and they automatically fill sheet 2 etc i know i can just =and copy sheet 1 A5 and so so but that leaves zeros which will start allmy formulas with 1 point i need a formula that will leave sheet 2 3 etc blank untill any score is entered
Here is a question about the chart in excel. I have a sort of data where only part of the data is in numbers, and when drawing the chart, the whole range of data were selected. Then on the chart, there is a line drop to the x- array, anyone knows how to get rid of it? It is a line chart. Here's an example if i did not clearly describe the problem
Here's data X Y 4354.28 5354.75 6352 7343.82 8aa 9aa 10aa 11aa 12aa
and between 7 and 8 on x, the line will drop from 343.82 to 0, and i don't want this part, i want the chart to show to 7 and leave the 8 to 12 blank..
When I have two or more fields on the left of the pivot layout, sometimes I only want the line item data and the grand totals, but not the various subtotals.
Is there a way to suppress the various subtotals created by a pivot table?
I have a summary worksheet consisting of columns that are referenced to other sheets within the same workbook.
If the cell in the 'referring' (original) sheet is blank then the forumula returns a zero instead of a blank in my summary worksheet, which is messing up some other calculations.
Is there a way to make these cells truly blank, or possibly into string variables instead, so that they do not interfere with my calculations?
The code below (ran from Excel vba) deletes all data from an Access table, paste data from Excel into another table, and then run two Access Macro's and paste data from yet another table back into Excel.
My problem is that when I run the query from Excel, the data returned to Excel is always zero. When I step through the code, and check the Access database, all the steps are carried out properly. E.g, the delete query is deleting all the records in the correct table, the append query is copying the correct data into the correct table in Access. The two macros do run, but then when the resulting table is returned to Excel, it brings back zero's.
Doing all this manually in Access is returning the data correctly.
The two Access macros are running some queries, E.g. the "001 UpdateLatestData" is running two queries and the "002 CreateMonthlyResults" is running about 15 separte queries.
Sub OPENACCESSTABLE_DELETE_ROWS1() Dim db As Object Dim accApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application") oApp.Visible = True oApp.OpenCurrentDatabase DBPath 'Delete Query DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE [001 non motor data].* FROM [001 non motor data]"
Set accApp = GetObject(Access_DB) .........................
I often use the same file/pivot table for both month and weekly reporting. In my source data my field headers show 1,2,3,4..etc. This way I can use for month or weekly. But I often change the "Custom" name on the Field Value Settings to something more descriptive like "Jan" or "Week1"
The problem is that each time I update the the "Custom" name the Pivot Table auto refreshes and it takes forever to re-label all the columns.
Is there a way to suppress this refresh when updating the Custom Field Name?
I have a spreadsheet for which I have to set up a formula to get the minimum value from a range of cells, but that range can include blank cells, errors (#DIV/0) and zeros, all of which I want to be ignored. I can work out how to ignore EITHER the zeros
(=MIN(IF(C10:G100,C10:G10)),
or the error cells
(=MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(C9:G9),C9:G9)),
How to exclude both. If I try to combine both of these exclusion criteria it doesn't work and I end up with the answer #DIV/0, which is one of the values I want it to ignore.
I current have an Excel doc that I am trying to pull averages from. Every row has data that needs to be averaged but I only need every other cell. And I cannot have zeros in the average because it will skew the data. Also if the average for a row ends up being 0, I want that average to show up as 0 not #DIV/0!. From Column H to EE I need to average each row individually.
I have a whole number in cell C2, but i am formatted it in Cell C3 to always have leading zeros combined with the number in Cell C2, where the result will be 8 digits long. example, my number in cell C2 = 572 but i need it formatted to be 00000572, but if the number was 19 it needs to be formatted to be 00000019 and so on.
I am running a formula in Cells B34 and C34, but when I have no values in these cells, I get a "0" in my total cell E34. Is there a way to make the cell E34 show nothing at all when there is nothing in both cell B34 and C34? Like an "and" statement? If there is nothing in cell B34 "AND" C34 make cell E34 empty?
I have a sheet where some data is entered in A1 to C1 and i use concatenate to string them together. The problem is in cell C1, where I used cell format to customize the number of zeros in front of the number.
EG: A1: Photos B1: 2013 C1: 00001
the concatenate result is Photos2013\1, instead of the desired result of Photos2013\0001.
I need to add an extra four zeros to a number in a cell - in this case an ID number, so that i can do a lookup from another list. Basically what i have is two lists of ID numbers in a field of a database, in one i have the correct display/format, so that a number would look like 000054454545. In the second list however the number is only shown as 54454545, due to differences in the programs which imported them. I would like to know if its possible to use a function or macro in excel to basically insert the four zeros onto the number ie 0000 + 54454545 = 000054454545 so that i can do a lookup of one for the other.
I want to know how to index a drop down list to be used for calculations.
Up until now I was using
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is ActiveCell.Formula = SiteID 'site id
But for whatever reason it trims a trailing zero from SiteID when setting it in the second line. SiteID is a VBA string.
Indexing it would work, as would preserving the zero so help on either one is appreciated. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Correction, I lied. I was using this line to set it.
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = SiteID 'site id
I'm using pivot table and i want to erase the blank cell that come out with pivot table and replace it with number 0 or -, how can i do that ? i've be try to do this by go to the table option and in the empty cells check list i've put 0 or - but the pivot table still come out "blank".
I have managed to retain leading zeros in a cell by formatting the cell and selecting Number and Custom and adding the maximum number of zeros I want to have in front of the number in the cell i.e. 000002.
I want to have another cell in the spread sheet which contains the value 35394000002 using the formula =A24&B24.
When I use this formula I get 353942. How can I retain these zeros?
I would like to create a macro to search all blank cells within a certain range in multiple worksheets to replace it with a certain blank cell. Essentially i would like to use a special values function to do this.
I have a sheet with column A. This column A contains numbers from 1 number to 6 numbers.
So, one cell can have a '1' or a '999999' or any combination between them. Now this is the problem.
I want a formula that will fill those cells that don't contain a number up to 6 digits. So if a cell contains '254' I will like this formula to fill the cell like this: 000254.
This should happen with any number that don't have a number with six digits.
78 should be 000078, 78652 should be 078652 and so on.
On my data tab I've got a column for "review date." Some of those cells are blank. When you go to the pivot table, the respective cell for that blank.review date cell displays the date 1/29/14. There is no data in the cell on the data tab, so why would it be displaying 1/29/14? I want it to either say "blank" or just be blank. It does this for every review date cell that is blank.
