I have tried all possible ways to make the entire text appear in the cell. I changed the cell sizes by dragging the row and column margins, changed text-general format and a lot other things but it appears that excel does not even know I have text in the cell. I also entered ALT+Enter to add a line break. Nothing happens. The text remains the same way. Dragging the margins only feels like uncovering the hidden layer of text under it.
View 8 RepliesI have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.
Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.
It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.
I am running windows XP SP2 with Office 2000 SP2 I have a spreadsheet in
Excel and I have one cell I'm trying to wrap the text in so the text will fit
in the cell but it's not working, some of the text is hidden in the cell
unless I drag the cell block way over to expose the text contents.
I am preparing a very large spreadsheet of text. Once I reach a certain point (a few paragraphs?), the program stops wrapping the text. All of my text is visible in the box at the top of the spreadsheet when I click on the cell. I double checked to make sure it's set to wrap, which it is. I tried merging two cells, no change.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a column with a formula that pulls the names of different people. Some names are long so I use the format the cells by checking the wrap text box under format cells.
However it does not seem to work. It just cuts off the end.
Does wrap text work if it is a formula and not actual text?
if there is maximum number of characters in a cell, above which wrapping and the row height auto-fit functions will not work? I typed a paragraph into a cell and have the cell set to wrap and the row height to auto-fit but it does not display on print preview or on actual printing past a certain character in the cell. Even when I manually increase the row height, it still does not display.

View 9 Replies View RelatedRows a1:a10 are merged and the problem is that all cells next to these are now not wrapping. I remember reading that when a call is merged this is what happens to the cells adjacent, but is there any code that can help to wrap these adjacent cells?
My cells will not always increase in size with text wrapping.
Especially when I copy and paste from one sheet to another. I have formatted and re-formatted and re-formatted.
I am using Office 2007. I have a cell that is set to wrap the text. Only thing is when it goes over 273 characters or so it no longer wraps and all I see is ###########. Is there a text wrap limit? I don't recall there being a limit. I tried making the cell height larger but that didn't work.

VLOOKUP will only work to a set limit number of text characters in a cell. So I can search for the value "*orange*" if the cells contain a reasonable amount of text, but as soon as this exceeds some limit, it returns BLANK. I've also tried using INDEX/MATCH with same problem. Is there a workaround or alternative function?
For example:
This will work and return the text in cell A2
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
This will return BLANK
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I am trying to convert some text with comma separated values into columns but this is not working:
330,335336,337343351,353354,355,357,358369,370,373375,380,381,382,383,384385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392393,394,395,397,398,399
As you can see some columns have 1 comma, some multiple and I need each laid out into a single cel so I can do some lookups. The space values in the above data is actually a new column in the sheet.
I use Vlookup all the time but this is one has be stumped. On the attached spreadsheet I trying to lookup the description on sheet 2 (lookup data) and return it to description on sheet 1 (orig data). I have the both fields formatted as text so I'm not sure why it's not returning the value?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to work out how to fix the formula below to take into account and ignore and text entries, while giving me the result of the sum of column K minus the sum of column J. If I delete the text entries, the code works but I need the text entries to stay where they are. I've attached a sample sheet with fake info to explain whan I'm trying to do.
Cell N28 on the 'MGMT INFO' tab contains the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet01!$K$1:$K$1000)-(Sheet01!$J$1:$J$1000))),0,(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet01!$K$1:$K$1000)-(Sheet01!$J$1:$J$1000))))
Columns J and K on the 'Sheet01' tab contain the Pay and Invoice information for all the work planners for that client that I'm trying to find the difference between. Each work planner has 'Pay' and 'Invoice' also in that column though, one entry per planner which is causing the SUMPRODUCT formula to screw up.
I've got a report that has a period date in it and its in the format "ARP-12", which is not set as a date. If I highlight the column and click Text to Columns it puts it in a date format which I can use.
I recorded myself doing this to insert into a marco but the date format is not correct. When I do it manually ARP-12 comes out as 01/04/2012 which is what I need but when i run the code i recorded it comes out as 12/04/2011.
I've pasted the code I've got below:
Columns("F:F").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("F:F"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Range("A1").Select
I have a drop down list called Status including Testable and Not Testable
A1 = Testable
A2 = Testable
A3 = Not Testable
A4 = =COUNTIF(A1:A3,"Testable")
Gives me 0... i don't get it. Should show 2 no?
I have recorded the following code, but while it works during the recording stage it doesn't within the macro.
Range("D18").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("D18"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _

The data within column D is imported dates and I am doing the text to columns to get a later macro to recognise the cells as dates and not text.
(The code seems to work for a few of the cells but not all of them.)
I want to use TextToColumn function of excel using vba. I tried recording a macro to get the syntax and then make a few changes to it; But it is not working when i run it from vba ... if i do it manually it is working very nicely but it just skips that step in vba.
i have pasted my code

I am downloading my data in the eze tab. Column b is in a text format. How can I amend my formula on the trading statistcs tab for my sumproduct formula to work?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI copied and pasted text (last names) from Website A into File A. Then did the same from Website B into File B. I wrote index match formulas to compare columns between files. I've done this literally hundreds of times, and it's always worked. This time, however, I get ZERO matches - even though there are lots of them. Troubleshooting was straight-forward: it has to be website B. (Strange thing is, I HAVE used text from website B before in similar applications with no problems.) Something in the way they present the data is preventing matches. (Everything works when I manually type over text from Website B.) It's not an upper case/lower case problem. I tried copy-pasting values only - to no avail.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:

When I sort by this column I expect to get:

Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.
I have a macro that imports xml and then allows the user to update certain fields. The XML contains many quotation marks and inbound I deal with this by replacing " with ' using Find & Replace.
But before exporting the XML again I need to replace the ' with " but am stuck on how to do this.
For instance I'm trying the following with no success:
Cells.Replace What:="'", Replacement:=""", LookAt:=xlPart" _

I have a large file with account numbers in Number format. Before I can import the data into a database the account numbers need to be converted to Text. I use Text(A1,0) to do this in a large file. The data then gets copied into a new Import file. When the data gets copied the account cell reverts back to scientific notation for the long account strings. The import file account column is formated for Text. The only fix is to then double click on each account that is in scientific notation to convert it back to text.
Is there another text formula I can use?

I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.
