I populated an XL sheet from another one using a formula. However, in order to use my new sheet I need all the cells to be numbers and not formulas. Is there a way to turn all the formulas into numbers, leaving behind just the numerical value ? Basically like pasting only values, only without having have to paste them somewhere else.
View 2 RepliesThe format of the text in which I need to extract numbers is as follows:
23411268 - 23411270
Need to extract the following:
23411268
23411269
23411270
These numbers have to be listed in three seperate rows.
Usually this question is asked the other way around, but I have a somewhat unique problem. A certain website gives out tables filled with numbers. Positive numbers show in black font and negative numbers show in red font, but unfortunately, negative numbers do not include the minus sign -- the font is red and that's it!
I need a macro (or any other solution) that will turn the red font numbers to negative ones and would possibly format the cell to show negative numbers in red (I guess the last part is easier). The main problem is searching for the red font numbers and turning them negative.
i would like to know how to turn the word beside into numbers, ie if b=2,e=5,s=60,i=10,d=4,
also can this word be in the one cell or would it have to be entered separately, ie one letter per cell??
I'm trying to convert some data which excel is reading as text into numbers for example I have:
[Code] ......
All the numbers I've imported from an app analytics company into excel which are greater than 1.0 appear as numbers (to the right side of the cell) and all the numbers less than 1.0 appear as text (to the left side of the cell). I want all the numbers appearing as text to appear as numbers so I can multiply them with other cells.
I've clicked format cells - number but this has no effect. I click format cells -protection - unlocked but this has no effect.
I have thousands of rows with all numbers less than 1.0 as text instead of numbers. What's the easiest way to mass convert them all to numbers seeing as the above options haven't worked.
I don't want to have to click through thousands of rows to edit it manually...
I run a report from a scheduling software that gives me the total hours and minutes for a weekday for my bus routes. For instance, 253 hours and 23 minutes for one day. Now though, I need to calculate how many hours and minutes for the entire month. The report will only come out with 253h23. I need to somehow take that, turn it into time and then multiply it by 20 (January weekdays). But I need real hours and minutes and I'm having trouble getting them.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a column of dates and have been asked to turn a cell next to it green, orange or red but I don't think this can be done?
Otherwise is there a way to turn the background of the cell a different colour, am sure there is?
What I need is if for example the date in the column is 01.08.08 then up until 7 days I want it to turn green, between 8-10 days I want it to go orange and over 10 days it needs to go red. Is this possible?
I have this formula:
=IF('2010'!R10C2="y",'2010'!R10C3,"")
And I want to be able to drag it down and have the cells update, but all it does is keep the same values.
Is there something I need to turn on or off.
what i want to do is say:
If A1="" then color B1 and C1 black, basically turning those cells off
I am looking to do find the latest date in a list of dates but have several problems:
1) The dates are all in one column on worksheet 1, but are sourced from other worksheets. So even though it looks like '8/7/09', the value of the cell is 'Worksheet2!B4'. This is making the MAX function not work
2) How to deal with the blank cells in the MAX function?
I am working on a file with different users entering information on different sheets (tracking the status of individual projects and activities). Using the macro below (which I found in the forums), the individual data will be combined on a master sheet. My problem is that some of the users will be using autofilters to filter their own data (for example--filtering to show only the "Open" projects). When I do the copy of the individual data, I want ALL of the data, not just the data that is being shown by the individual filter settings.
At first, I just turned the individual filters off before copying the data. The other users have asked if there is a way around this or alternatively, restore the filter values after the copy.
A key point, there are currently 8 user sheets. Each user is allowed to set their own filters and change them at will-e.g. one day, a user may filter on projects due in Q3, another day she may be looking at all projects closed in 2013.

Sheets("Combined").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete

I'm just trying to copy certain cells from one worksheet & add them to the next available row on the next sheet, my data is going right down to the end of the sheet though (row 1048554) & instead of placing them on the same row its placing them in the row underneath the previous data in the next column. My code is below & I've included a table at the very bottom of how the data is coming out.
Sub Copydata()
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
Sheets("PO").Select

I have been trying to import CSV files into Excel on my new computer. I previously had a windows 7 system with office 2007. I have now moved across to a windows 8 system with office 2013. The problem I am faced with is the CSV files which I imported without problems on my old system don't seem to work on the new one. The excel spreadsheet shows the numbers, but when I try and use any formula, the cell comes up with 0, as if there is nothing in the cell. When using my old system, it shows that it is a picture that needs to be converted to text, but I cannot find out how to sort this out in Windows 8. I have even tried various versions of office, 2007, and 2010 on the windows 8 system with the same problem. I have tried all the things I have found online, checking the regional settings and those type of things.

How can i do a formula that copies the above values exactually to a cell ona another sheet
Here is the formula I am using however it interprets the blank cells as 0% and includes it in the average. To make it more difficult there will be some 0%'s.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is what I am using:
=VLOOKUP($A5,TEAM!$B:$MZ,23,FALSE)
When I select the cell formula extension button thing and drag it to the right, the formula copies exactly into the next cell. If I select multiple cells starting from 19-23 and then drag, excel just repeats the formula over, (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 19, 20...) This is seriously frustrating as I have to click into the formula bar on each cell and change the value of the column lookup.
I can't keep going manually as I need to go to about 300 cells...
I am looking for a formula that either accepts the number in a cell if the numbers on two other cells are "approved". In other words, I have on cell A1 my value to be tested. On cells A2 and A3 I have two numbers. On cell A4 I'm looking for a formula that copies the number on A1 if A2 is bigger then 0.25 and A3 is smaller then 0.35. In not, there's no copy or a N/A appears.

I'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
I fill out this form everyday and sometimes need to type "S" and every time it fills in "Sampling Rate #1" because that's what it says in the same column higher up. Is it possible to turn this off somehow?

I have a sales and prospects spreadsheet. It has information in columns A to O. The last 3 columns M, N and O, require a 'Y' for Yes or 'N' for No entry. If entering N, the background colour of the cell turns grey using conditional formatting, and if entering Y the background colour of the cell turns Gold using conditional formatting. Column O is headed 'Sold', so that column is onviously the final Y. Upon entering Y in column O, ie the sale is made, I's like it that the whole row, so all cells of that row in columns A to and including O turn gold to easily visually differentiate done deals from prospects.
Also what would be cool is if when a deal is done, it not only turns the whole row gold, but moves the row to the top of the sheet, so by dividing done deals from prospects, that is utopia at this stage though, more important is turning the row gold upon a Y entry in column O.

In the example above, I would like to do a vlookup in column C that matches the digits in column A to those in column F, with the output being the corresponding value in column G. I believe it involves the left function but not sure how to really use it here.
I recently installed Office 2002 onto a new computer and found that whenever I drag-and-drop any amount of data from one cell to another, a loud obnoxious noise plays when I release the drag-and-drop data.
I was using the same version of Office on my old computer and did not have this problem.
I'm guessing it's a clipboard issue, since when I open the Excel clipboard (where I currently have all options as unchecked) and copy something so it is captured there, the same noise plays.
I already have turned off Windows sounds via the Control Panel and have no clue how to turn off this sound.
I'm going through financial statements and I would like to be able to run full blown analysis on them. Most public financial reports are written so that a lot of zero's do not take up the useful space. As such (and there is a ton of this solution out there I've found), many people want to take $1,500,000,000 and turn it into 1.5M
I however, do not. I want to convert it backwards. So when something says 5.19 I would like to format it in such a way that it will read (and I can run calculations against it) as 5,190,000,000 (there are no alpha characters, there are instances where there will be negative numbers). Then I could copy this to the 17 different financial statements I've already got rock'n rolling in Excel right now.
I have the Macro

That starts a timer macro (Recalc) in my excel sheet when the workbook is opened, my issue is that when the work book closes it continues to run.
Will the following macro fix this problem, or is there some command like Workbook_Open() but for closing?

I have a workbook that has many Pictures created with the Camera command. I have found that VBA macros in any workbook open at the same time as the one with Pictures run very slowly. Is there a way of temporarily turning off the Picture Refresh within the VBA in the same way as you can turn off automatic formula updating.
