VB Code To Remove 00/01/1900 Dates From Spreadsheet
Feb 6, 2014
I have a spreadsheet which was formatted from VB code. Within the sheet there are four date columns where some dates show as 00/01/1900 (due to them having '0' in at the time of running the code). I am trying to run some code to blank out all cells showing the 00/01/1900 date, but the code just isn't touching it. I reverted to simply recording the 'find and replace' function and inserting into my code, but those irritating dates still remain.
I'm an accountant, so I've always dealt with relatively current dates. Now I'm trying to do some geneology work, and I find that I can't put in a date prior to 1900. For example if I input "3/5/1870", it comes out as text. If I input "=date(1870,3,5)", it returns 3/5/3770 -adding 1900 years to my date. I don't need to do anything mathmatically with it, but it would be nice to have it return "March 5, 1870".
There are some blanks in the list that I am using, and I need to the blanks to stay as blanks in the sheet that I am indexing to, however they are displayng as 00/01/1900.
1. Is where the user is putting in data. 2. Is a spreadsheet with the data choosen from the action of the user, but it is containing also the non-choosen data from the input spreadsheet. 3. IS how I want the data shown to me either automatic or thru a macro. So is there any code like IF or some Macro who would make this happen?
What I want at the end of the day is a list of products that the user have put in and nothing else, with the QTY and price and the sum of that.
I am a casual user of Excel...and not that advanced..but I have noticed that on some of my spreadsheets there is a probelm making an entry or editing via the control F2 key.
When I go to enter either, this blue box appears..."MS Viisual Basic"..with "Can't find project or library"..and if I hit OK...it goes to another box that says "References VBAProject"..and then if I hit OK the entry goes in. I think so how along the line I must have made some entry that looks like Basic..for I have not deliberately done that, as I do not know or have used Basic. So how or what do I do to get this out of my spreadsheet?
I am using this code to remove a row if string is found, however, I would like to know how can I set it to do the same for all the worksheet in the same excel?
I downloaded a csv file and it contains dates with a time stamp formatted as text. I want to get rid of the time stamp and load only the date, so 01/01/2014 10:18PM would be only 01/01/2014. Selecting left(A1,10) doesn't get rid of the time stamp, and choosing datevalue(A1) gives me a #value error. Is there a date formula that would work here?
I am working with an Excel file that was created in 2001, has not been updated since.
In the first column on the first tab, is a date field, starting from 12/31/2000.
I try to change this to 12/31/2008, and I get the return date of 01/00/00. When I select the cell, the formula bar indicates 12/31/2008, but the cell shows 01/00/00.
If I change it back to 12/31/2000, it is back to normal. I tried to enter 2/3/2009 in another cell, converting to date format, and the same thing: 0/1/00 (Jan 0, 1900)
I currently have to display a large amount of data on a separate report. I have a master sheet which has columns and cells linked to another sheet, then a further sheet which has cells linked to the master sheet. The problem I am getting is when I link some of the date columns using a formula in the 3rd sheet, as this is looking at a cell that has another formula in on the other sheet it is displaying a date of 00/01/1900 if the value is zero, is there any easier way of getting the data to just display a blank as this is messing up the database it is being exported
I have code that pulls data from multiple sheets in a folder and throws a time stamp in the row/col. The data can have duplicates when adding to the master sheet. What I would like is to delete the duplicate row that is furthest from the NOW date.
Criteria for duplicates are based off of Col A. Time stamp is in Col G.
I use a program that can export data into Excel. For the most part, it works fine. except it doesn't correctly handle dates. For some reason, when it pastes a date into excel it includes 8 or 9 (depending if the month is 1 or 2 digits) spaces in front of the date which makes calculations with these dates impossible unless you go into each cell and delete the spaces (or do Find / Replace).
Is there a way I can create a non-VBA formula that will reference any one of these cells and some how identify what the date is & then that cell can be the date I can calc on? I.e., A1 is the date with the spaces in front, B2 is the cell that will reference A1 and produce, as the contents of B2, the date in A1. I can then use B2 in calculations.
Note: the month formats possible are: M/DD/YY (Jan. - Sept.) & MM/DD/YY (Oct. - Dec.). There are no other variations.
the dates in my spreadsheet changed from dd-mm-yyyy to a random 5 digit number. For instance, if I enter in 01-07-2007, it will re format to to 39089. I am trying to fix it, but I can't seem to figure out what happened and how to get all of the dates back to normal. Is there a way to fix this?
to know the number of hours between A5 and J5 of my spreadsheet - working day is 8.30am to 5.30pm also need excluding weekends and bank holidays in the uk. I need the result to appeer in K5. the date and time format i have is: 2009-02-04 - 11:56:39 in column a5 and 2009-02-16 - 14:23:45 in column J5
I have over 100 of these calculations to do per month and it takes me ages manually.
The result of my formula should be blank, but 1/1/1900 appears instead and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know why or how to fix. I can't just change the font color as it screws up other formulas.
In this case the Vlookup is referring to an apparently blank cell with no formula in it. I googled 1/0/1900 and saw a few references that said formatting a cell with zero in it as a date would cause this result, but there is no zero in this case.
I have a cell that has a formula in it and is also Excel Dates & Times coded. Hence when the repsective cells are empty and there is no values to be calculated the date "00-jan-00" shows. how to prevent this from showing up allowing for a blank cell to only show?
I have a old spreadsheet file which I opened up in Excel 2003. It has a few worksheet tabs. 2 worksheet tabs seem identical. I will reference it as Worksheet1 and Worksheet2. In Worksheet1, I enter a date i.e. 1/25/2008 in any cell. It enters as inputted. But in Worksheet2, I enter the same date i.e. 1/25/2008, it appears as 1/0/1900. No matter what date I enter in Worksheet2 in any cell, it always appears as 1/0/1900. Now when I look at cell in the formula toolbar, it sees as a Math Formula meaning, it looks like this: =1/25/2008. How do I correct this Worksheet to recognize any date inputted, not to see it as a Math Formula?
I have a large spreadsheet that has some duplicates in Row Q. However, in column L there is a date. I want to be able to find the duplicates in column Q then delete the duplicate with the earliest date.
I'm trying to capture a set of forecast dates in a spreadsheet. We have column 1 = forecast date, column 2 = actual date.
I also have at the top of the sheet (which I will hide when I get the forumula to work), today's date, today's date less 13 days and today's date - 27 days.
In column 3, I want a traffic light system whereby if the date in column 2 is equal to or less than (before) each of the 3 hidden dates it the cell colour will turn green, amber then red..
I'm trying to put in dates into my spreadsheet depending on the year I enter in. in cell A1, I put in the year (2007). In cell S2, I want to have the first day of the first month to show up, so my formula is =DATE($A$1,COLUMN()-18,1). That works great, it shows up as 1/1/07, which I want. Now my question is, is there a way to copy the formula over to the right, leaving three blank cells and having 2/1/07 show up in cell W2, 3/1/07 in cell AA2, and so on. Right now when I copy it over, what shows up is: 5/1/07 in cell W2, 9/1/07 in cell AA2, and so on.
I have a sheet pasted below, I am wondering if it is possible to take data and have it automatically laid out in a calendar format. Say all the dates in column G could be sorted into a calendar with reference text from column E....
How do you convert a range of dates in this format: 39843 (i.e today 30th of Jan 2009). To text like: 20080130. Secondly, For the same date, how do you make the weeknum function give answer '05' and not just '5'
I am trying to reference a cell on another worksheet, the cell is formatted to be a date. when i put in the following formula =Sheet2!A1 and i don't input a date into A1 on sheet 2 the cell containing the formula shows the date 00/01/1900, is there any way of stopping this showing, ideally the cell would be blank until I inputted a date into A1 on sheet 2
I have a column of data that requires the cell to be blank if the value is 00/01/1900. The data is linked to another cell. IE: cell E3 is linked to cell $D$3 The cell is formatted for dates in the format shown.
Is there a command/formula that will automatically put the progressing date in the tabs of the sheets? Like if I am doing a spreadsheet containing 52 sheets for all the weeks of the year, is their a way I can label the first tab 1-1-2013, and then excel will auto label the remaining 51 tabs when I hold the control key, click/hold cursor and drag the sheet to make another? otherwise I am going to have to manually enter around 1000 dates for the tabs.
I have a spreadsheet that tracks Auditing Dates. Cell A1 has today's date =Today()
Column B2 has the first Audit Date (hard keyed), cell C2 has the second Audit Date (formula =+B2+182), cell D2 has the third Audit date (formula =+C2+182), etc. . . I would like the format of the Audit dates to flag the last audit date in the row red if it is prior to today's date (cell A1).
A - Date last checked B - Due Date C - Actual Date checked
Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?
If you look at the file I attached you will see the tabs at the bottom are months of the year. I know how copy a sheet but every time I make a new month tab I have to retype the month in the top left corner of the table, in the tab, and other places. This gets really repetitive when I have to do this for literally around 20 other spreadsheets like this.
What I'd like is a way to create new month tabs that automatically rename the month and year in chronological order on the sheet and tab if possible. 2 months it's because I'm constantly having to tweak spreadsheets for my boss. It'd be pointless to go ahead and make a template because then I'd have to go back and change the code for every month. So I just create tabs and edit code month by month.
