VBA Read Dates As Numbers?
Sep 23, 2009
I have a userform that has several textboxes and checkboxes. Some of the textboxes read and display dates from certain cells. I have the checkboxes conditionally formatted based on the data in the textboxes. However it doesn't seem to be reading the dates as a value. Here's an example of my issue to make it clear for you:
txtBox 1 = 01Sep2009
txtBox 2 = 01Oct2009
What I need is for the checkbox text colour to change from black to red if txtBox1 < txtBox2. Here's the code I have in place:

I require reading numbers which are multiple of 100s and 10s.
The following snippet of code below (part of larger code), does not pick up input values of 100s.
Code:
'=====================//VL==============================================='
If UCase(Left(Dn, 2)) = "VL" Then
If IsNumeric(Mid(Dn, 3, 1)) Then 'And IsNumeric(Mid(Dn, 4, 1)) Then
If Mid(Dn, 4, 1) = "0" Then
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 3)) + 10
Else
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 3)) + 0.1
End If
Else
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 2)) + 1
End If
'=============================================================='
I tired many ways manipulating the code to make it work, but can not get it to work.
Input:
VL10s
VL100s
VL11s
VL11
Desired Output:
VL10s --> 11
VL100s --> 110
VL11s --> 11.1
VL11 --> 11.1

I'm attempting to create a formula that will find the name associated with a value, and return that name on the same column as that value in a later equation.
OK OK to illustrate it a little better:
There are three people: Bill, Ted, and Andy. Each one is ranked in Points, so my table looks like this:
A B
1 Bill 10
2 Ted 20
3 Andy 30
Later on, I want to rank the individuals based on their score, using a formula. Right now, I can rank the scores based using LARGE(B1:B3,1), then LARGE(B1:B3,2), and lastly LARGE(B1:B3,3). That ranks the numbers in descending columns. However, I want the information to automatically populate the name associated with that particular point total. So, I want the system to know that B1 is Bill's score, and rank it, in descending order, later on in the spreadsheet, with Bill's name.

I get a spreadsheet every day that has a column of numbers that contains dates that are not in a date format. Is there a way to convert these numbers to a date format? The numbers come from an outside source so I can't modify on the front end. look at the attached spreadsheet with representative data of what I'm trying to ccomplish.

I import data from my works server and dates are represented in text. example text format is yyyymmdd/19790310. What I'm trying to do is add and subtract from this date. I was trying to utilize formula and havent got close. I have a couple of parameters:
In column L I would like to represent the following
if column "B" is "A" add 38 years to column "J" dates are represented as TEXT
if column "B" is "B" add 35 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "C" add 30 years to column "J" "
if column "B" is "d" add 30 years to column "J" "
Column "M" I would like to find the difference in column "L" and "C" I know days will be difficult it can be represented in years and months only.
I have no preference on whether I use VBA or a formula but have failed on on formula and was attempting to use VBA Case method but no success. I have 10000 rows of information and am open to any ideas attached an example of my data.

I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

I have a spread sheet that shows the dates items were shipped. When trying to work out the value of parts shipped in a month using SUMIF I get the value zero, I believe this to be because (obviously), there are multiple dates of ships during the month, I therefore tried ignoring the day of ship in the SUMIF but this did not work, the date format is DD/MM/YYYY.

I am starting a project that will involve finding how old people are using the difference of two years. Cell A1 will contain the function that automatically obtains the current year from the PC clock (or a manual input). Cells B1...B6 will contain text (names). Cells C1...C6 will contain the month of their birth. Cell D1...D6 will contain the day of their birth. And cells E1...E6 will contain the year of their birth. Cells F1...F6 will have the formula to calculate the difference between A1 and its respective cell column E.
The only functions I know are =(TODAY) which does not give me just the year. Also, I do not know how I would be able to do the calculation [e.i., =(TODAY) - 1988].

I want to take the average of the numbers between if they fall between dates of 2006 and 2007.
I can not do it with averageifs because I have that NA# in the second column. I dont know what to do.
I have something that works but only if it does not contain NA#, below is the example of what works:
=AVERAGEIFS($D$2:$D$131,$B$2:$B$131,""&H2)

I have a column of Dates in Col B with corresponding X values in Col C. I specify a start date in Cell F14 and an end date in Cell F16. I then use the function shown in cell H6 to identify the starting row number (corresponding to start date) in Cell F6. If I used the same function to identify the end row (in this case 4/2/13), it would choose row 8 which is the first row in which it encounters that date. Unfortunately, I need the end row to identify the last row that date appears in. In this case, that would be row 11.

I am creating a spreadsheet for use in a manufacturing environment to create a costing and cut list spreadsheet for production set up. The intent is that anyone can use this by copying and pasting an Excel Bill Of Material (BOM) that is generated out of a CAD program onto sheet 1. On sheet 2 (which they don’t touch) is the costing and cut list spreadsheet that references sheet 1 and automatically generated the numbers to create cut sizes and costs.
The first challenge I had was that the measurements include the inch symbol. For example if the imported text 15 5/8" is in cell A1 I am able to remove the inch symbol by using the following formula on sheet 2: =--LEFT(Sheet1!A1,LEN(Sheet1!A1)-1). The result is: 15.6250 which is exactly what I want.
Here is the problem I am having. When the listed dimension is less than 1” and is 5/8” for example I get ###### because I have the cell formatted as a 4 decimal place number. If I change the formatting to number with zero decimal places it becomes 39941 which is how many days it has been from January 1, 1900 to May 8, 2009.
The question is what formula should I use to change the 5/8” imported text so it says 0.6250 and can be used in math formulas? Please keep in mind that the imported text could be a measurement with a small number like 1/16” to a large one such as 284 3/4" and that the imported text “is what it is” and cannot be manually changed or adjusted (because that presents the risk of people creating errors and costing the company money by ordering the wrong material sizes).

I'm having a little problem working with some CSV files that are sent to us by an outside party. There is a field for an invoice number. This number should be a string since it sometimes has alpha characters and sometimes has dashes. But the field is not delimited to indicate this, so when opening these files in Excel, Excel will sometimes convert the numbers to dates. Once they are converted to dates, there is no going back.
The way we have gotten around this is to change the csv extension to txt, then open as a txt file and convert that particular column to a text column. This causes a lot of additional work as the file ultimately needs to be converted back to a CSV.
Ideally, the people creating the CSV files should create them so the invoices column is properly delimited. But that doesn't seem to be possible right now.
Is there a way to create a macro that would make the modification while opening the CSV file, before Excel has a chance to modify those fields?

When opening a .CSV created from a third party software, one of the columns is converted to date format. The numbers are imported in #/# format. and Excel changes most of the numbers to 2-Jan, 3-Jan etc... This would not be that big of an issue if I could simply set it back. Clearing format or changing to text converts it to a 5 digit number.
The only way I have found to get it to work properly thus far is to open a blank sheet and import data and setting the column to text prior to import.
I would like to find a way of opening the CSV file without all the extra steps. Is there a setting that can be turned off?

I have several text boxes on a 'picture' which is the format for a business review. The text boxes are linked to cells behind the picture which picks up company names, cities etc...
Two of the boxes have a phone# and date
The linked cells are formatted correctly but obviously the text boxes, pick up the 'values' not the formats.
is there any way for the textboxes to show the values with the proper format i.e.,

One of the spreadsheets we have here keeps track of reservations booked in the following way.
FG
101/05/200801/08/2008
201/06/200801/09/2008
301/06/200801/07/2008
401/06/200801/06/2008
The date in F is the check in date and the date in Column G is the check out date.
There is another spreadsheet in the same workbook that counts the dates that these people are checked in.
For example:
AB
1
2JanuaryRooms Occupied
310
420
530
640
751
863
972
1081
119
1210
1311
1412
As you can see column B7 has one room because of the fact that the reservation check in of F1 started on the Fifth of January
B8 is Three because reservations 1-3 are checked in on the sixth of January
B9 is 2 because reservations 1-2 are checked in on the seventh of January
B10 is 1 because reservation 2 is checked in on the eighth of January
Please note that F4:G4 does not count on this worksheet due to the fact that they checked out on the same day as check in.
I would love any help you could give on this confusing subject.

Dataset is 220K rows. A small subset follows.
Using an array calc with criterions Day = 1 and Hour = 1 summed on Elapsed Time returns 81 with an average of 11.57 for 7 events of which there are 5 distinct dates.
The function =SUM(IF(D2:D14<>"",1/COUNTIF(D2:D14,D2:D14))) returns the number of distinct dates in the dataset ie 7.
Is it possible to combine these two methods to create an average of elapsed time by day and hour using a denominator of distinct dates for only that combination of dimensions?
I have attempted to calculate an item in a pivot table using a different denominator without success.

I have a column in my data set that consists of dates and times in this format: 2014/08/02 01:46:49 PM. I am trying to convert these dates and times to numbers so that I can actually use these values for calculations and regression analysis. When I click on one of the cells, I get a number that is revealed along with decimals. For example, the cell with 2014/08/02 01:46:49 PM had a stored value of 41853.574. I tried to highlight the entire column of dates + times and click on the format cells button. I selected the number category under number but that did not work. I also tried to use the =DateValue(Cell #) function but that did not allow for distinguishing between the same date but different times.
What are my options for converting these dates and times to numbers that I can work with? Is there a way to get the entire column of dates + times to show each cell's numeric stored value?

1- I dont know why but sometimes excel 2010 converts numbers to dates automatically in my workbook. I use this macro to solve the problem, but since last week it is not working. I get an error: "Method 'NumberFormat' of object 'Range' failed".
2- because it should work in all cells of the workbook, the macro must make changes only in the cells with absolute numbers (ex: 1223) but must not change if in the cell there is a date like 12-may-2012 (numbers with hyphens).
This is my function:
