Weird Problems & How To Fix It

Mar 17, 2009

I have some weird problems that I don't know how to fix (or even explain). Mostly, my code is good and works well in all my spreadsheets but I find myself trying to debug stuff that should be working, but isn't working 100% as it should.

For example, I have a cell that counts information using

=NB($A$8:$A$1000)
BTW: NB is COUNT in french, just so you know...

The weird problem is, it seems to skip the first 10-15-20 rows; it doesn't count them. So the total in the cell should be around 150, but it's 129?...
Can someone give me an alternative code to count cells?

Weird(?) Sort Order

May 30, 2008

I have a client with a list of books, and they are trying to sort a column in a sheet that has LC classification codes. When just doing a normal A-Z sort, it looks like this:

RJ 41 .D53 F54 2005
RJ 416 .L4 C52 1999
RJ 420 .D5T97 2003
RJ 421 .H385 2006
RJ 426 .H43 P43 2005
RJ 431 .M37 2003
RJ 436 .A8 R33 2006
RJ 436 .A8 T498 2001
RJ 436 .A8 T87 2003
RJ 45 .N4 2000
RJ 45 .N418 2006
RJ 45 .R92 1998
RJ 47 .E39 2001
RJ 48 .H37 2000
RJ 48 .H37 2002
RJ 48.2 .C537 2004
RJ 48.2 .P347 2005
RJ 48.2 .P385 2005
RJ 48.2 .R93 2003
RJ 480 .P34 2005
RJ 482 .R48 L448 2004
RJ 486 .C45 2000

What is weird about it is that I would think that the numbers after the RJ would be in numeric order but it seems to be treating them as codes. So, instead of RJ 41, then RJ 45, it goes on with a series of things that start with RJ 41. Is it normal for this to happen, or is there a way to change it so that it goes 41, 45, 47, 48, then 416, 420, etc.

Weird Character In Cell Using VbCrLf

Sep 6, 2009

In the following code snippet;

strFill = "Query for" & strCommName
strFill = strFill & vbCrLf & strPitHrs
strFill = strFill & vbCrLf & "This query has a rating of"

The cell output is formatted this way;
"Query for SP500
9:30-4:15 EST
This query has a rating of"

And thats how the text shows if you copy and paste it BUT in the cell there is a square box at the end of each of the first two lines. Is the vbCrLf causing that? If so what should I be using instead so the text in the cell shows exactly like the bolded text above

Oct 21, 2008

and specified that its a delimited text and the delimiter is a comma ",". One of the columns in the row has got a pretty long text and contains certain new line characters as well. After extracting the CSV the data in this particular column is treated as a different data entries.

Somebody please help. I have added the file in xls format since csv upload is not permitted.

Validation And Lookup Function Are Working Weird

Sep 2, 2009

There is a range of quarters and relevant dates like from and till - means if you have 1 Q 2009 => it means from 01.01.09 till 31.03.09. I would like to have following in my excel. There is a validation for selecting Q from list, once you select Q, there is LOOKUP function displaying from and till dates. But however it's not working, in same cases it's working, but in most cases the from/till period is not relevant to selected quarter.

Weird File Open/Save As Behavior

Dec 12, 2005

A client of ours has one particular file that has some very strange behavior as described below. This only occurs with the one particular file and the behavior is consistent across different PC's in both their office and ours. All other Excel files in both offices work fine. Here's what happens:

- you can use Windows Explorer to copy the file between drives without
a problem (as expected)

- if you open the file in Excel on one drive then save it back to that
same drive with either the same file name or a different file name, the
file works fine (as expected)

- if you open the file in Excel on one drive then do a "Save As" to
save it to a *different* drive with either the same file name or a
different file name (in default .xls format), the new file causes
errors in Excel every time you open it as per below (weird!)

- even if you do a "Save As" and choose a different format eg Excel
97-2003 or Excel 95, the error behavior is consistent (weird!).............
