Wrong DataType Parsed Into Function

Jul 28, 2013

I have a function that starts as follows:

Function Timings(StartTime As Double, EndTime As Double, Times As Range, Calc As Long)

StartTime will refer to a cell in Column A that holds a date and time EndTime will refer to a cell in Column B that holds a date and time Times is the range of cells that hold times of the day I am testing against. The cells are within a range defined called Hours. Calc refers to different criteria that I am testing again. This is a number list between 1 to 5.

The function works well if the cell that StartTime or EndTime refer to cell values that are date/time. If the data is anything different, I get a #VALUE error such as if the cell contents is text. I tried to trap the error to see if the data inputted in the cell is not date/time and thus cannot be converted to a Double but it always throughs up #VALUE and the function seems as though it fails when it . Is there anyway to trap the error of wrong data type in the first the first few lines of code in the function?

Example

Column A Column B Column C Formula
05/01/2013 12:00 06/01/2013 09:00 =Timings(A1,B1,Hours, 1)
25/02/2013 15:00 30/02/2013 14:30 =Timings(A2,B2,Hours, 1)
03/01/2013 16:00 abc =Timings(A3,B3,Hours, 1)

Row 2 will return #VALUE becuase 30/02/2013 14:30 is an invalid date (30th Feb does not exist so Excel seems to pickup as text)

Row 3 will return #VALUE because it is text and cannot be converted to a double data type

IRR Function Is Returning The Wrong Value

Nov 7, 2008

I'm trying to figure out an Internal Rate of Return for a spreadsheet. The answer is supposed to be: 29.42% however I'm getting 25.94%. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in my IRR function on the Profitability worksheet? I'm currently using Excel 2007 by the way.

Mod Function Works Wrong

Dec 28, 2006

I was trying to explain modulus to someone and they wanted to know why you can "flip" symbols mod(-6,7) = 1 in Excel. So I got to explaining that -6 Mod 7 is the same as -6-(|-6/7|)*7 which is how you get 1.

And that's when I realized... |-6/7| = 0 not -1. Then I looked in VBA and sure enough -6 mod 7 = -6. Apparently the problem boils down to the Integer conversion. Excel is performing the integer coversion by rounding down (INT) wheras VBA appears to be using CINT.

So here is how it work out in excel:
-6-(|-6/7|)*7
-6-(|-0.857142857|)*7
-6-(-1)*7
-6--7
-6+7=1

But in VBA you get
-6-(|-6/7|)*7
-6-(|-0.857142857|)*7
-6-(0)*7
-6-0=-6

Look Up Function Is Coming Up With The Wrong Results On Several Items

True/False Datatype

Jul 14, 2008

when you type True into a General formatted Excel cell Excel returns TRUE. This value cannot be formatted to a 1 (or a -1) by applying a different format. Thus, does Excel have a boolean data type? Or is it something else like a numeric value that for whatever reason is not receptive to format changes.

2nd order: month number ascending (ie the first 2 digits of the 6 digit mid: 08, 10 in our example)
3rd order: strike value ascending (ie the number on far right: 45, 45.01 in our example)

Text To Columns Function Picks Wrong Number Format After Conversion

Jun 16, 2014

Using the text to columns option on a comma separated file in csv format leads to the right preview in the text to columns wizard.

The column titled "ATTIC: Zone ..." shows the desired format in the preview window. Please look at the screenshot 1.jpg.

After pushing the finish button to obtain the result the number format gets suddenly changed and differs from the preview.

Again check for the "ATTIC: Zone ..." column as reference: 2.jpg

Is there a menu where one can look up, or specify how to format data to force the right comma placement? What settings might be wrong?

Text And Number Data To Be Parsed (extracted) From Single Column

Aug 24, 2012

I need to split in Excel some thousands of data rows containing text and numbers information of different character length Data to be extracted ( parsed) is stored in a single column( the first one) and needed results look like this:

Data to be extracted
Needed results
Address
Name,Surname
Phone no.
Green Street no 16 Smart town Schmit Anders +3900098787867

[Code] .......

Data is composed by addresses, name of persons and phone numbers. Person's name is has two or three parts, address and phone numbers length is different ( 9 to 12 characters) I need to complete this difficult task (for me, obviously, ) in Excel using a combination of functions and/or multiple operations.

How To Avoid Replace From Changing The Datatype From Text To General

Apr 18, 2013

I am trying to find a way of replacing a whole amount of data, over 1000 items, initially each cell contains this >>> 056001 Not Set, I am trying to remove 'Not Set', but the big problem I am facing is that Excel also removes the leading 0 or zeroes, when it finishes removing ... I tried several things, like changing the column to Text, and then paste the data from another column, because I read the Text format is preserved, nothing, as soon as the column is pasted it changes back to General, if I change it back to Text again, and then apply a Search and Replace, each cell is changed to 56001, which is not what I intended, the only way I have seen it works is if I manually remove the string, then it works and is changed into the text format and number as text, as I intended to

VBA - What Is Wrong With My For Each Next

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value?

Jul 3, 2013

I am trying to use the Vlookup function to return State name based on the corresponding state code.

I have the list of State along with the Codes in adjacent sheet, arranged in ascending order. I am using the Vlookup function to list the State name based on the State code.

Vlookup function: Vlookup(A4,Sheet2.A2:B51,1)

This function returns me a wrong value. It gives "Arkansas" for the state code "AZ", when it should be Arkansas.

Also, if I add "FALSE" as a 4th argument, it returns "#N/A".

Wrong Dates In Database

Apr 18, 2014

When copying data from a website to excel, excel recognizes the dates wrongly.

About half of the dates he sees as: DD/MM/YYYY, while it should be: nothing/MM/DD.

For example: The cell contains the date: 01/04/2029 (The first of April, 2029)

While it should actually be: 04/29 (The 29th of April, no year!)

For all dates it starts with the 1, followed by a month, followed by a year (which consists of the year 2000 + the actual day), which is totally wrong.

About the other half of the cells, it just contains text with the month and the day (which are correct), but excel doesn't recognize this as a day.

For example: The cell contains the text: June 12

When I set the cell format to date (or any other format for that matter), nothing happens, so excel does not see this as a date.

References Goes Wrong After Sorting

Feb 18, 2010

I have a problem with my references when sorting in excel. I have been searching for the problem, but did not found a useful solution.
I'm using excel 2003.

Let me try to explain my problem with a simple exampel.

I have a column with numbers and one with formulas pointing at these.
A B
2 =A1
4 =A2
3 =A3

Now I want to sort column A, and the column B should keep pointing at the original number. So I want this:
A B
2 =A1
3 =A3
4 =A2

But I get this:
A B
2 =A1
3 =A2
4 =A3

This output is what I would expect if I used absolut reference($).

Using offset(B1;0;-1) will work, but I cannot use this, since I will add/delete rows and the reference is not neccessarily next to it. Plus it can be a rather large sheet.

I cannot use dynamically name definition either, because it is intended for other users, and this will be too much work for them. What I basically need is a simple formula they can enter.

My sorting is done via a VBA macro, so if there is anything I can do through macro/VBA that will be okay as well, since I can do this without the user seeing it.

Saving In Wrong Location

ThisFile = Range("AC5").Value

saveName = ThisFile & " - " & ThisFile2
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=saveName

End Sub

This (for reasons I don't understand) saves the file to My Documents by default.

What I would like it to do is save to another folder within my documents as default.

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value

Dec 14, 2006

I have this formula that returns a grade mark for a specific score in a test:

=VLOOKUP(D4,'Grade scale'!$A$34:$B$42,2)

using these values in the lookup table:

Low scoreGrade
0.0% U
25.0% G
35.0% F
45.3% E
55.3% D
65.5% C
72.0% B
78.0% A
85.0% A*

The problem comes where the Grade is A or A* as the Vlookup table can't differentiate the two. Anyone know how to modify the formula so that A and A* are seen as distinct values?
