I have a spreadsheet that we use to generate visual data, with very small column widths. I have a column width of 1 at the moment, and some data displays, while some doesn't. I want it to show a number which appears every 5th column, without having to merge and center each set. I used to use a macro to merge and center across the data set but the data set length is now dynamic so that is difficult.
View 1 RepliesMy data currently looks like this: 2iiaRXl.jpg
I would like to render it into something like this: TZ1ibNb.jpg
I tried to use pivot tables but I couldn't get it to look right: Jyn1CKl.jpg. If possible, I want the companys' ratings to be displayed along each corresponding year row, similar to the picture in the second link.
Without using a copy/paste macro, is there a way to display the text and its formatting from another cell? Obviously, the usual formula "= A2" only brings the text from that cell. Example:
A3: un-am-big-u-ous
G4: = A3 (but I want the font formatting used here as well)
I have Excel 2000, recently when I format a cell to display mm/dd/yyyy and enter mm/dd/yy, it is displaying dd/mm/yyyy. Or it starts out correctly and during a future opening of file it displays incorrectly.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have attached the spreadsheet for reference. All other sheets pull information from the WHITE sheet.
I want the columns for unit price, discount and total to be set to two decimal places but I also don't want it to show anything if the field has a 0 value (so if i only have a few items I don't get lots of o's).
To get the field to not display a 0 if it is empty on the WHITE sheet I have been using "0;-0;;@" which I found on the net. If I use this then it negates the two decimal places.
This also includes the WHITE sheet.
I have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1
1Jon
2Bob
3Fred
Week2
1FredUp 2
2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?
I have a credit card payment estimation sheet that i am trying to set up a cell that will display the same data as the last cell in columb A that the IF function displays true. I have attached a sample of what i have so far. Would like the data do display in the yellow cell with the red border. File is in Excell 2007 Format.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to analyse a whole heap of data generated by an image analysis package. The data is exported out in to excel, I then need to be able ot rearange it a bit and export it out to another program.
I have attached a smaller version of the data as an example. The example data set only contains 3 image planes with ~100 entries for each. A full data set contains 96 planes and ~2000 entries each.
So what i want to do.
I want to setup a workbook i can dump this data into and have it spread everything out over 96 different sheets (1 for each plane).
I can get it to do it for the first lot of data using a IF command like =IF('Object Data'!B:B=1,'Object Data'!D3,)
But that only really works for the first plane, as the starting cell for plane 2 is always going to be different.
So what i need is a formula that will say: look at the plane column, if it equals a certain value print out the value for the other cells in that row.
Is that possible?
Column L14 - L47 is not very wide on my spreadsheet because I wanted the whole sheet to be in view when you look at it on the screen. But there will be times when the user needs to put quite a bit of information in there. The cell will let you keep typing as long as you want, but if you don't have any information in the cell to the left of it, then the information spills over into those cells.
I don't like the look of that. Is it possible to make the cell automatically populate a drop down type box if the information is longer than the cell. Then have the cell display normal when you click out of it, whith a little arrow in the bottom right hand corner of the cell to tell the user that there is more information in that cell, they just have to click on it.
Is it possible to format the message box display? I need to display currency format, how can this be done?

If cell D4 has a 90 or above, I want cell C4 to highlight in green, but I also want the cell to display the word green. I know how to do the former, but the latter perplexes me a bit.
My question is a display/ chart format question. I need to convey what I am showing on this chart in a less "busy" fashion. Is there a way to display the data in an easier to read and see format? In particular, is having both averages on the chart in the same format an issue?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI cant seem to work around this in excel.
For example.
I got work sheet with all data, and i need something like, if cell A1 = Left, and cell A2 = right, display only a range of data, say all data in row P to R and row U to W only accordingly to the criteria i set in a new worksheet in same workbook. And i need the display data to update automatically everytime i change the criteria.
I wonder if the following is possible in the worksheet_open event. I want to be able to open my worksheet and see via a message box all the important features I need to look at.
Using column AG,
Take the cells that are conditionally formatted to red, take the corresponding cells in column A & B and output this
information in a message box.
Example:....
i m wanting Cell B1 to display true if any of the values in column C match otherwise I want to display false.
A 1
B 0
C 0
D 0
But I can't determine how to get this done.
I am trying to create a formula which will allow me to type a word in a cell on the Main sheet, and then pull any row from multiple sheets and display them on the Main sheet. For example, my sheet named Main looks like this:
A B C D E
1 Query:
2 Fruit Store Cost Mode Date
And there's a sheet for each month with the same format and different data:
A B C D E
1 Fruit Store Cost Mode Date
2 Apple Dominicks 1.99 Bagged 3/16/2014
3 Apple Piggly Wiggly 2.19 Ala Carte 3/14/2014

... and so on. On my main sheet in Cell B1, I want to type a fruit name, such as Banana, and have every row in every sheet with Banana in column A,pulled and displayed on the Main sheet. Firstly, is this even possible with a macro?
Can i put into the cells B38-AF38, that would display the sum of B20:AF20 + B24:AF24 + B28:AF28 + B32:AF32 +B36:AF36 in a h:mm format.
When imputing the data into a cell in a h:mm format, I need it to display in that cell and formula bar the h:mm format without having to put an apostrophe in front of "h" or ":mm" value. Once complete, this form is going to go to other trainers to use on their computers and I dont think they would remember to keep putting an apostrophe before the data.
Example:
B20= 1:15 (1h15m) NOT 1:15:00 AM
B24= :30 (30min)
B28= :45 (45min)
B32= 1:45 (1h45m) NOT 1:45:00 AM
B38= 4:15 (4h15min)
I have attached a copy of the form for better clarification.
It doesnt seem to be complicated, but it's certainly a lot more than I thought.
I can't figure out how to use the custom number formatting to get 20130522A to display as 2013 05 22A. I don't care if it has to be 2013 05 22 A, the extra space is fine.
I have been googling and trying different things and I cant get anything to work. All of the characters can be text, there will always be 4 characters, a space, 2 characters, a space, and the remaining 3 characters. It seems as though it should be so simple to add two spaces into a fixed length string, but I guess not.
I have a worksheet with a lot of different conditions applied to a lot of cells. I'd like to do some housekeeping, but to do that, I would like a clear and complete list of all cells that have conditional formats attached to them, and what the formula/criteria is for applying said format. I don't even care what the formatting is, but that would be nice too.
So, when I go to my "Conditional Formatting" screen, I get something like:
Now, this doesn't show me much of anything about what the formula actually is. I need to select it and look around. I'd rather just get a full listing of what the rule says...
And where I might have the same rule applied to different ranges of cells And so on.
I have a range of cells with numeric values or blanks. I set up a Conditional Formatting rule with this range selected: New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Format only cells with: Blanks; then I set the formatting to a light green fill and on the Number tab > Category = Custom > Type: "blank"
The blank fields get the light green fill, but no text; that is, the value displayed is still blank.
I go back to edit the CF rule and change Blanks to No Blanks. The results are what I expect: the cells with numbers display the text blank and have a green fill; the blank cells have no fill (white).
This is my testing criteria. I eventually want the empty cells to display 0 (zero). I tried setting Custom > Type: 0 (the number placeholder zero) and Type: "0" (literally the number zero), and neither works.
I have tried this with Format only cells with Cell Value equal to [the address of a blank cell].
I tried to set the value as "" but kept getting =""""; and ="" became ="=""" ???
I have tried this with Use a Formula... using the len()=0, isblank(), and other approaches, all with the same results.
I also made sure the option [x] Show a zero in cells that have a zero value is checked.
With all approaches to identifying the blank cells, they ARE obviously being recognized as blank values: the fill color is being applied to the right cells; and when Not Blank is the criterion (or a negation of a formula), the blank ones are not formatted. But blank cells will not display the text as defined in the Custom Formatting.
And this isn't an issue of "If the cell displays 'blank' it's no longer blank, so the rule doesn't apply" - HERE'S WHY: I set up a second CF rule that sets the Font to red when the value is greater than zero and had this CF rule follow the CF rule for No Blanks (the test above that works). Cells with positive numbers displayed blank in red, cells with zeros or negative numbers displayed blank in black. This clarified that the actual value of the cell is being evaluated, not the displayed value after Custom formatting is applied.
I had below data in excel which i need in one cell with some formatting. I had lots of lines like this, some of the input are below
JT12345
JT12346
SB06
SB07
SB 08
SB 09
I want output in one cell say in A1 cell like 'JT12345','JT12346','SB 06','SB 07','SB 08','SB 09'
Sometime the data might be only 6 letter or 4 letter or 4 letter with space in middle.
I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to do some conversions. For instance, I would like to know how to convert a decimal number like this:
1.800
which is a ratio of 1.800:1 to display like this:
9:5
So, when the 1st value changes to something like this:
1.778
It would be displayed like this:
16:9
Likewise, a ratio of 1.333:1 would be displayed as 4:3.
I also don't want it display in Time format as Excel has a habit of converting values with colons to time format.
When using the format cell function, I have found some cells don't respond to the format until I enter and exit the cell (or edit). Other cells with the same data change when formatting is applied. The cell format is being changed from text to decimcal number. I have a few thousand records and about 30 cells and about half of them change when the format is applied. It would be impossible to manually edit each non-responsive cell to change the format.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to change the color of fill in a cell if there are 3 occurrences in cells. Attached is a sample.
In the attachment, if the cells A2, D2, G2 all have a number "1" in them I would like cell K2 to have a color fill for the cell.
The same would be for the other cells, if B2, E2, H2 all have the number "1", K2 should have a fill in the cell as well, same as if C2, F2, I2 have a number "1", fill K2.
I only want the fill color to be in cell K2 if all 3 of the cells, ex: A2, D2, G2 have a "1" in them. Also, some of the other cells may have a number "1" in them but I would not want them counted unless it is 3 of the consecutive cells.
I have a piece of code that runs through various excel files and takes the data (minus the header) and pastes that into a separate workbook. The piece of code that does the actual copying i think is this (i have used code from the msdn website)
Code:
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value
I have tried replacing the sourceRange.Value with sourceRange.Text however when i do that it will copy nothing any more.
I have a spreadsheet where I have a column of dates and I want conditional formatting to highlight the cell red if the date is less than or equal to today but if the cell is blank to do nothing.
At the moment I have the following formatting applied using the "format only cells that contain" option I have cell value less than or equal to =TODAY() except that obviously highlights every cell red that doesn't contain a date. Is there another conditional format I can apply in addition to this that will not highlight the blank cells ?
I have inherited a monstrous speadsheet on which all data appears on a single sheet rather than being broken up across several sheets in some logical fashion.
One portion of this monster is a set of quite a few form letters, each of which reference various cells elsewhere in the spreadsheet.
I want to move all of these letters, together, to another tabbed sheet as a first step in reorganizing the monster.
Simply copying and pasting the cells or columns doesn't work. It fails in different ways depending on which pasting options I employ.
A very simplified version of my problem appears on the 5 sheets of the attached file, with what I hope is just enough further detail about the difficulty.
By the way, I also tried using the "Insert Copied Cells" option when pasting but since this failed with the exact same results as one of the other options I didn't include the results in the example shreadsheet.
I have a table that is a list for validating values in a column .what I want to do is instead of getting an error message anf stopping if the entered value is not valid the cells become red.
