I have been trying to type a date in a column in MS excel. But excel always reads it as a serial number.
How Can I get it to display the date as it is in date format. I have the next column formatted/ formulated to display the day of the date in the previous column.
Quick question:
If I have a serial date, e.g., 37883, in Excel, how can I convert to 092007, using that exact format?
<snip by admin. Read the rules!>
I have a some dates in a format which are not being converted into the normal date format. So i made this formula to convert it into the normal date format:
=IF(LEN(B218)=10,(MID(B218,4,2)&"/"&LEFT(B218,2)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,IF(LEN(B218)=9,(MID(B218,3,2)&"/"&LEFT(B218,1)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,IF(LEN(B218)=8,(MID(B218,3,1)&"/"&LEFT(B218,1)&"/"&RIGHT(B218,4))+0,"")))
Formula is working fine except on this type of date "9/9/2013"..i also tried an OR formula with mid but didnt get the desired result.These are the type of dates:
12/10/2013
12/9/2013
9/11/2013
9/9/2013
7/25/2013
I have to use data copied as text from a webpage. Some numbers stay with spaces so are recognized as text I think i.e. 3500 will be "3 500".
I think there was a formula to convert that into number or any other way ? Couldn't find it on the forum so far :/
I have a value say £11.50 what i need is for this to be turn in to 1150 no point.
When i try on excel i get it to 115
My dates are coming up in serial format even though I have the cells formatted to date. It doesn't matter which date format I select they all remain as serial dates.
View 4 Replies View Relatedin VBA the RND function generates a random number using uniform distribution (every number is as likely as any other). Is there a function to generate a random number using normal distribution where the numbers closest to the mean are more likely to occure then numbers further away from the mean. I've created the following custom function to generate a random number between two given values using uniform distribution.
Function RandNum(Min As Double, Max As Double) As Double
RandNum = (Max - Min) * Rnd + Min
End Function
I would like to create a random number based on that data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use software that exports date/time stamps in the format of: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss.s
I like to keep the data in this general format so that we can keep it consistent and it can be useful to others using other software.
I recently had to do some date/time stamp manipulations where I added 61 days to a dataset because the data was erroneously set to a diferent calendar. (Still don't know how that happened but it isn't relevent to this issue) When I set up a formula to add 61 days, it appears that it automatically converted it to the excel serial date/time format before adding the 61 days. Now I have a column of data that is mostly general format but has this portion in serial format. How can I get the serial format changed back to general so that the entire column is in the same format?
I am having slight trouble with the formatting of some cells. Every month I will be copying data into a row, the problem is Excel thinks it's a date instead of an integer of some sort.
The value copied will look something like this:
79:42:00
(meaning 79 hours and 42 minutes)
Excel is taking that and interpreting it as:
1/3/1900 7:42:00 AM
Is there an easy way to format this so Excel thinks it's a number (even if 79.7).
I tried to change the format of the cell to "Text", but it changes it to: 3.32083333333333
I have a variable "strDate" that has date in it as numbers ie. 04 2006... I need to change it into mmm-yyyy format eg. Apr 2006
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cannot change the number format in a single sheet of my spreadsheet. I can go to format cells and select colour etc but it will not change the number format.
Another issue on the same sheet is that linked cells i.e cell b3 formula "=A3" displays "=A3" not the actual value in A3. Again, i cannot change the number format of this cell and yes, auto calc is on.
Whilst not wanting to offer a partial explaination (per the rules) just before this happened i was pressing a combitation of Shift+Control+` - not sure if that is relevant.
I want to get the sheet back to its 'normal' working order.
I would like to get random number generator for normal distribution and I’m using:
=NORMINV(RAND(),$B$1,$B$2)
Where B1 is mean (average) and B2 is SD.
This command works, but in the random generating numbers, I’m getting positive and negative numbers (ex. -23,34).
how to change command so I can generate positive only numbers?
i have a column with times of day and need a helper column to show the starting hour. for example, column a1 - 9:53am would like b1 to show 9am or 9. i tried customizing the date format to 'h' only, but when I pivot the table it still shows several 9's

The problem is that GP% needs to be in a percentage format and revenue per product needs to be in number format. 500 is now shown as 50000% or 50% will be shown as 0.5 for example. Is there anyway on changing the format of a cell based on the number?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFormat the number in Column AL to '[hh]:mm' when Column C's value is ="P/T", otherwise format to 'General'
Column C's value is referenced from another sheet in the same workbook via a VLOOKUP function.
Column AL's value is based on an IF formula which goes like this:
=IF($C4="F/T",SUM($AJ4)+($AK4/2),SUM($D4:$AH4))
Basically the above formula asks if Column C's value is F/T then count (because if F/T then the corresponding values in that row are whole numbers). If not, then SUM (because if P/T the corresponding values in that row are set to [hh]:mm format).
I have another sheet in the same workbook which has code (quoted below) which does something similar but I don't understand it enough to get it doing what I want for the sheet in question.

I have searched high and low for a macro that can move cell values to other worksheet based on a variable serial number. I have had limited luck with my search but nothing quite reflects my needs. Any help or suggestions would be great. The way that I envision it to work is simple to say but to hard for me to figure out. I must add that I am fair to good with macros; I am using Windows XP and Excel 2003.
Here is the concept:
-I am trying to track several vehicles, their status and there general locations using a variable serial number and an excel macro. The macro would execute the calculated data on sheet “My Taxi Cars” and the results would appear on a separate worksheet called “Location” that is in the same workbook. Please see attached.
-The serial number is comprised of a cell range starting at A2 thru L2 and then concatenates in M2 it would look something like this 123N1110011011. This serial number would allow me to do simple long-range analysis for each of the vehicles. Also in theory at the end of 30-day period I could “replay” my data.
The Breakdown for the alpha numeric serial reads like this:
1) The 123 is the number of the cab.
2) The “N” is for North, etc. and it would equate to a range of cells on a separate worksheet (“Location”).
3) The Ones and Zeros are just simple yes or no answers to the common questions in the Garage at work.
Once the macro is executed the result would be the taxis number (taxi number only, the rest of the number is stripped off) being placed the correct location based off the serial number. I have no idea if this is possible and I would like to thank you in advance for your help. Thanks.
I understand that there are about 1024 different combination's for a binary number that has ten place values. Maybe the answer is to use VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP, but then that changes my analysis scheme. But if you can just help point my nose in the right direction or show me with one example I can take it the rest of the way.
I maintain a class register in Excel to monitor student attendance. The first row shows the date of the class in the form dd-mm.
I need to identify all dates which fall on a Monday and thought that if I custom formatted a new row as "dddd" and enter the formula =DAY(cell ref) into the cells of this new row it would achieve this- I could easily spot the Mondays for the period under review.
What I'm finding, however, is that the formula seems to incorrectly state that 16th September 2008 is a Monday whereas it's actually a Tuesday- utterly bizarre!
I can get a fix simply by modifying the =DAY() formula by adding 1 to my formula [ie =DAY(A1)+1] but am wondering is this a "so called known issue" with Excel or has anyone else come across it? I have never previously come across this and consider myself to be an above average competency level user of the application.
I want excel formula to calculate the sum the value of partused depends upon serialno repeats where repeats of end of serial no i want result at end of every multiple serial no end cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do with this spreadsheet project,
On the "Master" tab, I would paste in the newest information received from our system weeklywhich is around 2600 rows. I want to then compare the Master sheet to the other tabs and if there is a new Serial Number present in column I, then add that row of data to the next available row at the bottom to the correct tab.
The Orange tabs Fleet Volume PC, Fleet Volume BW, Fleet Volume Duplex will house all countries and all serial numbers but Fleet Volume Color tab will only have Color Serial Numbers for all countries, column J on the Master tab.
So, the same will goes for the USA Volume and CAN Volumes tab, only those serial numbers for that country will falls in these tabs and color only will go in the color tabs. There are 14 other tabs missing from this workbook with other countries, just removed to keep size of file within limits.
From my workbook, rows 29 to 33 on the Master tab are new serial numbers.
Also, I want to highlight the data on the Master, after comparing this Master tab to the other tabs and within the Master highlight in yellow the cells that have new updated information!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to convert a date into a serial number. The serial number must return the format DDDYYNN where DDD is the day of the year, YY is the year, and NN is the sequential build number. As an example, if 10 units are built on 2/6/2013, the serial numbers would be 0371301, 0371302 ...0371310. Cell A1 would contain the current date (2/6/13) in this example. Column B1 - B10 would be the sequential serial numbers generated by the formula.
