Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers (attached File)
Oct 22, 2009In the ID column of the attached excel file whenever I convert the numbers stored as text to numbers it results in a weird transformation.
e.g. an ID of 480610141001 becomes 4.8061E+11. When I do the same process in the name column, which has similar numbers, it will give the correct result following the same process.

Convert Downloaded Web Page Numbers Seen As Text To Numbers
Jan 16, 2008See attached file. A colleague is downloading rows of data from a website which contains a number field Excel is currently treating as Text after being pasted in. My spreadsheet includes just a sample of the many rows of data however as you can see the VALUE function refuses to convert these text values to numbers. How these might be converted and why the VALUE function refuses to work in this case?

Aug 26, 2006The back story is that from a system we use, when you download data from inside it, Excel treats most of the cells with a "Number Stored As Text" error. I had problems with this and it was just generally annoying so I wrote the below macro that converts each of the cells back to general cells and reinputs the data, essentially reseting the cell and keeping the data. Being that this is a loop, it takes a good while to run if alot of data was downloaded. Any idea's on how to speed it up besides screen updating? Note, other stuff happens in the first macro, but it is just cosmetic non-intensive things. It calls the second macro because I wanted them seperate should I want to just run the second.
Sub CleanData()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
' Find the Right most cell and the Bottom most cell and
' run the macro from A1 to this cell recursively
Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Select
Col = Selection.Column
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
Row = Selection.Row
Range("A2").Select
Range("A1", Cells(Row, Col)).Select
Application.Run ("FixTextAsNumberError")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'
End Sub..............
Convert Numbers As Text To True Numbers
Sep 29, 2007I have the following two macros that I use daily:
Public Sub add_tick_marks()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection
If Not IsError(c.Value) Then
If Left(c.Value, 1) <> "'" And c.Value <> "" Then
If InStr(c.Value, "E+") > 0 Then
c.Value = "'" & c.Formula
Else
I use these because I frequently copy billing account numbers that have leading zeros from some proprietary software and work with them in Excel. I need the leading zeros to facilitate VLookUp's. When I paste the data into Excel it truncates the leading zeros. My typical procedure is:
1. Copy a column of values from our proprietary software
2. Paste it in Excel (Ctrl+V)
3. While newly pasted data is still selected I hit Ctrl+1 which brings up the Format Cells form.
4. I double click "Text"
5. I re-paste into Excel (Ctrl+V)
6. I run my macro to add tic marks to the values so the leading zeros never get lost.
The problem occurs when I copy multiple columns of data and paste it in Excel. If one of the columns of data contains numbers or currency then I select that range of values and run the macro to get rid of the tic marks. After running the macro the numbers are still treated as text. When I select a range of those values and right-click on the status bar and select " Sum" there is no value. No big deal, I just highlight them and format the cells as numbers or currency. But after formatting them as numbers or currency, they retain their format as text until I click in the formula bar for each individual cell and hit enter, at which time they take on the number or currency format I have chosen and the sum can then be displayed in the status bar.
How can I force the formatting I chose to take effect on the data immediately without me having to individually "fake change" the data in each cell?

Jun 12, 2007Working with an inherited spreadsheet which has massive amounts of numbers formatted $US to 2 decimals. Can't manipulate the data: all formulas to sum groups of the numbers yield zero and formulas to multiply or divide them yield "#VALUE" error message. I guess the data is text (is left justified) although there's no apostrophe visible in the formula bar. Anybody know how I can convert these to numbers?

A Macro To Convert All Such Text To Numbers?
Feb 26, 2014I am extracting a large set of numbers forming various tables from SAP. These numbers are not recognized as numbers and have Formula error. Only way to further process them is to convert them to number using 'Error Checking' option from 'Formula' Tab.
I need a macro to convert all such text to numbers, note there are no other formula errors.
I have other macro to delete rows, columns, take sum and create new Summary Table from the data but that does not work until I manually convert text to numbers.
how to have the macro globally i.e, I need to only open the extracted data in excel and be able to run the Macros. Presently I open the extracted data and also open the master macro-enabled file to access the macro.
Conditionally Convert Text To Numbers In VB
Jan 18, 2012I am attempting to automate a daily extract for account transactions. This extract ranges from 100 - 15000 lines on any given day. Below is an example of my data:
Account Action to be taken
8523 Needs to be converted to a number
84A2 No action needed
8523 Needs to be converted to a number
0749 Needs to remain as text stored as a number
2GP1 No action needed
8181 Needs to be converted to a number
0489 Needs to remain as text stored as a number
[code]...
As you can see, I have three types of data:
1) accounts with leading zeros which need to be stored as text
2) accounts with mixed formats which can remain as text
3) accounts that are purely numerical without leading zeros. I need to convert these from text to numbers.
Since the extract can be up to 15000 lines long, going through the data to manually convert the appropriate cells from text to numbers is unreasonable, especially when this has to be done daily.
Is it possible to script this task? I've tried a number of things, but unfortunately my knowledge of VB isn't very extensive. This is the best that I've come up with:
Code:
LastRow = Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, "a").Value "0*" Then
Cells(i, "a").Format.General
End If
Next
But I'm failing on the line highlighted in red.
Convert Numbers Into Text When Imported And Autofill

Convert Numbers To Specifically Formatted Text?
Feb 6, 2014To input high volumes of dates I change the number format of cells to "00/00/00" so I can key mm/dd/yy without having to hit the slash key. In order to convert these values into an actual date, I've been using the =TEXT function because it allows me to format the text as "00-00-00" which preserves the numbers but inserts a hyphen between each set. From there I use text to columns to break each pair into its own column, and use the =DATE function to combine all 3 into a date.
Is there a way to automate this conversion process in VBA? Alternatively, I'd be open to a different method to input dates in the mm/dd/yy format without having to press the slash key.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCannot Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Number Format
Dec 14, 2009There is probably a really easy answer to this question but I cannot seem to figure it out. I need to calculate the sum of pages faxed on a fax report at my office on an excel spreadsheet which is downloaded from our server. It appears the file is not meant to be used in excel but it downloads as an "*.xls" file anyway. When I open the file I receive this message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FaxCetailReport.xls', is in a different format then specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
The file is comnig from a trusted source so I select "Yes" and it opens just fine. There are just over 50 rows of info, one of them being the number of pages. In a blank cell I enter "=SUM(select rows)" and the result is a "0". I have converted the cells to the "number" format, no change. When I right click on the cells and select format, the protection tab on the right has the check box "Locked" checked and unchecking it does nothing, it is checked as soon as you go back in to the protection tab.
The only way around this is to manually retype the numbers in a cell next to the pages column, which is ok for 50 numbers, but I have some sheets where there is over 1,000 entries.
Convert Imported Values, Being Seen As Text, To True Numbers
Jan 28, 2010I have a document passed to me that includes information pulled from an internal system.
I want to use some basic formulas to show Totals, averages etc.
However, the SUM function does not work on the data provided unless I select the cell (As if to edit the text) and the press enter.
Is there a quicker way of selecting all of the cells in Column A for example and performing this function on mass, rather than selecting each cell individually.
I have attahced a similar sample copy - My SUM formula is show in cell B15.

Convert To Numbers
Sep 16, 2009I have a workbook full of six digit numbers that I need to manipulate but can't. They have been data-dumped from a server and copied as non-numeric values.
I have tried EVERYTHING I could find on how to convert these column cells to numeric fields:
Multiplying by 1 - didn't work
VBA Code - For Each xCell In Range("a1:a1012")
xCell.Value = xCell.Value
Next xCell -didn't work
Format Cells as numbers - didn't work
Format Cells as general - didn't work
Remove Spaces - didn't work
Text to Columns - didn't work
This is how the data is stored.

Convert Array Into Text And Remove Duplicate Entries From Text In Cell?
Jun 12, 2014I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
Macro To Automatically Convert PrtScr Image Based Text To Real Text In Cell
Mar 22, 2014Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.
