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 :/
in 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 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.
I am importing a list of values from a text file. Some of the values have the letter "E" embedded in the string. For example one of the imported values is "29875E100". Excel is automatically converting this into scentific notation. Is there a way to avoid this?
I get a dump that is in the form xxxx gbps or xxxx mbps (gigabits and megabits). I'd like to either use a formula or VBA code to convert this to mbps in another column.
I have a list of phone numbers in which name of the person and phone numbers are joined together. I would like to separate the name and phone number. Is there any way to do that. Example: I have the text like George9898989898, now i want it to appear as George 9898989898.
In my worksheet there is a column with values of either 3 or 4 numbers. If the value only has 3 numbers I would like to add a space before the first number, to ensure the proper line-up when saving the sheet as a text file. How can I do this (conditional formatting or macro??)
I have a few hundred cells that I would like to combine. Each cell contains a six digit code number. I would like to combine the cells with a semicolon and a space between each code number.
I can do this with the CONCATENATE function but it will take too long.
I am creating a review sheet/skill matrix using excel and need to be able to convert a particular selection to a number in the adjacent cell to work out the users efficiency (long story that i wont bore you with)
So basically i have a question/statement in cell A and a drop down answer menu in cell B containing up to 5 possible answers (very poor, poor, ok, good, very good). In cell C i would like to insert a formula that allocates a number dependant on the selection in cell B. So if the user selects very poor in cell B cell C states 1, if cell B has poor selected then cell C states 2 etc etc
I am currently trying to find an easy way to convert cell references to number format. The issue I'm having is when compiling a small formula (CONCATENATE) as part of a macro in order to produce a unique reference number to a column of data (1000's of cells long) I come accross the age old number stored as text issue after the macro has converted the formula to values.
Have tried editing the macro to number stored as text = false which removes the annoying little red triangle but the vlookup functions still wont read the values. My current solution is to highlight the entirity of the data and convert to number which takes a long long time as there are multiple lookups assigned to the cells, which for my current project is not acceptable.
Am looking for a quick solution, (with no interaction required) something that would convert the cells to the format required either before the formula is assigned and overwritten by values or just after. Currently I'm stumped.
I have a formula which extracts a number from a text string.
The text string is in A2 - the formula which extracts the number is in B2
However - when I copy the data in B2 and paste values to another sheet / cell - the forumla is as text - and I get the little green corner symbol and I have to convert to number.
Some VBA code - that will automatically convert my extracted "number" - to an actual number in number format.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet to keep track of an online racing league that I'm in. I have created columns for the racers, and rows for the races. What I would like to do is type in 1st, and it represent the number 13 for when I do an autosum at the bottom of that column. It would be easier for me to type in the position place, instead of the points value. The position place will always carry the name numeric value. Here is what I have so far:
I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.
I have some values (I don't know the original format) that I have to convert into a numbers but I can't to that. I tried with value function, but #VALUE! error appear.
I tried with format cells but everything I do is useless. I tried to eliminate €, but the problems remain.
On my Excel spreadsheet, I have a TEXT value in A1 that is all numbers, i.e. "000065200". I would like to write some VBA code that changes A1 to the numeric value . How do I do this?
I am trying to compile data from several different managers within my company. They all have similar workbooks, and have been entering time in a number format. Currently they have values that look like this:
Excel - Book1___Running: 12.0 : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutA1=ABCD11.351.18 22.012.23 32.333.05 44.124.22 Sheet1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
However, the data should appear as this:
Excel - Book1___Running: 12.0 : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutD1=DEFG101:3501:18 202:0102:23 302:3303:05 404:1204:22 Sheet1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
So, in any instance the period or decimal point should be a colon and the format of the cells should be in [m]:ss.
I want to be able to select a range within the workbook and run a macro that will convert the numbers into the "[m]:ss format.
on my Excel spreadsheet, I have a TEXT value in A1 that is all numbers, i.e. "000065200". I would like to write some VBA code that changes A1 to the numeric value .
I need to convert some text to a number. I was wondering if there is a way to do it in Excel. Like, for example, the date 3/14/2006 can be converted to 38790. Is there any function in Excel that can convert a word to a number?
Example would be (numbers are totally random)
md_bla_bla_02 would convert to something like 3452615261502
I have text amount in L55 column. The amount is auto summed amount. Example, $ 5081.16
Now in C59 column (total FOB) I have to write the amount in text manually. Any formula to make the amount converted in text automatically??? I badly need this. Attaching image.
THE Format of text amount has to be like below.
ex: FIVE THOUSAND EIGHTY ONE AND SIXTEEN CENTS ONLY.
It has to be caps locked, there will be and between cents and main amount, there wil be cents after that. Attaching image.
I am pulling out information from a cell using =RIGHT(C2,4). It gives me 6-2 in the cell, which is what I want. Now I want to sum the cell but how to do it. I have tried converting it but it doesn't work, I tried pulling out each digit, but that didn't work.
Ideally, I would like a formula that could convert cell A1 into a result in one cell.
