I require a custom data validation formula to limit cell value to maximum of 4 decimal places.
0.0001 ok
0.02 ok
0.3 ok
0.12345 fail
0.123456 fail etc
content from form is captured via formulas to a CIMLoad format on another tab
Users keep entering four to six decimal places in weight value
I need to limit the cell to either whole numbers, or a maximum of 2 decimal places
The cell is formatted to two decimal places, but when you activate the cell it shows the full value they entered, and so does my CIMLoad
How to I limit the value in this cell to whole numbers or numbers with a maximum of two decimal places?
How do you restrict a user to only be able to enter up to 2 decimal places in a cell without it automatically rounding for them?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way I can get excel (2007) to limit itself to 2 decimal places for all numbers entered? So effectively I don't want use the formulas TRUNC or ROUND (or any other formula) but I would like rather excel to behave like my calculator where I can limit the decimals to 2 no matter how many I input.
In other words, every time a input a number, excel will round it up automatically to 2 decimal places and the number available will have 2 decimals only. Is there any option hidden somewhere in the Excel options that I couldn't find?
Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need a formula to take a number with several decimal places and round it up to two decimal places to either .33, .66 or, .00 if its above .66.
For example, 4.23423423423423 will be 4.33
4.43453453533434 will be 4.66
4.8353453453 will be 5.00
Lets say the number is in cell A1. What formula would do this?
If you look at the attached file in Column E line 47 you will see that it displays
373.97. However if you look in the formula bar it shows 373.9694. I am trying to make it so that the formula bar shows the same number as in the cell. Any idea on how to do this? I have tried everything I know how to do, which is not much.
i have lets say a table with rows that contain the following data.
SKU - PRICE - SALEPRICE - DESCRIPTION - SALEDESCRIPTION
What I am trying to do, is to make a concat formula that says:
SALEDESCRIPTION = DESCRIPTION+price was+PRICE+now+SALEPRICE
In essence so that i can simply pull down the formula, and all our product descriptions have 'special offer, was xx (price) is now xx (sale price).
This works fine, except that in the SALEDESCRIPTION, the amounts from the price and saleprice fields are being brought over without decimal places and without currency symbol.
I have tried formatting those two columns as currency or accounting but neither works.
I am converting values from SAE to Metric and wish to retain the decimal places of the SAE value before converting.
My code below converts nicely but doesnt maintain decimal places.
What do I need to add to this code to set the decimal places to zero?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a vba macro that takes data from one workbook and pastes it into another workbook. In doing this I have declared a few variables of type single (I only need two decimal precision). However, when I copy the values from the cells on the source workbook and paste them into the target workbook, the numbers end up having 12 decimal places. Ultimately, this extra precision causes my totals to be off by .01 or more after a while. I have tried rounding the number as I pull it off the source workbook into the variable, but that didn't matter. How do I solve this problem? Code for pulling data from source workbook:...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of creating a template in excel with certain restrictions on the information that can be added to it. I've hunted several sites and forums to try and find a solution but find it difficult to see the best ones for my project. The template is roughly made up of say 10 references to large boxes, each box can hold smaller boxes. The smaller boxes vary in size. For example the large box is 60 inches long smaller boxes vary between 20 inches and 40 inches, can excel be made to tell me an error if i try to put 2 x 40 boxes in columns refering to 1 of the larger boxes as it exceed the maximum length of 60 inches?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am doing some calculations via Excel, and I have found that I get different results using a calculator. I know that by formatting the number, I can show as many or as little decimal places as I like in any cell, but can anyone tell me how many decimal places Excel actually uses when it's carrying out calculations? I have a feeling that the Excel results I'm getting might be more accurate than my calculator ones.
View 2 Replies View Relatedif I change the formatting of a cell to 2 decimal places, it appears as two decimal places (as it should) for example $88.88888 will show as $88.88
However, when I use this data in another application that displays this data it will display as 88.88888 still. I need to actually take the value and truncate it to 88.88 eg 8.8888888 will become 8.88
I have been using trunc by hand and wanted to try and find out if there is a way that I could write some sort of macro to do this for me each time.
How do I stop a user from entering more than 2 decimal places?
If I format the cell to "0.00" I can still type in 1234.1234 and it will display 1234.12.
If I select that cell, the value in the formula bar is still 1234.1234.
Is there a function in VBA that lets me increment or decrement the number of decimals of a particular cell? let's say i got a cell value of 7.123456 but excel only displays 7 on the cell. What if i want excel to display only 7.123? How can I specify the number of decimals i want on a particular cell (in this case 3)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to convert a column of numbers currently formatted with 2 decimal places e.g. 112.12 to 4 decimal places (without the decimal point).

I have a list of cells that has two values concatenated. The first I would like to round to 2 decimal places, and the second is always a integer
Consider this formula..
Code:
=IF(SUMIFS('Analysis Data'!$I$5:$I$1840,'Analysis Data'!$C$5:$C$1840,3,'Analysis Data'!$E$5:$E$1840,1)=0,0,SUMIFS('Analysis Data'!$I$5:$I$1840,'Analysis Data'!$C$5:$C$1840,3,'Analysis Data'!$E$5:$E$1840,1)/COUNTIFS('Analysis Data'!$C$5:$C$1840,3,'Analysis Data'!$E$5:$E$1840,1,'Analysis Data'!$I$5:$I$1840,">0"))
&"("&COUNTIFS('Analysis Data'!$C$5:$C$1840,3,'Analysis Data'!$E$5:$E$1840,1,'Analysis Data'!$I$5:$I$1840,">0")&")"
In one cell this yields the value;
2.42553191489362(47)
In another it yields 2.975(40)
and so on..
I would like to format it to display as 2.43(47) and 2.98(40)
FWIW this means average of 2.43 games refereed per session in 47 sessions of refereeing.
When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pivot table of values displaying agency's performance based on their sales percentage to target. When the race is 'loose', and all companies are 1 or more percentage point away from each other, I format the values without decimal places. If two agencies appear tied, I add a decimal place to seperate them. Occasionally the race is really tight and I have to increase the format to two decimal places to seperate them. how to do this automatically?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was a way of reducing the maximum characters allowed in a cell reference.
I am creating a form which Bank details need to be entered and would like to only allow a possible 16 characters.
I was going to use the following to test that a number has no more than two decimal places,
Code:
If Int(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8) * 100) ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8) * 100 Then
However it is rather mysteringly failing when activecell = 16.99 or 17.99; on testing it appears that vba is evaluating Int(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8) * 100) to equal 1698 or 1798

And if they count 7.50 cents in quarters and enter 750 in cell it automatically would convert it to 7.50.

I need cell H18 to look at cell F4, and if the value in cell F4 is 'CFB', I need validation to limit the entry in cell H18 to the values in a named range 'pripro' to populate. That part I know how to do. (=pripro)
But if the value in F4 is CCP, I need H18 to allow anything. I'm having trouble adding this to the first part.
