My values look like:
3.756897
23.4597861
103.459786
82
5.45667891
29.8975316
I need the first three significant numbers:
3.75
23.4
103
82
5.45
29.8
I used the LEFT function for a while until I started getting numbers over 100 and numbers with 0 decimals.
Does Excel have a function that will return the first x significant numbers? No rounding; just the first three numbers.
I have a column of numbers, all with varying numbers of digits. I want to make them all have only 4 DIGITS in total (regardless of where the decimal is located... so there could be 4,3, 2, 1,or, 0 decimal places). I just want to make everything the same number of digits.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way of displaying results from a worksheet which can range from a few thousand to several million. However I only want to report to a set number of significant figures(5), i.e. if the result is say £25,256,128 I would like to show the resuilt to the first 5 significant figures i.e. £25,256,000, and say £3,508,569 as £3,508,600.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to find a way to take the result of a formula, calculate how many decimal places based on significant figures, then rewrite the formula with the Round function.
=(5-2)/2
result is 1.5 taken to 3 significant figures is 1.50
=Round((5-2)/2),2)
I need to keep the formula in the cell for validation purposes and I need the result truncated to significant figures for accuracy. I am currently using the significant figure formula found on the forum for my data with numbers.
Does anybody know of a special format or a rounding function that displays or rounds a number off to a specific number of significant digits.
Lets say I would like 3 significant digits this would be the results:
0.40019 -> 0.400
6.543 -> 6.54
12.543 -> 12.5
32 -> 32.0
564.7894 -> 565
54387 -> 54400 (or 5.44E+4 to be correct, but i can live with 54400)
How to round to significant figures using excel, its for a question in one of my college assignments and i cant seem to find any information.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to set an Excel formula to calculate rounding based on the criteria listed below?
When rounding, digits to the right of the significant less than five (5) will be truncated. Digits to the right of the significant digit greater than five (5) will cause the significant digit to round up by one (1). If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five(5) and the significant digit is even, the digits are truncated. If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five (5) and the significant digit is odd, the significant digit is rounded up by one (1).
Ex:
0.230,0.231,0.232,0.233,0.234 all round to 0.23
0.235,0.236,0.237,0.238,0.239 all round to 0.24
0.240,0.241,0.242,0.243,0.244 and 0.245 all round to 0.24
0.246,0.247,0.248,0.249 all round to 0.25
Is it possible to specify a number of significant figures (e.g., 3), so that Excel displays only 3 significant figures but RETAINS the full number? For example, take the number 16355.876: is it possible to have Excel display the number as 16400, yet retain the original number 16355.876? I know this is possible when the numbers are less than 1, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with big numbers.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
I am extracting data from a website to excel 2010. my problem is the data contains both text, numbers, and sometimes a combination of both.
e.g. hi im ron for more information you can reach me at 6 five 6 four 5 seven 7 three 2 two..
I need it to look like this 6564577322 or 7 * 0 * 2 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 8 * 6 * 2 * 1...i need to look look the same
How do i first format the numbers written in text into numbers and then show only the numbers in a cell minus the text?
This is what I need:
Columns B, C, D & E are all populated with 3 digit numbers.
I would like column F to automatically populate with any of the 3 digit numbers that share two numbers, i.e.
F2 might look like this (using 00 as the pair):
001, 040
F3 might look like this (using 01 as the pair):
701, 051, 110, 001, 120
F4 might look like this (using 12 as the pair):
123, 721, 281, 912, 112, 120
etc...
I have a text file with rows and columns of numbers ranging from 1-4 digits that I'd like to import/copy into Excel with each number being in its own cell. But whenever I copy/try to import, Excel splits all of the 3-4 digit numbers up into single digit numbers. The text file has 10,000+ columns (each number occupies two columns so I have half of that amount in numbers) and 300+ lines.
Is the file simply too large for Excel to handle or is there a way I can do this?
In 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.
The format of the text in which I need to extract numbers is as follows:
23411268 - 23411270
Need to extract the following:
23411268
23411269
23411270
These numbers have to be listed in three seperate rows.
Say column A has either numbers or text in each cell, I need a macro to only get each number in each cell that is not a duplicate of a number in any previous cell and list each number found down column B.
