Format Numbers Into Amounts
Nov 13, 2008
For example: I have a spreadsheet with a column that has numbers such as 48600. When I go to format it into currency, etc. I select the decimal to move 2 places. Although it keeps giving me $48,600.00. I dont want that. I want it to put $486.00.
When I try to increase or decrease a decimal, it wont do anything until I have a decimal already in the number. So then I took 48600.00 and tried to increase/decrease the decimal, but it gives me either 48600.00000 or 48600. What I need is to make my number 48600 $486.00

I have dollar amounts that I need to distribute amongst varying numbers of columns and not have have the total distributed be over or under the original amount by any number of cents. When I simply divide the dollar amount by the number of columns, the total of those columns can sometimes be more or less than the original dollar amount by a few cents.
e.g.
Dollar # of A B C All Columns
Amount Columns Total
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$25.05 2 $12.53 $12.53 $25.06
$11.47 3 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $11.46
$25.05 divided into 2 columns gives $12.53 in Column A and $12.53 in Column B. Total of Columns A and B is $25.06. Over by a penny.
$11.47 divided into 3 columns gives $3.82 in Columns A through C. Total of Columns A through C is $41.46. Under by a penny.
I know I could simply always add or take away the pennies from one column, but I would prefer the process to be random or formulated in such a way that the Column to which the extra pennies are added to or taken away from differs in order to be "fair to each column".

I have tried to write code to format numbers to zero decimal places as well as to justify the format as the zeroes appears as 00000000 when imported.
I need the macro to do this on the first 7 sheets.
I also need ------- lines and ) to be cleared on the first 7 sheets.
I have attached sample data and my code below
Code:
Sub Format_Data()
Dim Cnt As Long, i As Long
Cnt = Sheets.Count
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For i = Cnt To 7
Range("F:H").Select
With Sheets(i)
[code]....

How to format different numbers to the same format (as text). Mainly I need code that would format numbers like 25, 25.36 or 254.60 to numbers looking like this 000002500, 000002536, 000025460. They must be of nine digit length with the last two digits as decimals.

When working in Excel I format all numbers with the accounting format. I often use the single and double underlining feature on the Font tab of the Format Cells dialog box. Sometimes when I use the double underline it only puts (and prints) one underline. I've worked with the formatting many times with little success. The only way I can get the double underline to show up in this situation is to change the vertical cell alignment to be centered and then increase the cell height. This causes me other formatting heartaches. It's like the double underline is there it just will not show.

I'm trying to format numbers in a cell into words. For example, if I type 1 in a cell, I would like it to show the word Optimistic. If i type 2 in the cell I would like it to show the word "Realistic", 3 to show "Pessimistic".
How would I be able to do that?

I have numbers that are 321.55 and then some that are 31.57#.
How can make all of the numbers without the # at the end?
Formate dose not work, the only way I can fine to drop the # at the end is to go to each line and delete the #.
Is there a way to drop the # at the end?

In the publishing industry we have what we call ISBN numbers you will see that every book has a unique number. For thee company that I work for the number always starts as follows -
978-0-7153-
This is followed by five numbers sometimes 4 with a letter i.e.
978-0-7153-12345
978-0-7153-1234X
Is it possible to pre format the cells in a column so that the 978-0-7153- part of the code would be there hiding in the background and all you have to do is type the 12345 to get 978-0-7153-12345 displayed?

I have a number format that I need assistance with:
The number format I need is 1234-000 or 1234-001
The normal number format is 1234-000, very rarely does the 1234-001 be used. So I would like the number format to left fill the left section 1234 and right fill the right section 001.

I am a biologist that works with transgenic animals and I am using Excel to keep records of my mice. I would like to have a column that includes the age as calculated by the DOB of my animal on any given day.
Furthermore I would like for it to be smart enough to tell me in weeks for younger mice and months for older mice. If i do this, obviously i will need a txt string that says "x mnths" or "Y wks" or whatever.
i have come up with an if/then string that works - but for some reason it will not allow me to format the number of decimal places if i include text. here is the function:
=IF(((TODAY()-B6)/7)>12,((TODAY()-B6)/30.417) &" mnths", ((TODAY()-B6)/7) &" wks")
the B6 cell is the DOB of that particular animal.
so what this SHOULD shoot out is something to the effect of "4 mnths" or "3 wks"
depending on the age of the animal. any animal older than 12 weeks will express in function of months and any younger will be in weeks. however what i end up seeing is something like this: 5.81911431107604 mnths I dont need any where near that many dec places...and obviously this doesn't fit in any reasonably sized cell......

Just got an answer to my phone number problem of converting two columns of numbers
to a single columns with the form XXX-XXXXXXX. Used =A1 & "-" & B1.
Works perfectly one one spread sheet and not at all in another.
When I enter the formula and hit return, instead of the correct result, all I get is the formula.
The format of the columns is the same on both spread sheets.

I need to list 4 digit numbers in each section followed by commas, but whatever I do it goes to 3digits (e.g. I need "1234,5678,9123" and as soon as I hit Enter it goes to "123,456,789,123"). It wont work to format as text because I have a whole bunch of 12 digit numbers to break up into 4.

how we could convert numbers to 24 hour time format as we key in the numbers?
Example:
As we key in 0815, it would automatically convert to 08:00.
As we key in 1345, it would automatically convert to 13:45.
What is the code we could use to put in the code of the sheet?

I'm trying to write a certain number, e.g. 300355, to appear as 03:03:55 and in the time format. I've already managed to make it appear with the punctuation between by formating the cell with 00:00:00. However I need to work with the cell in a time format because I'm using stats from a program that records time spent on/off a phone. To be exact I need to sum up 4 cells and divide each one with the total to get the % of time spent on the each category, (total talking, total ready, total not ready and total working).
If I use the format I've been using (00:00:00) the % gets slightly off the true value. E.g. if the numbers are the following:
Total talking: 03:36:53Total ready: 00:55:37Total not ready: 00:52:53Total working:02:40:37
I would get 45%, 11%, 11% and 33%, accordingly, by using the values in time format but 49%, 8%, 8% and 35% by using my format.
So the question is, is there a way to write the numbers as 33653, 5537, 5253, 24037, appear as 03:36:53, 00:55:37, etc. and be in time format?

Is there a way, WITHOUT VBA, to have a cell turn color if a user overlays a function with a value. Using conditional formatting or an easier way if possible, I would like to have any cells that the user overlays with a number to have a different background color.
I know I could use an event-driven macro but am trying to find a function that can check a cell to see if it contains a formula (or function) or a value.

I have to change the layout of my numbers. At the moment the number have 3 decimal places but rounded to two decimal places and are separated with a dot (value in excel is 272.664 but shown just 272.66). After the macro or excel formula the output should be 000000000027266. So the last decimal places should be deleted (but the amount has still to be rounded!!!), the amount should be without a dot and the number has to be always 15 characters long (like in the example the above just with ceros before the number) I tried it in Format Cells but I couldn’t find anything. If I use the find and replace function to delete the dot, the third decimal place will be shown. Does anyone know if I can format it in excel or using a VBA code to change the number?

I am trying to return a number with a specific format. I need Excel to look in a particular column and when it finds the entry in the correct format to return it in a new column. I want it to repeatedly return the number to the new column until it finds another number of the same format in the original column.

I M doing SUMIF correct on the below but it seems not to be adding up correctly. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I'm going wrong?
What I am trying to do is sum up the amounts in D if A equals C, as you can see in C their are numbers that appear twice so I don't know if this is a problem. I thought the sum =SUMIF(D:D,L:L,M:M) would sort this but the value I get for 59846(A) is 3665 which is on number 66336(C) so obviously doesn't match as this should be 1211.25........

I have the following list of numbers
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0102
and I need to continue the list to
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0326
I tried dragging by the grip in the bottom right hand corner but it changes the first didit only. I tried to put it the numbers in the format
100
101
102
and using a custom format number to put in the extra zeros. This worked fine until I used a countif (or it may of been a lookup) statement in my code to look for 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 and it can't find it as the number is 100. Is there away around this that will save me typing in an awful lot of zeros.

I've been having a problem lately with Excel automatically converting all of the cells on my spreadsheet from standard number format to dates. I've created several spreadsheets for calculations and all the cells in the number formats that I wanted. It's been saved and actually reopened and used several times. I opened it this morning and now half of numbers are now converted to dates. I've had this happen several times on several different spreadsheets. Why is this happening? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

Open a brand new spreadsheet whether the format is set to "General" or "Text" it will not let me enter numbers. For example, when I enter 2007 in the cell it displays 20 07 not really that big of space between the two zeros - but still a space. I can't format this no matter what I do.
