Format Of Cells From Database
May 11, 2009
-I have an excel export from a database.
-The export has multiple columns of data.
-The column I am interested consists of numbers and some text.
-The numbers are preceeded by "zeros", e.g. "00054" or "0021"
-The text is usually "N/A"
Problem:
-The column cells are formatted as "General".
-I need to get the "00054" to just "54"
-I am looking for a solution other than re-writing the column by hand (hundreds of column entries)
I've Tried:
-Changing column format to "Number", but the "00054" format remains.
-Played around with other cell format types
-If I double click the cell, the entry then goes to the format I need!!! e.g. "00054" -- double click-- "54". Wallaaaaa... I will get carpal tunnel if I have to double click all these columns entries!!

I'm trying to format an exported excel database.
I'm currently running into difficulties with a text field full of user comments.
At present, there are cells with the #NAME error on them, and the only way I've been able to get rid of them is by double-clicking on them and pressing ENTER. This is also the only way I've found to remove excess white space in each cell.
Double-clicking each entry in the database would take far too long, and I'm assuming that there must be an easier way.

I have a sheet with products down the side, and dates across the top. Numbers will be entered at an intersection between dates and products to represent quantity. Whenever there is a non-blank value for the quantity, I need to copy the products, dates, and quantity into a traditional database format. I have attached the original data format I get from suppliers on when they will deliver, and then show a separate tab for "Desired Result"

I have an organizational hierarchy dump in excel from an SAP ERP system. The format of that file is less than user friendly and I need to convert it to a flat file format so I can do pivots against it or possibly dump it into access database. The background is as follows (I am also attaching a file).
The organizational structure is multinoded/layered. Top most node is a company second from the top are divisions designated by 02DivName each 02DivName has multiple nodes assigned to it. The lowest level of the hierarchy is a department, always a numeric, always same length.
That's where it gets interesting. Each node/layer under 02DivName has a technical description and text description they get broken up into two different columns when SAP dumps them. Technical descriptions can be used to identify where in hierarchy the node falls(parent/child). For example 02A is a child of 02DivName 02B is a child of 02A 02C is a child of 02B and of course all of them roll up to 02DivName. There could be multiple 02A's under Div Name and their respective 02B's, C's D's would roll under them. So on export file it would be graphically represented 02A1 blank blank blank blank in that column and then change to 02A2 their respective 02B's would be in different columns works the same for C's and D's.
Here is another wrinkle the department is not always assigned to the lowest level grouping. I could have 02DivName dept, dept, dept, and then 02A group assigned to 02DivName. The department numbers end up on export file in the same column as fre form text descriptions for the nodes. It is staggered format.
The object of what I'm trying to do is basically convert the gibberish described above into flat file format via a vba script. I need to have node1 node1 desc node2, node2 desc, etc etc in columns the last column being a department number. So if for example I have a dept assigned directly to 02DivName directly all the other node descriptions will be blank if it's node 02A then the node1 and node2 will be populated. Any help will be appreciated. And here is the file with excel spreadsheet

I am currently trying to create a database of products for my company. For each product I would like to include an image associated with it. I then want to have on another sheet a place where the user will click an error and be able to cycle through the products. As tehy cycle the associated image will pop up.
What I need to understand is after importing the image into excel, how do I associate that image to a cell so I can reference it in another sheet of the database. I am not concerned with how large the database will get, my pictures are quite small.

I would like to make a piece of VBA code that will copy the data from B3:C11 (fist sheet) and put it into the individual columns (second sheet). The columns are named ID, name, e-mail, phone, value, address.
The second sheet should therefore act as some kind of database, where new entries are put below the last one. Also, it would be great if the program checked at first whether the ID is already written in the sheet2(database) and if so, it would write an error message.
Included : samplexxx.xlsx

I've used a countifs, but I'm having trouble doing a sum in a similar way. I have 2 databases and I will try to explain below. I need the to sum the values of database 1 if the second database is >= 20. So the value I would expect on this example would be 900. I would also like to be able to highlight which ones are elliminated. Such as coloring the text red.
Database 1
Eric 100
Jenny 200
Gina 300

Database 2

I have a column of cells with values - 0.2%, 0.32%, 0.22, 0.5 etc. The cells with % symbol are in ' Percentage, 2 decimal' format while the plain numbers are in 'General' format i.e. column contains cells in either of these formats. I need a macro where I can specify the column and it will select the cells with the % format, convert it to 'General' and multiply the result by 100 eg. 0.2% converted to 'General' becomes 0.002. When multiplied by 100, result is 0.2 i.e. is displayed without the % symbol.

I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....
Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far using excel 2003)
Top 34%:
=IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))

I have a column of numbers and want to make sure everything has been entered correctly from our scanning software. Basically, I want to automatically highlight any cell that has any letter in it (e.g. z12o2 instead of 21202 or R705 instead of 5705), ignoring any cells that contain only numbers. I haven't had any luck using conditions based on formulas like =ISTEXT.

Trying to use Excel Data List to create a database style report. IE. Originally blank sheet, which is only populated by data containing data matching "filters" input into cells ( say A1 & A2 )
I.e. A1 = Delivery week to be filtered by, and B1 Manufacturer Name
So if I type week "1" into A1 & Manufacturer "Microsoft" into A2, it will show a table only containing data Microsoft, Week 1, and associated data for those lines across the screen.
Week 1
Microsoft
PO number : Date Ordered: Address 1, 2 3 etc....
0011 01/01/13 Somewhere
0015 02/01/13 Anywhere
0213 05/01/13 Nowhere
I know this is much easier with a database, however my manager insists a database cannot be used, and it must be in a spreadsheet format !

I am comparing a set of common variables across 2 sets of independent financial data. When comparing a variable across the 2 sets e.g. profit I want to colour a neighbouring cell based on the size of the difference. For example if the difference between the two values is within plus or minus 1 make it green, plus or minus 5 red etc.

my excel setting... I'm not able to see some of the numbers (in currency/accounting) in excel file, it shows as many "#" sign, and it's not due to the column width. The same file can be seen in other computer.
The format setting is the same in all the cells but only certain rows/cells' numbers appear like "normal".

I have a spreadsheet that contains data with the following format:
5 EA/BX
12 EA/PK
Unfortunately, sometimes the data is input without a space:
5EA/BX
12EA/BX
I am looking for a way to insert a space between the data when one does not exist. (I cannot have more than 1 space between the alpha numerical character and the numerical character.)

I have some imported data that Excel does not recognize as date or time so I have to edit each cell pressing F2 and the enter to "convert" the value.
I have about 120.000 records and the macro takes long time to do the job.

I have a spreadsheet that uses a macro to format it. It’s quite simple and the code is shown below:
Code:
Range("A1:D2").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
[Code] ...........
The spreadsheet will have info constantly added on (downloaded from a CSV).
What I would like the spreadsheet to do is look at the cells and only format those that have data in them but are not already formatted – otherwise I’ll just end up re-formatting everything every time and as the spreadsheet gets bigger it'll take longer and longer.

I have a couple Excel files that exhibit a very odd and annoying behavior. When I save the files, everything is fine and all cells are formatted as they should be (e.g., general, text, numbers, etc). However, when I open the file again, all cells are formatted as date. This is quite annoying since some underlying data will be destroyed.
I already checked if the format style "normal" is damaged, and indeed it was (the standard format was set to date). However, I changed this back to general before saving, yet still see all cells formatted as date after reopening the file (this does not happen consistently... most of the time everything is fine but occasionally I get the date mess-up).

I have a group of cells in E2:E4 that are 144.00 in, 240.00 in, and 72.00 in and are formatted as general.
I get these values when I export data from an AutoCAD program to Excel and I want to sum these values to get the total length.
I want to sum the three values and have the result be the same (i.e., ###.## in). The number of values can go to 30, so I need a simple line of code, =SUM(???)
