Formatting A Number Field To Hold A Specific Number Of Digits
Feb 12, 2009I wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?

Jun 17, 2008I have an excel spreadsheet, that is 11,000 lines (give or take) and in column A, I have a sequence of numbers on every line set up like this:
11-22-333-44W5
What I want to do is add the number "100/" to the begining of every number sequence. If I have to manually add it, I have to go down 11,000 Lines and add it to every line, is there a way to just tell excel to add the number "100/" and down fill it for everyline - end result will look like:
100/11-22-333-44W5
Number Formatting: Display Cells As A Number Like "00 41 55.0"
May 31, 2009I have two columns of cells that need to be reformatted: B and C. In the B column excel is reading the cells as time (0:41:55.0), I need it to display those cells as a number like this: 00 41 55.0. In column C the cells look like this: 41 : 09 : 47.3. I need the C column cells to look just like the formatted B column cells (41 09 47.3) Also, even though they have the spaces, the numbers should be read by excel as one whole number (i.e. 41 09 47.3 would be used in a calculation as 410947.3)

Formatting A Number Within A Sentence
Jun 19, 2009Is there a way to format a number within a sentence? i.e.
In cell A1 I have 2,000 entered and formatted as a number. In cell A2 I type in ="How can I format "&A1&" ?"
When I do this, the result in A2 is How can I format 2000?
Is there a way to format the 2000 to show the thousand separator comma? If the number were -2,000 instead, is there a way to show both the comma and parentheses around the number? (without putting the parentheses manually into the formula)?
Percentage Number Formatting
Feb 21, 2013I am trying to figure out why my number will not format correctly... I have a number thats value is pulled in via external data that gets updated everyday.
Everything works fine there, but I needed the format of that number that was pulled in to have parenthesis around it...
I know that one can add the parenthesis to the number by using the ="("&(Number)&")" function...
What the problem is is that when I add the parenthesis to the number it will not allow me to view it as a percentage; it will leave it as a full general number (Ex. (0.0006), instead of (0.06%)
Is there a way to get the percentage number format back?

Number Formatting Comments

cell.Comment.Visible = False
On Error Resume Next 'fails on invalid formula
cell.Comment.Text Text:=" Days: " & cell.Value & Chr(10)
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next cell
End Sub
I am using this formula to extract the [h]:mm value from a cell and place it into the cell comments. The current result gives me a result of Days: 3.9339797008547 for a cell with the value of 94:24. Is there anyway to change this to only 2 decimal places (3.93) without changing the initial cell value.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFormatting The Highest Number In A Row
Jul 22, 2008I have a few rows in an excel sheet and I want to highlight the highest number(s) in each row.
I've been playing around with conditional formatting, and using the formula:
=$C23=MAX($C$23:$C$55)
in the conditional formatting box and selecting a formatting type, I can automatically highlight the highest number in column C (row 23 to 55). However, this formula only seems to work when I'm selecting columns of data rather than rows. If I want to highlight the highest number in row 23, the formula I'm using is:
=$C23=MAX($C$23:$M$23)
Which I think should highlight the highest number From C23 to M23, but it doesn't - nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Formatting From The Second Occurrence Of A Number
Dec 2, 2008I have an worksheet where I use sequential numbers in column B but it often happens that we insert some more rows with the same number in the B column.
Ex.:
01
02
03
04
04
04
04
05
06
06
Now we would like to have a macro that will format the text color (change to white) in columns B & D as soon as there is a second (or more) occurrence(s) of the same preceding number.
Ex.:
01 – Black (unchanged)
02 – Black (unchanged)
03 – Black (unchanged)
04 – Black (unchanged)
04 – White (changed)
04 – White (changed)
04 – White (changed)
05 – Black (unchanged)
06 – Black (unchanged)
06 – White (changed)

View 4 Replies View RelatedPivot Table Number Formatting
Dec 5, 2009Whenever I make one with numbers, I get formatting for a number as below
1234567.78(no commas and 2 decimal places)
I normally want the formatting as 1,234,568 (comma inserted, no decimals,), (the last digit is changed just becasue of round off, other wise number in both cases is same).
Now I can double click the field, goto number--> number and then apply this formatting.
My question is whether there is a setting in excel somewhere so that this formatting will come as default (after I create the pivot table each time)?
