trying to limit the number of characters entered in a cell.
I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I want to incoroprate into my Workbook a sheet with a list of phone numbers, that sheet can be added to and more numbers entered if necessary and will be called "DATA"
The questions is this. If one of those numbers in the "DATA" sheet is entered in any other sheet in the workbook can the cell that number has been written on (not the one on the data sheet) be made to change colour?
I am creating a spreadsheet for inventory use. I want to have a running total in (1) cell based upon a new/different number being entered into a different cell.
Column B, Row 1 (This will be a new/different number entered every day - inventory in or out, so positive or negative number)
Column D, Row 1 (This will be a running total based on numbers inserted in previous 2 columns)
Basically what I have is a key inventory. So there is column A with key number, B should be keys IN, C should be keys OUT, or ideally B would be IN and OUT meaning, for inventory IN input a positive number and for inventory OUT input a negative number, and D Should be total.
Column E represents number of keys currently in the inventory. I was going to hide the current inventory column so all you see is IN/OUT and total.
So what I need is to be able to just come in and type in a number in the IN and/or OUT column, without having to add/subtract it with the number already in that column.
Bottom line, I'd like to be able to use IN and/or OUT columns to just type in numbers as they come and not have to worry about what's already in those columns and get correct total number.
Ok here it is. Attached worksheet shows Column A - Key Numbers...No data value Column B - Inventory IN Column C - Inventory OUT Column D - Total Column E - Current Inventory(Starting point)
So the formula I used to get what i currently have is (=B2-C2+E2). This way whatever i input in columns C and C. totals out in D. But this way every time I want to add/subtract a number in B and C, i have to add to the number already in the column. I'd like to be able to type in a number in B and C as i go and still have a correct total. I wouldn't mind having just one column for in/out and use positive and negative numbers to differentiate inventory in or out.
I need to achieve the situation below with a formula. I have tried simply doing, for example, = B3+1 but this throws an error, probably because the value being checked is alphanumeric.
Data A001
Data A002
Add next number (A003) when data entered in cell to left
I have uploaded a copy of the spreadsheet I am working on and have completed the user forms and coding for march the 1st only, so if you test, please use the options march and then the 1st!
The problems i have is, when I enter a number into a text box and press next page, the numbers fill where i want them to but the cells do not recognise them as numbers, therefore conditional formatting doesnt work! Even if I change the cell properties to numbers, this does not remove the error!
Second problem!! If a user forgetts to enter a value in a box, or they wish to edit just one value, and go back into the user form to change a figure, when they press next page, all the values in the column seem to disappear!
So I am having trouble figuring out how to do multiple text to equal multiple numbers. For instance right now I use =IF(E9="JOHN DOE","07", but I would like to have it where IF E9 = John Doe the cell shows 07, but IF the E9 = Sam Doe I want the cell to show 08, and the same IF E9 = Pat Doe the cell shows 09 and so on.
Meaning is there a way to have multiple functions go to a cell dependent on what is entered into E9 for example. I just want to have a number come out in one cell if a certain name is entered in a different cell. I loooked at this post [URL]....which got me started,
I am looking for a formula to number rows in A1:A500 I would like to skip a row when B1:B500 cells are empty then skip that row and start renumbering from 1 This is what I tried so far =If(b9>"", countif($B$9:$B9,">"""),"")
I have a Userform that allows the user to input a country from a combobox which after clicking a button writes that data into Cell AH11 in the excel spreadsheet, what I need is for Cell AI11 to read what has been entered into Cell AH11, look up whether or not that country is on a list I have and enter a yes or a no if it is or it isn't on that list.
New cases are entered on to the spreadsheet. The case remains open until a closure date is entered, at which point the case is closed. What I need is the following:
Cell A3 = should say "Open" if there is no value in cell Y3 Cell A3 = should say "Closed" if a date or any value is entered in cell Y3. Ideally it should only say "Closed" if a date is entered in format xx/xx/xx, but am flexible so that it says "Closed" if any data is input.
At the moment Cell A1 has a drop down list consisting of open and closed. I will remove this if it causes complication.
I inteded to look at the contents for column B from row 16 down to whatever had data and clear any contents. The firs time I ran the loop, it worked nicely. However, the second time I ran it, it cleared contents from row 16. The third time I ran it, it cleared data from row 15, so forth and so on. In other words, the loop keeps moving up in rows clearing data that I want to keep. Is there any way to tell the code that I only want to whatever data there is BELOW row 16?
I am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml' from 10k plus products from a description field cell. this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string , it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???
I am trying to lock out cells if a value is entered in another cell in Excel 2010. For instance, when entering a value into N7 (merged Columns N7,O7,P7 into one - not sure if that matters) I want Q7 (same thing, merged Q7,R7,S7 into one) and T7 (merged T7,U7,V7 into one) to be locked out.
So, if N7 has anything typed into it, I would like Q7 and T7 (merged) to be locked.
If that's possible, I would also like for it to happen from rows N7 - N21 ...
Is this hard to do? My understanding is that it's only possible through VBA ... am I accessing the script correctly? (right click the 'sheet 1' tab [named Issues log], select 'view code').
how to make my network days stop counting when I insert a value in the completed column (in this case H3). I have a Date Received column (A3), a due day column (G3) and the last column with the date (N3). My remaining days column keeps counting after I filled the completed cell (H3) and won't stop counting after. I need a formula to stop after the completed cell is fill up.
I want to ask that I have got a workbook with different number series i want user form where i can enter its start number and end number and then it finds and delete shift cells up said series number i have entered in user form please see mentioned below example.
Series 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and i want to delete 1 to 5 numbers delete to shift cells up.
In sheet1, (B2 & C2) are the numbers entered by the user. After they entered, it will create rows of table according to the number of groups they entered on the respective sheets.
I need a formula that will calculate the number of days from a date entered into cell A1 to today's date. Whether it's before or after todays date. Example:
I would like to be able to enter a number in cell a1. Let's say 44.2. I want that number to actually be locked in as 100'-0" in cell b1. Below in the next row I want to enter another number, lets say that one is 41.5 into cell a2. And then I want the cell b2 to return the difference in feet and inches. So ultimately the only cells that I will entering data into is in column a and column b would just return information.
The other thing I am trying to figure out is a formula for converting decimal feet to feet and inches (which I have found) but a formula that is less than 40 characters.
Im trying to enter an employees name into a data list. I have a program that generates a list including their employee number into column B. I want to write something to put the employee name into column C. Im working with 60+ employees so i dont think if statements will work? anyway to reference a chart or table with the numbers and names on it?
if I use the following formulae in A1 and fill it down, I get the serialization 1,2,3....etc. =(INT((ROW()-1)/1)+1)*1
But if I begin formulae at A11 and fill down, I get 11,12,13.....etc. Now I type 1 in A11, how do I modify the formula so that A12 will be 2, A13 will be 3, A14 will be 4 and so on ?
I'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.
I have a userform which saves its info to a spreadsheet. what i want to do is to also open a new workbook, save the same info to the new workbook, copy and paste from existing spreadsheet will do instead of linking the userform to a different workbook (i can do all this) I then want to save the workbook in a specific folder(folderA) but named by the next number ie workbooks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc exist so the next workbook should be called 9 so I need some code to look for the names of existing workbooks in the folder and determine the next. Then I want a spreadsheet to at a pre-set interval(15 minutes) open each workbook , copy the line to the next blank row and move the workbook to a second folder(folderB). The folders A & B will only contain these workbooks.
I am entering values in columns AV and BD of the attached spreadsheet. Rather than manually editing each value to adopt the decimal place value of the adjacent cell is there a formula that can achieve this before the value is entered? The decimal place values are determined using a VLOOKUP table (column3) on the NES tab.
Is there a function in excel that alerts you if you have entered a number (or word!) more than an agreed amount of times?? e.g. If you have agreed not to input the number 7 more than 3 times in a selected range, but then do so, will excel inform you??
I want to pick the last number entered in column and put it in a formula. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to stack a lot of IFs in a string.
