Insert Text In Front Of Text OR Number - User Defined Format
Sep 24, 2008
I can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.
Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.
I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?
when writing user-define functions in VBA, how do you set up the help on function arguments, so that they appear in the dialog box for the user to enter the correct argument values?
(For example, in the VBA function ACOS, yoh have to enter "Number", and the dialog box explains: "Number is the cosine of the angle you want and must be from -1 to 1." I want to do the same with my own functions).
I would like to add a menu option that will run a subroutine to automatically add a formated text box to the worksheet at the selected cell location. The box must have the text centered, bold, underlined in Arial 10, and no border. I use this method to create a flow chart and would like to make it easier. At the moment I create three different text boxes and then copy them to the clipboard. Then I just click each one, drag it into position and edit the text. I tried recording a macro while adding the text box to the worksheet, but it didn't record anything except the cell selection.
I've been struggling with this for a while now and can't believe how hard it is!. I've searched on this site and on others to get some clarification but to no avail.
It's pretty simple really. I have a user form which contains a tex box for a user to input the date I want the format to be dd/mm/yyyy but can't find out how to set the format of the text box to this.
In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.
First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.
I have 10 cells in a column. I have a drop down list in each that is the same in each. If all 10 cells have the same item selected from the drop down list, I want a separate cell to list Yes or No. I've tried a few variations with no luck.
I have a cell (B4)that may contain several different text values, i.e. Bill, Tom, John, Mike, Larry, & Dan. The value in cell D4 needs to relate to what text is in B4, i.e Bill = 6; Tom = 12; John = 8; Mike = 20; Larry = 15; & Dan = 10. I was trying an IF statement, but having trouble.
ans....>and Good evening. I would like some helps about how to use sumif or any formula that can sum my credit. For example code------credits a12345------1 *b12345-----2 c12345-------1.5 *d12345-----3 The answer is 5 I would like to sum the credits only * infront of them.
I have a problem that when I try to convert text to number and format the number without 2 decimal places as seen on the link I have given below, Instead of 1607.947, I get 1607947. I have Excel 2010 loaded. The details are in below picture.
I'll get straight to the point: How can I change this text format from 474556788 to 0-47455678-8 (dash added after 0 and before the last number). I need to apply this to around 5000 rows (can't do that manualy). I want it to be int his format:
474556788 to 047-455678-8
Tks Auto Merged Post;474556788 to 047-455678-8 (This is the wanted format)
The included, small database is formatted as text. It is a text feed from an outside source. I simply want to format the cells into either numbers or general format but not text... seems simple, and it should be, but the only way I can get this done is to go to each cell and access the formula bar and re-enter the number by pressing Enter.
I used to get data from a database (CorVu & MIMS) in this format "0122458/001". Due to changes in those Databases I now get the data as 2 columns " 0122458" and "1" .What I need to do is somehow get this back to the old format including the leading zeros.
I am attempting to copy some numbers from one spreadsheet to another including the formats. The format I am using is a user-defined one which doesn't normally appear in the list of personalised formats.
My code seems to work fine within the same spreadsheet but fails when I do it using 2 spreadsheets.
I have a data set which is in a date format of MM/DD/YY. I have converted it to YYYYMMDD. I now need to copy and permanently past the values so that the value within the cell always reads to result of the date in the format of YYYYMMDD.
Example: -current = 07/01/08 -new format = 20080701 (cell still reads 07/01/08) -would like the cell to read 20080701
My main goal is to bring this into Access and use this dataset with another data set, which uses the YYYYMMDD format.
I have a bunch of rows that overlap other cells after using the format painter. My workaround has been to drag the row down to reveal the cell values. What's a better way to highlight many rows and do this in one shot? Adjusting each row to reveal text isn't efficient. I would like to not use macros either to solve this problem.
I am working with a column which always displays the cell contents with oldest notes by date first, then the newest note last. I would like to have the contents from a cell reversed with the newest user input by date on top which will simply when reading. Here is an example of a cell. The string always starts with (MM/DD/YYYY TT:TT:TT AM, then user name).

I've then used a simple count formula to add up the number by each stage and it's these numbers that I want the macro to use when determining how many rows to input.
Complete2Reporting1In Progress1Planning1
A second worksheet hosts the desired output - a simple report template, split into stages for each status type (completed, planning etc.) with the correct number of rows for each.
Completed AuditsCharlieDeltaReportingBetaAudits in ProgressAlphaAudits in PlanningOmega
So, I want the macro to ensure that we have the right number of rows for each stage, as this month will be run on a monthly basis and the stage each audit is at will change, and the number of rows required in each section will also be different.
I have an excel file that is used to create a large text file. This is all done manually so I wrote some code to create the file automatically. I have everything working except that I am losing some info. The info is zeros after the decimal point. Almost all of the cells are formatted as numbers with 3 decimal places. It is common to have values of 0.000 that end up just 0 when they are written to the text file. Is there a way to keep the formatting (all decimal places)? Here is an example of code that I am using to write data directly from a cell to the file.
I just copied a range of data from a website however these numbers are in TEXT format.
Basically each number in this data set has a SPACE behind. This turn the number into a text itself and i cannot do a sum for this range of data. I tried TRIM function and also tried to format it to number but no luck. Also tried to mutilply the range to 1 yet they're still in text format.
The problem is even though the worksheet cell is formated to 3 places the text box in the Userform shows many more than this. I have used the Control Source set to read the cell value.
The answer I've seen 'txtValue = Format(Value, "000.00")' which seems very neat and tidy but I'm not sure how to use it or where to place it.
I was wandering is there a way to format or put a formula which will format the numbers to be with two decimal places. The cell containing the formula is already formatted as number and the source tables are numbers with two decimal places.
i want the result to look like this $24.68 & $26.20
I work as a data administrator in a high school in England. I've only been doing the job for about 8 months but a lot of the processes we go through could be better automated via the use of macros in Excel and Word.
Basically we have school grade reports that come from our MIS database that are stored as a Word template, which are then exported into Word as an .xml file. However, they don't come with the photographs of the students on the reports, so we have a Word List Report with every student photo (split into year groups) and run the following macro, which allows you to pick a folder where the reports are stored and match the photo to the report via the school admission number. It is then inserted into the report using a Word bookmark to place it in the top left corner.
VB: Sub InsertPhoto() Dim myFile, myFileNewName As String Dim PathToUse As String [code]....
This works fine but I would like to be able to automatically format the photos so that they have 'In Front Of Text' wrapping, which we need to keep the templates from messing up. It would also save me accessing nearly 1000 school reports and manually editing each photo.
I have a standard block of text with numbers in it pulled from various calculations in a financial model. I have done this through a formula
e.g. ="You gross profit percentage is " & D9 & "% and your gross profit is $" & D10 & "." Problem is i'd like to format the numbers that pull through so they are easier to read. At the moment in the above example D10 results in $-600000000. I'd like it to look like $(600,000,000).
So I have 2 sheets from a much larger worksheet where I wish for the first sheet to extract a row of values, one at a time from the second sheet using a range of numbers I enter as reference for where to look for the data. Sheet 1 can be thought of as a summary page and Sheet 2 is where data is stored.
I need to first check if any data under Sheet 2 column B fall within a specified range of numbers and if any of those numbers are found I want it to grab the largest and latest number from that range and pull all the data from certain columns in that same row and place it into Sheet 1, one column value at a time.
Sheet 1 A1 = A range of numbers as text. 10-15, 16-20 etc Only one range is entered. This also tells me what results I'm looking at. Sheet 1 B4:B14 = Destination cells for the individual data I'm wanting to pull from Sheet 2 columns H:P. B4 wants H, B5 wants I, B6 wants J etc
Sheet 2 column A = A3:A102 are numbered 1:100. Sheet 2 column B = A series of numbers anywhere from 10-70. Always in sequence and they can repeat. 10,10,11,12,13,14,15,15,15,16 etc. Ranges from B3:B102. Only one number per cell. Sheet 2 columns H:P = Data in H3:P102 I want to extract to Sheet 1 B4:B14.
Now lets say I want a formula for Sheet 1 B4 which wants a value in Sheet 2 H. If Sheet 1 A1 = 10-15, I want to check whether Sheet 2 column B has any values equaling those and then tell me which row that last number appeared in. Example: Sheet 2 B4=14, Sheet 2 B5=14, Sheet 2 B6=16. Use B5. (B6 is outside range and B4 isn't the last time the 14 appears.)
Then, knowing B5 is the value I want, find which row it is in (row 5 in this example) or use the number in A5 (3) and then find my way to column H (H5) where the value I want to pull is.
Example 2: Sheet 2 B4=14, Sheet 2 B5=14, Sheet 2 B6=16. Use B5. Sheet 2 H4=10, Sheet 2 H5=32, Sheet 2 H6=42. Place "32" from H5 into Sheet 1 B4.
I'd like to also have some error control so I'm not trying to pull data from blank cells if it's relevant. Maybe check if Sheet 2 X3=0 and if it is, do nothing as no data appears if the cell is 0.
I have put a lot of time into trying to solve this myself but I feel way out of my depth. I've tried going step by step but I can't seem to figure out which functions are relevant and also things like how to return the range that the A1 values appear in or if using MAX, not having it return values outside of A1's range also.
