I have created a 2 drop down list with varios sizes of steel in 1 and quantity in another.
what i want to do is assign a figure in the steel list e.g 203x203x46 UC = £20 per metre and in the quantity list it will just have the quantity required then i will create a cell with the total, so it would go something like (203x203x46 UC = £20 per metre, quantity = 6, total = £120.
For example, Column D, Rows 2 - 500 contain different number codes:451
461
593
675
I want to match up the number code and replace it with the Course Name.451 = Course A
461 = Course B
593=Course C
675=Course D
I am looking to have the number code, i.e., 451 replaced in Column D with the Course Name, Course A or the Course Name appear in Column E pulling from the number code.
In the end I will probably have 100 unique number codes to match up with course names.
I want to display a cell with the value -1,000 as Negative 1,000. In custom number formats I have selected #;"negative" #,###;; which does indeed display the cell with -1000 as Negative 1,000, however, I want to be able to link to this cell and have the link pull in Negative $1,000.

I entered ='Weapons Table'!A48 and it is displaying in text not what is actually in that cell.
on the cell above it I have entered ='Weapons Table'!A47 and it displays fine.
I've tried typing = then just clicking the cell, and it is still just displaying it as text. I've spent 3 days on this sheet and have only 1 error, that is driving me crazy.
I'm trying to link values from one worksheet to another (in same workbook). I'm nearly there, but falling down on one area. Say on sheet2 I have these values(in columns A and B):
C1 100pf
C2 100pf
C3 100pf
C4 100pf
C5 100pf
C6 100pf
C7 100pf
C8 do not fit
C9 do not fit
C10 do not fit.............
I have one cell with $20,000 hard coded (cell A1). In another cell I want the cell to say "20,000 Capital Raise" (cell B1). And i want B1 to link to A1 so that if i change the number in A1 it will also change in B1.
Here's what i have in B1 so far: ="$"&J6&" Capital Raise"
This produces "$20000 Capital Raise" in cell B1.
So the only thing i'm trying to figure out is how to get the comma in the $20,000 so it will read "$20,000" instead of "$20000".
I want the contents of the text box (which will be input by the user) to update a cell in another worksheet. I have found numerous examples of how to display the contents of a cell in the text box but I want to know how to display the text box contents in a cell.

Is there a function that allows you to read column A for an ID (these may or may not include letters/numbers/"?", are non-sequential and are of variable lengths) and, if it is the first time that it has seen an ID column B will read "sample_1_arm_1", if its the second time it has seen an id it will read "sample_2_arm_1", etc? An example of what I am trying to do on a much larger scale:
id
event_name
C83-858
sample_1_arm_1

Text to Number or General.xlsx
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.

The answer should be 4,457.

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

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?
I have a macro which will import data to the worksheet, then perform some formatting on the data, then assign the month & job description based on the lookup table. The problem is that when I import in the data, the data in column B&C will be store as text instead of number and the date in column E will store a 2 digit year instead on 4 digit year which cause error to my macro. I have try to preset the column format to number, i even try to change the column format to number when i run the format macro data. But the problem is still there.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created a vb macro to open a text file then process the file then close the file. Here is my problem:
Problem: THe text file has rows of data in it as follows
5155111111551511111111111511111111111111111
This row of text gets converted to
5.16E+42
because excel treats the row of text as a number but i dont want it to do this transition.
When i save the file and then reopen it using say NOTEPAD i see 5.16E+42 and not the long string of text.

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).

I've a book with 13 sheets, I use sheets number 2 to sheet number 13 to paste data from a webpage as Text. Then that data is used on sheet number 1.
I'm having problems using the numbers coming from the pastes, in the webpage some come in fractions (4/11, 8/3, etc). I made a macro to change those cells from Text to number, but that doesn't make them usable as numbers when I refer them in sheet1. To make them usable, after changing the format from text to number, I've to double click on each cell I want to refer and just hit Enter, then the content changes, e.g, from 10/3 to 3.33. And then I can use the data as a number on sheet number1.
The vbs code is the following, it does the data pasting as text allright, but I don't know how to make usable those individual cells I was refering to before. Besides doing the work by hand.
Sub PegadoEspacialTexto()
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Texto", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:= _
False
Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "0.00"
