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've got a workbook for aesthetic reasons having text entered by users directly into protected autoshapes. I wanted to link text in one autoshape with another. If that was not enough I wanted to carry forward that text to another autoshape if a different autoshape did not contain text!
I am trying to have a cell in a diffrent work sheet display information from another sheet.
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.
Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???
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.
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:
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 trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
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.
What If we had to replace any number.. Lets say, if we had to seperate NUMBER TEXT NUMBER in different combinations.... B2 contains values like these then
TOM CRUISE 12 TOM 5879 CRUISE TOM CRUISE 123456789 123456789 TOM CRUISE 123 TOM CRUISE 456
[ = SUBSTITUTE(B2,"1234567890","") ]
I am at my wit's end pondering over it?
How to make the SUBSTITUTE function work for each individual digit?
I get a dump that is in the form xxxx gbps or xxxx mbps (gigabits and megabits). I'd like to either use a formula or VBA code to convert this to mbps in another column.
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 have a couple of excelfiles in which someone made a flowchart with text boxes. I would like a search code that would help me find a text or number in those text boxes. The CTRL+F function only works on cells. Does something similar exist for text boxes? Or can this be made in a macro?
I have an excel spreadsheet of which one column contains product descriptions and tracklistings in each cell. I upload the spreadsheet to a website where the product description and tracklisting uses html. I need to add a line break to the tracklisting. So currently in my product description I have something like this;
Code:
Boston streetpunk!!! Hard, raw, still melodic and with very good vocals! The band did many sampler contributions in the past... Rebellion presents you their first official full-length album with 12 great songs in total!!!... Tracklist: 1. Thomas P Cullity 2. Jinx 3. Go For Broke 4. Last Chance 5. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams 6. Takin' Over 7. Burn 8. Another Round 9. Hell To Pay 10. Street Rule 11. Taken Away 12. City Rats but I need it to look like this;

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.
How to get a number in a cell converted into text in another cell? e.g A1 has number 28, I want to have the number (28) as text like this (Twenty Eight) in another cell.
