Pasting Fraction Turns Into Date
Feb 3, 2008
I am trying to paste in a decimal equivalent chart, loacted here:
http://www.advancedtool.com/prod02111.asp
which basically has a mixture of whole numbers and fractions, and how they equate in decimals.
When I paste this in, all the fractions turn into dates. So for instance 1/64 turns into Jan/64, and 1/32 is Jan/32. Now, I could go in and change each one, but I would like to know how to do this with cell format on the entire sheet....
I have tried to change the cell formats to "general" or "text" and of course fraction, but in this case, I have to go in and do each fraction cell individually. Now maybe I am being too lazy, and in the time it took me to look up my login information, and type this out, I likely could have re-done the worksheet, each cell individually, but I would like to know the way to fix this automatically.

I'm trying to keep some basketball stats, and from ESPN the field goals are reported as 10-16, or 5-14, to indicate how many field goals were made out of attempts.
When I paste this into Excel it automatically interprets it as a date. So 10-16 turns into Oct-16, and 5-14 turns into May-14. How do I stop this?
Ignore the screenshot!

In the attached workbook - the stock Inventory is increased, every second day, by the value shown in cells of column A. Column B displays the date of the update. I'm looking for a Formula (might be an Array Formula) that will return the latest date before the stock turns to be greater than the value in cell D3. I managed to solve it, in cell F3, but with the help column C.

I have a cell with the following text in it that is being imported from a website "5/1 Smith T win". What i want to do is extract the "5/1" part without it being in the format of a date. I want it to be extracted in the format "?/???". I have entered the following formula to extract the "5/1"

I have a file that uses dates, when a cell is in date the cell is "GREEN" but when the cell is out of date after 3 years it turns "RED". I want to add another formular so that when it gets to 2 years & 11 months the cell will go "YELLOW" for 1 month only before it turns "RED".

I have a sheet which contains a folder listing of files with the filename displayed as a hyperlink.
I would like to have a formula which works out a couple of values based on the file name which has been copied into a given cell as a hyper link.
In my sheet Column F contains the file names (as hyperlinks)
e.g. Anab AM1 2006-02-27.pdf
or CD 01_02 2006_05_18(2).pdf
I'd like to create a formula for Column A which will give me the first 2 blocks of text which are seperated by a space (in the examples above it would be "Anab AM1" and "CD 01_02") Anything after the second space should be ommited (including the 2nd space itself)
I'd also like column B to find the date within the filename. Note this is not always the rightmost part of the filename (excluding the .pdf) I've worked out I can use the Find function to find the '2006' (I'll always have the same year in here as my folder listings are sorted by year) but it returns the character where 2006 is located e.g. for "Anab AM1 2006-02-27.pdf" it gives me 10.
My date formats are always in the form yyyy-(or_)mm-(or_)dd

When I write out ranges in cells like:
1-10
10-20
20-30
30-40
Etc.
Excel turn some of these ranges into dates such as 01-Oct, which is extremely annoying. But trying to change to different date formats but it still keep it to dates. what I can do?

I have been searching the boards long and hard for this solution and have yet to find that applies fully. Every day I need to search through 20 worksheets for transactions occurring on a specific date and copy the row onto a new worksheet. I would like to run a macro that would allow me to search for a specific transaction date in column C of each worksheet and if the date matches it will copy the entire row to a new worksheet.
The issue I am having is that the transaction lists are a running sum of all the transactions for each account. Therefore, the range that the macro needs to search will change daily as well. Furthermore, the date that I would be searching for could potentially appear in column A or B but I only want the row if the date matches that of column C. Also, on some sheets there may not be a transaction at all.

I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.

I have put together a simple example of my problem. There is two buttons and one text-box "TextBox 1". When I use the following code:
[Code] .........
I get one button to hide the textbox and the other to show it. Initially the textbox has the textbox properties (you can type in it) but when I hide it and show it again using the two buttons the textbox becomes like a rectangle shape which I can not type in and can only click.
How do I hide and show the text box whilst keeping it as a text box?

I have a workbook with two worksheets. I added a formula to the first worksheet
= COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K"). It works fine when I add another COUNTIF that references another column (baseball fans may realize I'm counting total strikeouts for a batter): =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K") However, when I try to expand this to cover more columns, =COUNTIF(Scorecard!H3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!L3,"K")+COUNTIF(Scorecard!P3,"K")
Excel automatically changes the format of this cell to "Text" and it shows the formula as text instead of calculating it. What could be wrong here? Excel's documentation is woefully inadequate for cases like this. Is there an undocumented limit on how many times I can add COUNTIFs together?

A little context:
Searching this forum for "sleep", "delay" or "animation" will bring up a host of threads referring to the kernel32 function, sleep. This is a great way of putting small delays into code without the potential "synchronisation" problems of application .ontime calls or the "ugliness" of multiple-thousands looping.
My question:
When I call sleep (with values in the hundreds of milliseconds) several times in a macro, it seems like the computer just "gives up" screen updating after a few (maybe 50) iterations. The macro still takes the time I'd expect, accounting for all the sleeps, but it stops showing the intermediate steps and just shows the end result after the macro ends.
Is this something to do with RAM? Is there something about calling this command too much or too frequently that kernel32 doesn't like? Is my computer a useless bag of nails and spit?

In a column in my spreadsheet i have to input a number; either: 51-61 and next to it is either m or o. so in Column A row 1 : 51m, Column A row 2 60m, etc Example:
51m
51o
55o
60m
I want to conditionally format this such that for 51 it turns the cell background green, for 52 red, 53 orange,etc. with a number having a specific color associated with it. 03' does not have a text choice.

i have the volume of a reservoir in column A for lets say, 2 years, with monthly data (so 24 numbers in my list)
I also have some variables that feed into this list such as rainfall (fixed), and population (i.e water use, which i can manually change)
if i increase the population too much, the volume of the reservoir will at certain times of the year, fall into negative digits.
what i'm looking for, is a cell which works out the maximum value (in whole numbers) for my population, without any of the numbers in the reservoir volume list falling below zero.

How do I get a fraction to show as a fraction rather than decimal in the formula bar by formatting the cell as text.
For ex:
I have "-3/4" in a cell formated as "TEXT" I expect it to show "-3/4" in formula bar but it shows "-0.75".

When using the autofilter, the drop-down arrow turns blue in color, i.e., when some filter citerion is being used, the small down-arrow turns a different color as a way of informing the user that a filter is in place. Is there a way to control the color of this? Currently, mine turns blue, but it would be more useful if I could change it to a brilliant color in order to make it contrast more with the default black. Blue is too difficult to be distinguished by my eyes. The autofilter is turned on via a macro. If there a line of code that controls the color.

I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.

I write up job cards that require measurements in fraction form. Usually whenever i want to round off a figure , say 10/16, to 5/8, i right click on the figure and format cell it. However, this can be quite time consuming if there are multiple cells and are of a different breakdown.
What i would like to know if there's a shortcut way where when the 10/16 is in the cell, it automatically rounds off to the nearest fraction.

I am joining two columns of data. first col. has size in fraction format: 7 3/8
second column has text string:
HABITAT CINCY POD HAT ERA BLK/RD
Concatenate= HABITAT CINCY POD HAT ERA BLK/RD 7.375
Changing fraction to decimal, needs to remain fraction.
I have played w/ the formatting to make Number w/ zero decimal places and then selected Fraction, but no luck there.

Is there any way of formatting a cell to show a percentage with a fraction? For example, I'd like to show: 3 1/3%, 1 2/3%, 2 1/2%, etc.
I'm showing data to a client who will pull out his calculator and add up the decimals on his calculator and be unhappy that the numbers don't add up to 100%.
I can force the output by using TEXT() or multiple columns, but ideally, I'd like a custom format if possible.

I have created a "heat map" in VBA that takes fractional values and "ranks" them in 10 equal bands, then assigns a colour to each band. (Hopefully that made sense to you VBA experts out there)
However, I now want to look at the numerators of these fractions, rank these, and do something like "if the numerator is > x then proceed, else exit. Is there a way to reference these numerators directly? If so, is there a way to store them in some sort of array then take the max value too?
I've tried searching this and it seems like this should be a simple answer, but is there any way I can reference the numerator of a fraction in Excel? These cells will contain formulae; so they'll be E5/C5 for example.
