View 3 RepliesI have the below concatenate formula and it works for what I need..well, almost. I know I don't have the format cells option when using concatenate, but I need the answers to the formula to come out as a percentage or to two decimal places. I have searched and honestly don't understand how to do this in my formula....
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need a solution so that each day I can get a value from a single cell but it appears in a new column each day.
eg, A1 contains a numerical value (based on a formula)
Each day there is a new column, say, Monday = B1, Tuesday = C1 etc.
On Monday B1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in B1
On Tuesday C1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in C1, but the value in B1 remains as it was when it was originally frozen.
I was wondering is there a way to use vlookup and then when the particular piece of data is found (using vlookup) to paste it as a value instead of the formula? I have a file that tracks the market value of certain portfolios and i have a source file that i update every month. I dont want the numbers to be overwritten each month, i want to keep a history of the market values each month. Do i need to program something in VBA or can i work something up in the formula bar?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have on a sheet, on say cell "J10" a formula "=A1"
Now suppose I to delete row 1, Then J9, which was formally J10, will now say "=#REF!" instead of "=A1"
Is there a way to maintain J9 (which was J10) to say "=A1" without giving a reference error?
I have a template file which has a reference to a cell on a sheet in another workbook.
I need to copy this template to 250 workbooks. However, everytime I copy this template sheet into a workbook, it updates the reference to the template name!
Is there an absolute reference I can use for the sheetname?
Example: Workbook Template - Sheet1 - Cell A1 = Value
Workbook Template - Sheet2 - Cell A1 = Sheet1!$A$1
So for so good, but when I copy Sheet2 to a new workbook, I need to have the exact same reference; ie. Sheet1$A$1 and NOT = ['C:Workbook template']Sheet1!$a$1
I have two cells. In cell A1 there is a text "(fi) = " and in A2 a number, for example 30. (fi) means a symbol for diameter (letter "f", using Symbol font). Is it possible to joint those two cells in third cell using formula "=A1&A2", maintaining original fonts? What i get is "f = 30", not "(fi) = 30".

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm usually able to find my answer but I couldn't find anything to match what I need. Anyway... this is either really simple or impossible to do. I have two cells which have times in each. Say A1 has 5:00 PM and A2 has 10:00 PM. I'm just trying to make it so one cell will say:
From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM... So I tried this ="From " & A1 & " to " & A2
But as I'm sure you already know that yields this result:
From 0.708333333333335 to 0.916666666666668
I want to know how to index a drop down list to be used for calculations.
Up until now I was using
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is
ActiveCell.Formula = SiteID 'site id
But for whatever reason it trims a trailing zero from SiteID when setting it in the second line. SiteID is a VBA string.
Indexing it would work, as would preserving the zero so help on either one is appreciated. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Correction, I lied. I was using this line to set it.
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = SiteID 'site id
I have managed to retain leading zeros in a cell by formatting the cell and selecting Number and Custom and adding the maximum number of zeros I want to have in front of the number in the cell i.e. 000002.
I want to have another cell in the spread sheet which contains the value 35394000002 using the formula =A24&B24.
When I use this formula I get 353942. How can I retain these zeros?
How can i break the links in a row of cells but still retian the cell comments thereafter.
At the moment, the comments dissapear after editing the links in excel 2007 that i am using.
Changing the display (foe cells with comments, show) under file-options-advanced has not really worked.
I am building a large Userform and I am going back to edit some of the controls (renaming, resizing, etc). The problem is, after editing, the changes don't stick. I can open another module and then open the form again and the changes will be gone. I can save Excel, close the file, and open it again, and the changes will be gone.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a list that looks like this:
1. Here I have som formatted text.
2. Here too.
10. And here.
110. As well as here.
The content of each line is in a single cell.
How do I go about automatically chopping off the number, the dot and the space before the text, but retaining all formattings?
I'm concatenating data in 5 cells (Author, Year, Title, City, Publisher), one of which is in italics (Title). When using concatenate (or &) the formatting is removed, and I need to be able to retain that formatting.
Example:
Col B

I have a textbox that displays text from another cell in the workbook. The other text has some sections in bold, but when it displays in the textbox it doesn't show the bold text - The code I'm using at the moment is below.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim R As Long
ComboBox2.List = Array("QuestionSet1", "QuestionSet2")
[Code].....
Seems like a dumb question but is it possible to unmerge say one "3 cell" merged cell with a value of "A" into 3 SINGLE CELLS with a value of "A"?
I have a quantity column on an inventory sheet which automatically updates the available quantity based on sales from a sales sheet. But I need to know the date the quantity reached zero.
That date would always be "today," on the day the quantity = 0, but how do I make the date NOT update to "todays date" on the next day, and the next, etc. It needs to stay as the date that 0 qty was reached.
i am using the following code to put data into a worksheet which it does perfectly. once the data is put into the sheet it is saved. what i want to do next is to retain the data in the userform and possibly change one or two entries and put data back into the sheet to save again
Option Explicit
Dim ans As Variant
Dim MyArray(100, 4)
Public MyData As Range, c, d As Range
Private Sub cmbAmend_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Set c = Range("b4").End(xlUp).Offset(3, 0) ' c selected by Find
c.Value = Me.DTPicker1.Value ' write amendments to database
c.Offset(1, 0).Value = Me.TextBox1.Value
c.Offset(2, 0).Value = Me.TextBox2.Value
c.Offset(3, 0).Value = Me.TextBox3.Value
c.Offset(12, 0).Value = Me.ComboBox1.Value
Set d = Range("b16").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
how do you store formulas so that they stay in the cells when all info is deleted? so i can use the same spreadsheet every week but all i have to do is select all and delete. if i do it now i lose al my formuals.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to get the Concatenate function to work in my macro when there is a combination of numbers and text. It works fine is there are no alpha characters. I am using this macro to format all of the data in column "A" to have 5 characters and be text. These values will later be used in formulas and Pivot Tables.

I am programming some kind of database in excel and using comboboxes as drop down lists to enter some of the information in the DB. My problem is that when the file is saved, closed and then opened again, all of the comboboxes have lost their selection. I think that using the ControlSource might help but for some reason I can't find the proper syntaxe to make it works. Actually I am getting a Run time error 438: This object doesn't support this property or method.
I have included the relevant portion of my code below. Is the ControlSource property going to solve my problem? If so, what is the syntax I must use? If not, what can I do to make sure that my ComboBoxes are going to keep their selection?
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms. ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=hori_offset - 220, Top:=vert_offset + 78, _
Width:=180, Height:=24.75).Select
With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Object
.Font.Size = 14
.Font.Bold = True
.Style = fmStyleDropDownList 'Use drop-down list
.BoundColumn = 0 'Combo box values are ListIndex values
End With
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("ComboBox1")
.OLEFormat.Object.ControlSource = "Q1"
.OLEFormat.Object.ListFillRange = "M1:M8"
End With
I need to create a variable that will be TRUE/FALSE based upon whether the user has made changes to a certain range without running a specific macro. Basically, if they change cells in a certain range, the 'Update' macro must be run. I want this variable to be False if the cells have changed without running 'Update' and then when 'Update' runs, it sets the variable back to True.
I've been able to make this work with a Public variable, but if the user closes the workbook, the variable resets to False. Is there a way to create a variable that will be remember even if the workbook closes?
I have a list of values which also has duplicates. I want to remove the duplicates but after comparing it to the dates. Retain the latest date and remove the old dates Eg. there are two duplicates, one has a date of 31st Jan 2013 and the other one has a date of 25 jan 2013. I want to remove the duplicate which has the older date ( 25 Jan 2013) and keep the one which has the latest date.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy data has various dates in column A, which I group into months using the formula "=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)" in column B. Then I format column B to show the results in the format mmm-yy. So far so good.
I then use a pivot table to count the number of entries for each month and I have formatted the date column the same way. But every time I refresh the data (which I need to do frequently as data floods in from external sources), the format of the pivot table reverts to dd/mm/yyyy and I have to go and manually reformat it again.
I've checked all the options I can think of, but cannot find any way to keep the format as I have set it. Does anybody know of a way?
I'm using Excel 2003 on Windows 2000 Professional.
I cant seem to figure out how to concatenate data from two cells into one cell and retain trailing zeros. If Cell A1 has ".0000" and cell A2 has ".0005" then I want cell A3 to show:
".0000-.0005".
I get "0-.0005" on my attempts. Alos, how do I make the value an actual number and not a formula?
I have the two following columns
Report ID Facility ID 25 1 25 10 25 100 25 1000
And I need to "combine" the two numbers to create integer values so I can import the values into excel
The following is how I would like it formatted
250001
250010
250100
251000
so facility id has a numberformat of "0000" and then the report id is appended to that value.
I'm using the following code to insert rows in a table of data:
Code:
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
If Range("D" & i).Value Range("D" & i - 1).Value Then Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Insert
Next i
It works as expected, but as my data table is formatted, the last row inserted does not contain the same formatting as the table.
I have ID numbers that sometimes starts with one or more zeros and when i try to paste a string containing ID numbers that starts with a zero, excel converts it to a number thereby deleting the leading zero(s). Is there any way to force excel to keep the leading zero when i paste from the clipboard?
Clipboard.SetText strMyString, vbCFText
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
xlSheet.Activate
xlApp. ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet. Range("A2").Select
xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Paste
I have tried setting the format for a column as text using xlSheet.Columns("D").NumberFormat = "text" before pasting to try to force excel to keep the leading zero but the ID# comes out unreadable as "############". I have also tried formatting as "General" and custom formatting the column before pasting but have been unsuccessful thus far. I've seen other programs accomplish pasting numbers with leading zeros but how do you do this?
I am just basically sorting through a huge dataset and grabbing unique codes and storing them in an array for later use. Some of the codes are numeric and some are alphanumeric therefore I am storing them as strings. However, when a code is for example 000578 - once a recall this from the array it has become 578. Is there anyway to preserve the entire code, i.e. make the array recall 000578.
