Aug 28, 2008In a new worksheet, I enter the following inputs:
Input # 1: 08/26/08 and see 8/26/2008
Input # 2 (in a different cell): 08/26 and see Aug-26
Input # 3 (in the same cell as #2 because I didn't like the result I saw): 08/26/08 and I still see Aug-26
Question: The desired result I would like to see in all three cases is: 8/26/2008
Would someone please explain:
1) How do I set the default date to automatically assume current year if I merely enter 08/26 ?
2) Why entering 08/26 is such a grievous sin that I should so horribly point Excel in the wrong direction - or at least until I reformat that cell?

Changing Default Exponential Format
Jan 28, 2014In excel if it changes number to exponential format it would default to, for example if number is 12345 -> 1.2345e4, 0.012345 ->1.2345e-2
I was wondering it is possible to which a function to change this default format ie for example 0.012345 -> 12.345e-3
I basically want this kind of formatting as its would display information in terms of milli, micro, pico (or the opposite side kilo, mega, giga and so on).
Make New Default Number Format?
Jul 15, 2013I like to make my numbers with no decimals, with a comma. This means I have to constantly press a number of buttons to put them in the format I want. Not too big a deal but is there a way I can make one of the buttons in the number group default to the way I want the numbers to appear?

Oct 3, 2006i am trying to change the date format for the B column.
if you look the format for this column is dd/mm/yyyy, BUT, it is not. the real format should be mm/dd/yyyy.
ex. 08/01/2006 (mm/dd/yyyy) but excel thinks it is dd/mm/yyyy
Restore Cell Default Format
Jun 27, 2007In a worksheet, I should have selected the region where data is present, and center align all the cells. Instead, I selected the entire worksheet and did the same, so that whenever new data comes in the relative cells are already formatted. This has caused the workbook size to increase dramatically. (So, I assume that changing a cell property from the default value uses some memory). Is there a way to restore the format of the blank cells to the default values, so that memory is freed and the workbook size decreases again?

Jan 25, 2011Using Excel 2010 - I have a large workbook with multiple worksheets - been using it succesfully every day for a long time. All of a sudden every empty cell, and any cell not specifically formated in every worksheet has a default cell format of Time.

How did the default cell format for this workbook become set to 'Time' from 'General' and how do i fix it?

Excel 2010 :: Changing Default Chart / Graph Format Copied When Pasted Into Word?
Aug 28, 2012I work with a team of users that are continually publishing reports in Word that contain charts and graphs copy and pasted from Excel into Word 2010.
We have a custom script that leverages a PDF engine to automatically convert .doc files to .PDF files that we distribute electronically to our clients. This all works great, but only if all my users select 'paste special' and Enhanced Metafile Format when adding their excel charts into our reports. Most of these people aren't tech savvy, and I'm havin ga hell of a time getting them to follow this workflow and am hoping there's a way in Office 2010 to select the default paste from excel into word when the content is a chart.
It seems like the default paste from excel is an embedded chart/graph that you can then further manipulate each component of the chart in Word; the default doesnt' paste an actual image. I am assuming the pdf renderer is using a lower resolution .PNG version of the image and when these are scaled for print and or pdf, they look like crap.
Is htere anyway I can automatically change the default paste format for the chart from excel into word to be an EMF/EMV (enhanced metafile?) Either thorugh the registry or some other saveable setting?
Format Row Cell Color Based On Number Of Text Strings In A Column
Jul 29, 2013I have been trying to format the rows on this sheet to color scale red based on the number of repeat text strings in Column E. Referring to the attached example sheet, '321/312.2/321.3' appears the most times and the goal is to color code the rows it appears in the deepest shade of red, then the next highest occurring string would shade the rows it appears in a lighter shade, etc, in descending order. Our team currently does this across multiple sheets manually everyday and it would be a real time saver if we could get excel to do this automatically.

Jun 30, 2006I am trying to figure out a way to condense my code (improve my code) Right now I am using a Macro in Excel to go through a workbook by selecting each column individually and if there is something in the header then formatting that column as text. The problem with the way I am currently doing it, is that due to size limitations on the VBA code, I can only select columns A to Z, and if there is more data in the worksheet it is not formatted. Also I would like the code to check the header and if the word date is in there, format it as a date instead. Also if there is a way to delete any invalid ranges in the workbook

Data Validate Text Format?
Feb 2, 2012I need to make sure people enter City State and Zip correctly,
I need somehow to validate: City, NC 21312
Validate City with a comma right next to it with a space and then 2 letters and then space or 2 space and 5 numbers.
Is there any way to do this using Validation.
I guess I could separate the cells, but I would rather not do that. Or I could have a message box pop up and ask individually to enter each one, but I would rather not do that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRemove TextBox Default Text
Jan 29, 2008Hopefully a really simple query:
I have a userform with numerous Textboxes and comboboxes for user input - however the end users aren't too PC savvy and I'm ending up capturing "Please Enter NameJohn Smith", "Please Enter Job TitleSales Manager" etc. My original Instructions told them to tab their way through the form, meaning each time they reached a TextBox their input would overwrite the ("Please Enter x") string prompting them for input.
Is there any way to replicate this "select all" on click (globally as there are potentially 50 to 100 textboxes and 12 varients of the form)?
Penfold Auto Merged Post;OK so I've made a little progress:
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
TextBox1.SelStart = 0
TextBox1.SelLength = Len(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub
The above selects all the text in a textbox - I think I need to apply this to the textbox "on click" - however that could be achieved? Then it needs to be generalised - ie:
UserForm1.Controls("Textbox" & variant)

Use Variable As Default Value For Text Box / Spin Button
Oct 3, 2007to plug a variable (integer) into a text box / spin button as its default value.

Where LastNum is the number of rows / entrys that have been typed into the first sheet and that will be printed by default.

View 3 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 :: Changing Default Text Box Settings?
Sep 5, 2012When I place a text box in Excel 2010, the default is for everything to be locked (Box is locked AND text is locked). I want to change the default setting so that when I start Excel fresh, anytime I place a text box the "LOCK TEXT" box is UNCHECKED.
There's a place where you can select "Set as default text box") after you make the changes, but it's not sticking (even in the same document without closing. IE, I make the changes to a text box, then click the option that says "Set as default text box", place a NEW text box immediately in the same document but the text is still locked.
