I am working with a spreadsheet created by someone else. I am trying to change a date in the spreadsheet from "12/19/07" to "5/1/08". When I type in the new date, excel assumes that I am entering a formula, places an "=" in front and displays 1/1/1900.
I can open a blank spreadsheet, type in the date "5/1/08" and copy it into the cell in the existing spreadsheet and it reads it as a date just fine.
I know Excel is supposed to guess if there is a heading row or not when you're manually sorting a group of columns. But, more often than not it seems, it guesses incorrectly, forcing me to go through the multiple steps of the "Custom Sort" menu. Most of the manual sorting I do does have a Header row.
Is there a default setting somewhere to force the sort to always assume there is a Header row? I can't find any.
I have a workbook which is set up to take an average heart rate of a participant from a series of data points. I have set the spreadsheet up before I have collected some of the data. (so I can review the project at the 3 months period and its an ongoing project).
The problem is that if there is no data in a participants column then excel correctly gives you readout of “#DIV//0!”. On my results page this #DIV//0!” makes it hard to read the spreadsheet. Is it possible to get excel to turn #DIV//0!” to “0” or even turn it to a blank cell?
When building complex and long formulas in excel which can not be auto
filled due to non progressive variables I tend to combine several cells
containing parts of the formula using the ampersand (&) operator.
E.g. B2=[A1&A2&A3&A4]
where:
A1=[=]
A2=[INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S]
A3=[8]
A4=[")]
The result will then look like this: =INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S8"), then I
copy all the values created by this method (it could be several
thousand)
and past them into the appropriate worksheet using: past special > past
values.
The problem is that in order for the text string to turn into an active
formula I have to go into each individual cell (F2) and hit Enter. When
I am working with thousand of cells this is not very feasible.
I have attached a small file with a very simple conditional formatting formula used to turn a block of cells green.
However, the formula does not seem to work properly as it only turns half of the cells green. Columns B1 to B18 are also supposed to turn green, but instead remain clear.
can I set a cell in excel so that if a number in a different cell is above a certain number it will turn green and another cell to turn red. I have attached the file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have attached a sample file. All the data is inserted into this file via a text file, except one column "G". Someone in this forum was kind enough to help me in being able to include the city name 'G' to a parcel number 'A'. However, the page is constantly trying to complete 'Calculations' and won't let me do anything without first hitting 'Control Break'.
This is fine except that when I try to save the file into .txt, I don't have the option of 'Control Break' and I have to end up closing the file. As the 'real' file has over 100,000 rows, nothing happens very fast. I have tied changing the 'Calculation Options' but that doesn't seem to change anything.
The use of * as a wildcard in excel can be extremely useful, however, can it be turned off? I work in the education sector and am currently number crunching GCSE results. When it comes to calculating A* grades versus A grades, B grades, etc, I cannot seem to do it because of the wildcard.
Is there a button in Excel you can press that will turn gridlines on/off rather than going through the tools/options/gridlines route?

Then do the same in column D, paste into column A.
And finally the same in column E, paste into column A.
But I think the autofilter turning on and off might be a problem.

Dim LastRow1 As Long
RAnge("C1").Select

Without using VBA can you suppress alerts in Excel?
Specifically when you are creating copies of many sheets in a workbook,
"A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "Month", which already exists on the destination sheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?"
The reason for turning the alerts off is that the answer is always yes and it appears too many time in this workbook.
How can I silence the annoying beep heard whenever a msgbox pops up or an error box appears?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Column 'A' I have part numbers. In Column B I have suppliers that supply that part number. My report drops into excel as per the below table. My issue is if a part number can be supplied by more than one supplier it duplicates the part number in Column 'A' based on how many suppliers can supply that part number In Column 'B' it will list each supplier for that part number In the table below you can see that part number 1122 can be supplied by supplier 'ABC' and also 'DEF' - Part number 9966 can be supplied by 3 different suppliers so lists the part number 3 times in Column 'A' and in column 'B' it lists each supplier i.e. 'TUV', 'WX' and 'YZ'
What I want to be able to do is the suppliers in Column 'B' be listed in the cells to the right of the part number and dupliactions in Column 'A' be removed
'A' 'B'1122
ABC
1122
DEF
9966
TUV
9966
WX
9966
YZ

I'm trying to turn calculation to manual, but there does not seem to be an Options button under tools on the mac I'm using. I've checked another mac and it is also missing. I'll probably end up using a pc for the calculations anyway, but I was wondering if anyone knew what was up?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a long list (almost 17,000 rows) with two columns (ID and Code). There are about 1400 IDs, each with multiple codes:
ID Code
1 ab
1 mn
1 hh
2 mn
2 hh
3 ab
etc.
I need to turn the list into a table that looks like this:

Each ID has a different number of codes (anywhere from 1 to 89).
I know I can right click in cell and choose from the items, but can I actually make the cell a drop-down box, like on websites? Meaning, can I choose which options/numbers/letters/choices I want in the drop down, and be able to right click and highlight one?

View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery so often I get a spreadsheet form some one else, and when I start to edit it formulas turn immediately into values.
For example, I enter a =10/2 ,when pressing enter, the cell displays correctly the result, 5. But when I click into the cell, instead of having the formula
=10/2, the only value inside is 5.
How do I keep this happening ??? I want the cells to keep the formulas.
Is there a formula I can use that will look at the following in an excel cell Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014-01-26.xls
and then convert that into the date value 41,300. And the same thing for all other cells with the same format...so if was Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014-01-23.xls the formula would convert it to 41,297.
Not sure if this can be done. Here is a example of my project
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains several formulas that return #value! errors. My formulas are correct and I can remove the error by using an "if" function, but there are a lot of these cells. I just want to make the error show blank to make my workbook look nicer without having to write formulas to avoid the error messages. Is there something I can add in the VBA worksheet function to turn off these errors?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to calculate turn around time between two sets of data reflecting both a starting date and time and obviously an ending date and time. This should reflect work hours meaning a day that starts at 08:00 and end at 16:30.
That would be a start and would be great if someone can show me how to calculate this.
But obviously people don't work on Sundays and only work from 08:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays... Can't even imagine how one would take this into account.
I have a series of sheets in my workbook , each sheet has a piece of VBA code that is identical. On my master sheet I want the user to be able to turn on/off this piece of code with the toggle of a button.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B9,D9,")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Offset(-1, 1) = "" Then.......

I have a couple formulas in action to give me the total number of hours worked from start to finish.

I have many dates 1/21/06,2/1/06,3/16/06,1/23/06 etc...I wish to convert into month only such as

I tried month(1/21/06) but it does not work. Is there a function to do this?
