    - adding a leading 00 to some loan numbers I've got several thousand loan numbers which need to be updated to a ten-digit format by adding a leading 00. That's easy enough to do, HOWEVER, some of them have already been updated with the leading 00. What formula can I use to add 00 only to those which have not already been updated? Thanks. -- alan Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138799

    - Counta not calculating correctly??? Count anyone shed some light on this issue. I am using the statement n = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells(i, 13), Cells(i, 17), Cells(i, 22)) I am trying to get a value for how many of the 3 cells have data in them. While watching my n count I am seeing it reading 2 when there is clearly only data in one of the cells. Any idea why this would be reading incorrectly?

The file utilizes several macros, VLOOKUP and COUNTIF commands. My question is if this file is distributed throughout the general public, what do you believe could be some unforeseen compatibility issues I am not aware of as it will obviously be opened on several versions of Operating Systems and versions of Excel? Do I have a 50% chance of success that it will be compatible? What would be your guess at the percentage of success? What are my options to make it more successful throughout more OS systems and Excel versions? Will some type of compatibility pack be the answer? Thanks for the anticipated help.

I am at =RIGHT(A1,8) which takes the postcode from the end of the address and enters ino cell A2 but I thought i may have been able to add the UPPER to the end of the function but this does not work. I can do this as =UPPER(A2) in cell A3 but was hoping to undertake the augument in the same cell. Also can I adapt the augument to include where I only have 6 characters ie LN24tb?

However if I open two Excel files - they open in the same Window. The benefit of having two separate windows is that they can be placed side-by-side esp. if you have multiple monitors.

    - Match & Index function - Cell format problem that is keeping it from Hello - I am trying to use the Match and index functions together. Typically, I have been able to match and pull in the data without a problem. But now that I am using a text file that I export into excel, I am running into problems. Basically, the formula won't work (even though I have tried trimming the data, changing all columns to text, general, and number. The only way that the formula works is when I copy and paste the actual reference cell into the reference array from the range that I am seeking to pull in the data. So for example, my formula reads: =INDEX(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH(Sheet1! A419,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)), but the only way that I get the data from Sheet2 column B is by physically pasting Sheet1!A419 into column A in in Sheet 2. Then and only then will the values from Column B in sheet2 appear in Sheet 1-- as the formula is intended to do. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Does the function typically work better when the sheets are formatted as general, versus number, versus text? Thanks for any suggestions. (Also, another problem I am experiencing with the files----and it may be related-----is that the formulas will not work altogether. That is, any formula that I punch into the cell does not produce a value, but instead the cell shows the formula when I press enter. However, this I am usually able to fix by formatting the book as general and then retyping the formula in the cells). Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138657

    - Something New Excel 2003 SP2. I've been revising a workbook and came across an Excel quirk that's new to me. I haven't read about anything similar in the newsgroups. The workbook in question usually has all worksheets protected and the workbook protected, but I've unprotected the workbook and all worksheets and unhidden all but one worksheet. Some of the worksheets have embedded spaces in their names. There are no worksheet events, but there are workbook Open, Activate, Deactivate and BeforeClose events. There's also one udf, named HasFormula, that takes a Range object as its argument and returns TRUE/FALSE if the first cell in that range has a formula. I only use this udf in conditional formatting formulas. I'm editing formulas in one of the worksheets that's usually hidden. Call it Sheet C. The formulas were something like ='Sheet B'!X99 and I want to change them to =IF('Sheet B'!X99<>"",'Sheet B'!X99,'Sheet A'!C123) I edit the formula in a cell in Sheet C, inserting the 'IF(' at the beginning, copying the original cell reference in the formula bar, appending '<>"",', pasting the cell reference, and appending a comma. Then I press [F2] to change to Enter mode, repeatedly press [Ctrl]+ [PgUp] to move to 'Sheet A', move to cell C123 in that worksheet (now in Point mode), type a right parenthesis and then press [Enter]. Here's the quirk: Excel tries to enter the edited formula into 'Sheet A'!C123 rather than into the cell in Sheet C that I began editing. Fortunately, 'Sheet A'!C123 has a validation rule that rejects the formula. I should also mention that Sheet A has separate frozen panes, and C123 is in the lower, unfrozen pane. Has anyone else had Excel do this? I can work around it, so I'm not looking for an immediate fix, but this is definitely annoying. If there's an easy fix, I'd be grateful for any pointers.

    - Stopwatch in Excel I'm creating a spreadsheet for logging railway performance timings. I need a stopwatch in excel that can give a split / lap reading, preferably when the enter key is pressed. I reckon it can be done with the now() function, as this can give the needed accuracy (1/100 second) if the format hh:mm:ss.00 is used. I've not got much experience with macros etc, so I would be very grateful for any suggestions on ways to go about this. Ideally, when the split button is pressed, it will give the split time and the difference from the previous split time in a new cell, so by the end I have a list of times. I will be able to use these to calculate average speeds etc. Thanks. Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138601

    - Saving All Documents when closing XL 2007 Hi All, I am upgrading to XL 2007 from 97 and having a problem which sounds simple but is annoying as hell. I have as many as 150 XL files open at one time (all linked to one another) and with office 97 I would exit XL and then be prompted to either save the files one at a time or "yes to all". The "yes to all" option does not appear when I follow the saem steps in 2007, is there an option somewhere where I can enable this or has this feature been dropped?

    - Arrays, Dates & Blank Cells Folks, I'm struggling to resolve this Execl formula. I've got a workbook with 2 sheets: Summary and Source Data. The workbook is used a template so that data exported from another system can be copied and pasted into the Source Data sheet and the Summary sheet will programmatically parse the data to provide the results that I am looking for. The Source Data sheet has a number of named ranges. My problem relates to the range named DATE (D2:D10000). This range contains dates formatted as "=DATE(2008,1,1)" for Jan 1, 2008 as an example. In virtually every case, there will be blank cells in the range since the data is less than 10K rows). The Summary sheet uses formulas to summarize the data contained in the Source Data sheet by month, category, and so forth. In cell $B$16, a numeral (1-12) is entered to specifiy the month for which the records in Source Data are to be summarized. I then use two formulas that examine the dates in the DATE range and provide the MIN and MAX date so the date range can be displayed. Here are the array formulas I am using to get these MIN and MAX dates: {=MIN(IF(MONTH(Date)=$B16,Date,"N/A"))} {=MAX(IF(MONTH(Date)=$B16,Date,"N/A"))} Here is my problem (assuming that the data in Source Data contains transactions from 01/01/08 through 03/06/08): When 1 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be 1-Jan-08) MAX returns 31-Jan-08 (correct) When 2 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 1-Feb-08 (correct) MAX returns 29-Feb-08 (correct) When 3 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 1-Mar-08 (correct) MAX returns 6-Mar-08 (correct) When 4 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be N/A) MAX returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be N/A) I think that the blank cells in the DATE range are screwing me up but I am at a loss on how to check for them and also how to report N/A when the month in $B$16 represents no transactions in the Source Data sheet. Appreciate any advice. Thanks, David Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138574

    - Determine Which Columns Are Hidden with VBA I have a spreadsheet which will be used by individuals to update an Access database. The columns are locked, but I do allow them to hide columns to make the data more customized. Periodically they will refresh their data from the database. In order to avoid forcing them to reformat to their preference (and thus encourage them to refresh more frequently) I would like to determine which columns they have hidden so I can unhide, update/append the new data, then hide the columns again. The same information would be advantageous, though less so for the autofilter properties. I have tried in vain to look at the help files and have not found the correct text with which to search in this group to find the answer. Thanks in advance if you can help.

    - Cell formulas that expire after a month I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track progress over the period of a year. One sheet is raw data that is manually entered daily and one sheet is monthly statistics based on that data. In the statistics worksheet are cell formulas calculating statistics relating to each month based on the raw data. If I change the data in March, I don't want January's or February's statistics to be changed. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, PaulH Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138567

    - Excel 2007 Conditional Formatting problem I have a conditional format that works fine on the previous version of Excel, but not so well on 2007. It is a formula condition: =AND($D$13 = "N",LEFT($D$6,2) = "AP")=TRUE D13 is the cell with the conditional format in it and D6 is a drop down of items, some of which start with "AP" and some of which start with "GL". (Basically, I'm having D13 turn red when D13 has a value of "N" and D6 starts with "AP".) It works just fine if you are changing the value of D13. It doesn't work at all if you are changing the value of D6-- UNTIL you hit F2 on D13 (or otherwise enter the edit-cell mode). Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks.

    - Creating a Pivot Table using multiple ranges Using Excel 2007, how do you create a pivot table using multiple ranges? The option does not appear in the Create Pivot Table wizard. I thought I could use something like this: 'Page 1'!$A$6:$T$28805:'Page 2'!$A$6:$T$28805 ; but it wasn't accepted as a valid range. Thanks, Ross Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138560

    - Counting Consecutive Months in Top Third Ok. I need to have a formula which would look at a number of columns and tell me now many 'consecutive' months someone has been in the top 33% of the numbers in that column to date. IE . . .Ann was in the top 33% in Jan and Feb but not in March so in March I would want the formula to spit out '2', In April I would want it to start over again at '1' (If in fact she was in the top 33% in March, if not then it should say '0'). Hardest part in figuring this out (in my head anyway) is how to get it to give me the number as of the current date. Figures =NON() would have to be in there somewhere but not sure how. Hope I explained all that properly. JAN FEB MAR Jane 34.5 44.6 77.8 Bob 22.3 12.5 34.6 Bill 32.6 87.7 44.4 Jill 44.3 66.5 34.8 Ann 87.6 55.2 15.6 Eric 74.5 33.3 13.8 Jim 44.7 22.8 22.3 Lisa 56.4 55.4 55.9 Sam 67.1 64.8 70.0 Tag: Show leading zeros (eg: 000123) Tag: 138553

    - pivot table percentages Using XP and Office 2003 I created a pivot table to analyze a group of email address extensions. (".com" or ".org" or ".gov", etc.) The pivot table returned the count of each extension type and the grand total. Now I want to create an additional column that will calculate the percentage of the total for each extension type. I built the first formula at the end of the first row of data in my pivot table. The problem I am having comes when I try to copy that formula down or even when I try to copy and paste special that formula. I do not understand the way the formula displays in the first cell where I built it, so I don't know how to correct the formula for ease of copying. Anyone know what I'm talking about??

When I import a file that originally had numbers such as "000123" in
excel, the number only shows 123. Is there a way for me to get the
cell to show 000123?

Thanks

Another option:

If you're importing the data from a text file that is named *.csv (comma
separated values), then try renaming the file to *.txt.

When you use file|open, you'll see a data import wizard where you can specify
the type of each field. You can use Text and all the digits will be kept.
