Printing text box with hidden text
I'm looking for some help with a problem I'm having with a "drawing
tools" text box. I have a form that contains a text box. The problem
is when a user types into the text box and exceeds the box, they can
continue to enter text past what appears on the displayed box. When
the form is printed out, what ever was not displayed on screen is
truncated.
So, is it possible to limit the text box to be locked from scrolling?
Or, is there a way to get Excel to print the entire contents of the
text box?
Thanks for any help on this quirky problem.

Calculate within cell
I am using Excel 2003 for the PC.
I want to be able to perform arithmetic on an existing cell value,
e.g., A1 contains the value 45 and I wish to add other values to it.
Typing the equal sign obliterates the original entry. Double clicking
the cell might place the insertion point between numbers--this is
awkward. Pressing F2 places the insertion point at the end of the
value. This is also awkward because I must move the insertion point to
the beginning of the value to place the equal sign.
My Excel for 2004 for Mac has a calculator icon which when clicked
automatically enters the initial value into an on-screen calcultor.
Any suggestions as to how this might be efficiently done?

Record Duplication & Formatting Advise Please.....
I would be most appreciative if anyone could answer my questions below,
thanks Dermot.
I am looking for the best way to configure a column so that if I enter "yes"
it enters "Yes".....or if I enter "y" it enters "Yes". At the moment I am
using auto correct but I wondered if this is the correct use of this feature
and whether or not there is a better way.
I also looked at the "Proper " format, but can't seem to get it to work.
Looking up the help feature doesn't help.
The help example appears to be for one cell only I would like say all first
names and second names to start with capitals. I can't seem to set this up. I
end up with either the formula showing in one cell or a circular error. I
don't think I have to format each cell individually in a column?
How do I prevent individuals form entering "Duplicate" Rows (records) into
my spread sheets ALL suggestions and any links to an example would be
appreciated.
Can you advise me what the "Easiest On The Eye" text formating to use in a
spreadsheat? I have a few to tidy up and they are uncomfortable to view. I
have formatted them to look reasonably good but would be interested in
professional tips to improve them further.....any suggestions or links of any
tchnical level would be appreciciated
Any other suggestions how I can get to grips with the formatting ffeatures
would be appreciated.

If & Then
This is a tought one..........
I'm trying to make an IF function but don't know if what I want is possible.
In F33 I have 185,000.00 (this number changes every month)
If the user puts the correct verification code in F35 then L35 will say
"OK", If not, L35 will say "Wrong Code"
The problem is, to get the verification code on 185,000,00 one would count
the amount of digits in the number and then add the value of the digits.
185,000.00 is eight digits long, so the calculation would be:
8+1+8+5+0+0+0+0+0 = 22
So the verification code would be 22.
Is there such a formula in excel that could figure out the verification
code?
Thanks to anyone who can help me or who can tell me I'm crazy.

How should I do this?
I am using Excel 2000 and have a problem.
I have a spreadsheet from an associate that the tracks the purchasing of
steel.
MY PROBLEM:
Currently he types in the steel thickness on column C on a sheet named 2005.
He then looks a another page in the same workbook named Specification to
match up the pounds per square foot. For example 1/4" = 10.21 lbs. per
square foot.
After he looks at the specification page and matches his steel thickness
with the appropriate lbs. per sq. ft. he will put the answer (in this case)
10.210 in column D on the sheet named 2005.
I would really like to create a formula or something that will let him type
in whatever cell he may be at in column c and have the info. in that
particular cell go to the chart on the Specification page and find the
answer and put the answer in column D on the sheet named 2005.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?

Formulas in Pivot based on average
Hi
I cannot get Pivot to calculate with amount in column, it sumarises
from basesheet.
I have 3 columns in base sheet:
Costcenters (multiple times), cost element (only one pr. cost center),
cost
Then I use 2 vlookup's on costcenter to get an A&B allocation % (Total
100%) pr costcenter. This value I included in Pivot, but Pivot summed
up the number of times. F.ex on 1 costcenter I had allocation 75% Then
Pivot sumed up number of times 75% were looked up on that costcenter as
costcenter appeard in many rows as linked to different costselements.
I managed to use a max/average formula so now it actually shows right
values in Pivot, but when I want to use THAT value to calculate with
cost column in Pivot. But it stills calculate with the sum from
original sheet and not the value in The column in Pivot.
Cost Center; A; B; Costs; Sum of A
(formula (costs*A);
FA30202; 0,75; 0,25; 3 656 793; 137 129 724;
I want the answer 2 742 594. But as you see the answer Pivot gives me
is 137 129 724
Here Excel takes number of times 0,75 is in base sheet (50
costelements)=37,5
Somebody having a suggestion for this. Very greatfull if a solution
exists
