    - Changing Columns and Rows around to sort Excel 2003 - SP2 I have a spreadsheet given to me by a co-worker. Example: A1 B1 Name John Title HR Department HR This goes down about 1500 rows. 300 some people are listed. Is there an easy way to have the Column become a row. Example: A1 B1 C1 Name Title Department John HR HR Joe IT IT If I could take this sheet and do that it would make life so much easier and I could sort by it. Is there a good way of doing this?

    - How to sort date columns? I have a spreadsheet with the following column headings: Name Occupation Start Date Termination Date The issue that I'm having is that I'm trying to sort by the termination date. Not all employees have a termination date so therefore their row is blank. I need excel to be able to sort by termination date but I also need it to place all people that have a termination date at the bottom of the spreadsheet. I tried to sort by the termination date but it's doing the opposite of what I would like. It places all that have a date at the top followed by the blanks. Is there something that I can do to solve this issue? Thanks for your help Tag: Bi-weekly date formatting Tag: 770213

    - Excel Hyperlink to Worksheet I have embedded hyperlinks in various worksheets which I have then saved as web pages. The web page links will take me to the workbooks but they ignore the worksheet portion of the address. E.g.: this address "MonthlyReport.xls#Summary!A1" will open "MonthlyReport.xls" but it will not take me to the "Summary" worksheet. It seems to default to whatever worksheet I was in the last time I saved the workbook. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks! Tag: Bi-weekly date formatting Tag: 770166

    - problem with zip codes and filter I'm trying to sort a spreadsheet by zip code and some zips show as "06901" and others show as "6901". When I sort for one I don't get the other. I tried to manually put a "0" before the the "6901" code and excel will not let me. Which is weird because it will allow it to be imported from another program like that.

    - Wrap text in merged cells VBA I have merged cells that need to wrap text. I used the VBA code several of you provided and it is working great for the most part. The problem I am running into is when I have more than one set of merged cells on the same row. I have applied text wrap to each of them. Let's say I type in several lines of text in the first merged cell unit and it wraps the text perfectly and auto fits the cell. However, if I type only a single line of text in the next merged cell unit in the same row, the whole row autofits to that single line and covers up my multiple lines of text that I just typed in the previous merged cell unit. Any suggestions on what may be the problem? If I need to try to explain further I will. Much thanks! Tag: Bi-weekly date formatting Tag: 770156

    - Open Text Files in Excel, Changed Behavior For years I have opened text files in Excel using the right-click "Open With..." in Windows. The files opened without triggering the Import Text Wizard and were imported in one column. As of yesterday (without any apparent changes to Excel or Windows), this behavior changed. Now when text files are opened using "Open With...", Excel "figures out" where it thinks the columns breaks should be. (Again the Import Text Wizard is not triggered opening files this way.) I've searched for settings that determine how Excel opens text files by default, but found none. Any ideas on how to go back to right-click opening the "one-column" text files?

    - Formula Help for Duplicate Entries I have a spreadsheet of 3000 contact names I am trying to assign these in the most "fair" fashion to account resps. My thought was to create a colum called "account_rep" I then put account_rep_name1 account_rep_name2 account_rept_name3 In, colum1,Row 1 account_rep_name1 colum1,row 2 account_rep_name2 colum2,row 3 account_rept_name3 colum1,row 4 account_rep_name1 colum1,row 5 account_rep_name2 colum2,row 6 account_rept_name3 the pattern continues respectively through the list to row 3000. However, what has happened is that there may be more than one account rep assigned to an account. For example in the list I have. account_rep_name1 Suzie Queen ABC Company account_rep_name2 Suzie Queen ABC Company account_rept_name3 Suzie Queen ABC Company so, I want to assign unique rep to the account the first time his name hits the account down the list.

I have a program in excel that creates a rota card for offshore workers. Typically we work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off ( some 2 on and 3 off). Our rota will change to 2 weeks on and 3 weeks off and I would like to change the VBA to make the program do this new rota. To me, this is an extremely complicated VBA as I manage to muster through VBA with basics.

    - Hiding Results of Answers for a Quiz Hi, Looking for some help here please. I currently have a quiz set up, with simple questions in the A Column. The delegate places their answer in the B Column, and the C Column then states whether it is correct or not. Used the following formula : =IF(B2="A","CORRECT",IF(B2="","",IF(B2="B","INCORRECT"))) What I need, is for the formula to only be applied once the delegate indicates that they are finished the whole test. (i.e. clicks a cell marked as a "Finished" button). I need to know 2 things: 1. How to set up a cell like a "finished" button for example. 2. How to get the formula not to apply until the finished button has been selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Tag: Bi-weekly date formatting Tag: 770126

    - Scheduleing Employee Twice I just recently posted with a question about a formula to not be able to schedule an Employee if they requested a day off, and it worked great. Thanks to T. Valko. They gave me the formula =MATCH(A3,B$5:B$23,0) to assist on my question. I was wondering if I need to use the same basic formula for my next problem area. I have tried using it, but to no prevail. Question: In cell B4:B23 I have a list of all the Employees for that DAY SHIFT and what times they come in, as well the position they work. (a drop down menu is in use to select employee names) In cell H4:H23 I also have a list of all the employees for that NIGHT SHIFT what times they come in, as well as position they work. (a drop down menu is in use to select employee names) I would like to know if there is a way to prevent a user from scheduleing the same employee twice in a day in two different positions. We have had problems in the past where the Manager scheduled an employee twice in the same day, and we were left short handed. Of course we have some employees work between shifts so they are oviously going to be on both shifts; as well as splits. (no problem there is it shows that we have an employee scheduled twice in that sense). Tag: Bi-weekly date formatting Tag: 770066

    - macros help... I have a vertical list of 4 digit numbers that I want to add a zero(0) to the beginning of the number. For example a number might be 3324 and I want to add a 0 to the left of the 4 digits to end up looing like 03324. The problem is this: This vertical list of numbers is almost 1200 lines deep. Some of the numbers in this list are already 5 digits, whcih is what I want. I need every number on each line to be 5 digits long. I did create a macro to add the 0 to the 4 digit number, then drop down to the next line, but when I run the macro again for the next line, it changes the number on the next line to the same number on the line above. I want to be able to start in a cell, hit Ctrl G and have it add a 0 to the 4 digit number in that cell, then drop down a line and allow me to hit Ctrl G to do the same thing to the 4 digit number in that particular cell. The left column in the spreadsheet looks like this: 2345 2365 2476 2490 And when I get through I want it to look like this: 02345 02365 02476 02490 What it is doing now is this: 02345 02345 02345 02345 It's changing each number in each row to look exactly like the number in the first row.

    - Excell 2003 / 2007 I downloaded the test-drive version of Excell 2007. Since the expiration has expired, all my Excell files are saved as 2007 as read-only. Does anyone know how I can convert those files back to 2003? I read a posting that said save them as a 2003 file. How do I do that? I appreciate any assistance.

    - how to filter spreadsheet by multiple variables? I know I can use autofilter to find certain criteria that exist in rows within the same column. Is it possible to sort by mutiple variables, like 2 or 10? Say I have a column with variables a-z. Is it possible to filter all the rows with b,c, j, p and x?

    - is there a way to make info from one cell migrate to another cell I'm not sure how to describe this. I have a row of information and some of the cells need to change daily. I'd like to keep a record of the info for the past couple of weeks. Right now I'm doing the tedious work of cutting and pasting the info in each cell before I change it. is there a way to get the info from one cell to migrate to another cell immediately after I type it, then the next time I type in the cell for the info to migrate to the next successive cell?

To define a payroll bi-weekly payperiod. ie. 02/24/08 - 03/08/08
Want to enter one date in cell C4. say 03/14/08
I know that the formula =C4-19 will get the start date 02/24/08.
I know that the formula =C4-6 will get the ending date 03/08/08.

How do you format the two expressions together (with a dashed between) into
a single cell: 02/24/08 - 03/01/08 ?

Thanks

If cell C4 contains 3/14/08 then in another cell =TEXT(C4-19,"mm/dd/yy - ")
& TEXT(C4-6,"mm/dd/yy") will produce 02/24/08 - 03/08/08

If you mean entering any date from the end of the previous pay period up to,
but not including, the last day of the present pay period then try:

=TEXT((C4-7)-MOD(C4-7,14)-6,"mm/dd/yy")&" -
"&TEXT((C4-7)-MOD(C4-7,14)+7,"mm/dd/yy")
