    - Vlookup referring to External Workbook or Spreadsheet I'm trying to use a vlookup formula and refer to a range name located in an external spreadsheet but it is not working. Formula is as follows: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)) The formula is 1st checking to see if the text in cell B13 is within the "fata" range in the external spreadsheet. If the text in B13 is not found, there would be an error. If there is an error, my IF statement should return a blank cell indicated by the double quotes (""). If the formula finds the text in cell B13, the value should be picked up from column 8 within the "fata" range. Somehow this formula is not valid but I'm not sure where? I feel very stupid right now so any help would be great. Thanks Tag: How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa Tag: 497542

    - End Down goes to infinity If column 1 has data in each of the, say, first 100 rows, and Iinsert an adjacent column 2 and ensure that column 2 is empty, then I enter data in the first cell of column 2, then I try to copy the new cell down all the way down to the bottom of the row that is the same as the last row of column 1, how can I take advantage of column 1? I sort of would like to press copy A2 then move left to column 1, then do End Down, then move back to column 2, then press Enter. But I always end up down at infinity at the bottom of Excel. Any clues? Thanks. Tag: How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa Tag: 497539

I need to sort through sheet 1 to create a list in sheet 2 that specifies product name per vendor (i.e. all the products from Pepsi). I tried the following formula, but it only works if there is 1 product from Pepsi. The formula in B2 is =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!B$2:C$1000,2,FALSE). What formula should I use to sort through sheet 1 to get all the products from Pepsi? Thank you in advance. Tag: How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa Tag: 497531

    - Using Lookup Function based on Font Color Hello! I have several rows of data currently in which I would like to pull data from. I could very easily use the LOOKUP function to do this. However, both the lookup range and vector range are all numbers. I only want the LOOKUP function to search for LOOKUP Values that are in a certain font color (red). To my knowledge, the LOOKUP Value can only be a number, text, logical value, or name or reference to a cell. Font Color is not one of my options. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing an easy step? Thanks for your time! Tag: How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa Tag: 497528

    - How to multiply hours by a dollar amount Thanks to Biff for helping me get the first of my timesheet problems figured out. Now I am hoping to be able to take the amount of hours and multiply it by a dollar amount to get a total. So I want to take 25:30 (column a) and multiply that by $5 hour (column c) to get a grand total. So I put in: =a28*c28 and it gives me $3.92 which is obviously not right. Column a is formatted as [h:mm] and column c is formatted as currency which I think is where my problem is but don't know what I need to do to fix it. Thanks for any insight.

    - Grabbing data from a specific cell Hello all, Iâ??m trying to get Excel to grab data from a specific cell on an external spreadsheet through a pastlink and populate that data to 2nd spreadsheet that will be tag as a read-only document (for view purposes only). The data in the first sheet will change when new lines are inserted above or are placed at the original cell location. example: First spreadsheet cell A5 has the number 5 in it, that data is pastelinked to a second (read only) spreadsheet where it is displayed. Now at row A4 I insert 4 new rows to allow room for the new data that will be copied here. The new data in the same A5 cell is 10 and needs to display 10 on the second spreadsheet. How do I stop excel from following the first A5 and populating that data on the second external spreadsheet. I only want it too give me the data that will be in the A5 cell even after the lines are inserted above. I have tried using the =$A$5 but when the lines are adding the cell that carries the formula adjust to the new lines add and the calculated cell reads =$A$9. So is there away to lock-in on a specified cell and it not adjust to the new inserted lines. Thanks In need of help Tag: How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa Tag: 497517

    - conditional formatting Thanks to Conan for answering my first similar question! I now have a follow-up question. Consider this data: Col A Col B Col C Col D Row 1 family_b bob family_b art Row 2 jim family_b bob Row 3 kirk family_d will Row 4 greg family_e sam 1) If "bob" in Col B is found in Col D AND "family_b" ($A$1 a constant) is NOT found in Col C, then "bob" in Col B turns blue. OR 2) If "bob" in Col B is found in Col D AND "family_b" ($A$1 a constant) IS found in Col C then "bob" in Col B turns red. I can accomplish either #1 or #2 separately. But i can't seem to put both together. ("bob" in Col B will turn red in above data. If I remove "family_b" from Col C then "bob" in Col B would turn blue. $A$1 will change with manual input to a different "family_x".)

I am trying to get the sum of hours and minutes each child is here during a month so I can easily figure out what to charge the parents. The problem I seem to be having is the total is always more than 24 hours so if I use the formula =SUM(D14:D20) the total only comes up as 0:00:00.

How do I stop excel from displaying stings of numbers pasted or imported into
excel as a scientific equation? Like 5.73E+08 when the real part number is
549575667.
The data displayed in the formula bar is the correct full number but Excel
displays the data with the decimal and "+", it does this with imported data
from Monarch as well as just a cut and paste from another program.
If it is one or two number s I can retype directly and it will not happen
but I am pulling data lists with thousands of part numbers. This problems
seems worse now that I have Office 2007.
Any suggestions?

If you enter 549575667 into a cell with a standard width of 8.43
characters, (64 pixels), Excel will display that as 5.5E+08 which is
scientific format not a scientific equation. All mathematical equations have
