negative number format
I have a report uploaded to excel from a particular program used here at
work. In that program, negative numbers have the format of $###.00-, with
the minus sign at the end instead of the beginning.
When the data comes over to Excel the minus sign is still at the end of the
number. The text currently has a General Format with No Specific Number
Format. I have been manually moving the minus signs to the beginning in each
cell, then changing the Column to Currency Number Format which is very time
consuming. Is there a formula I can use in the Cell, Column and/or Worksheet
containing...
Change date format to European formatMy computer is set to European date format but Excel is default to American
date format. Can someone advise how to change this default setting.
Thanks,
Scott
Have you restarted Excel since setting the system date formatting? Excel
takes its cue from the OS on launch. Also, double-check the Regional setting
in the System Prefs.
If those aren't the cause you'll need to be specific about your version &
update levels of both Office & OS X plus any other details you can supply.

Formatting just some rowsThank you so much for that, it'll save loadsa time. I adjusted the formula
as the original sheet contined 11 columns of data.
Can you help with this part now?
The original sheet had dates in Column E (in the form Jan-03). Thay have
come through on the new sheet in the single column as 5 digit figures such
as 37622. Is there any way of getting
the original form of the date back, affecting just rows 5, 16, 27 etc...of
the new sheet? Perhaps I need to format just these rows on the NEW sheet.
A similar problem exists with column I of the original where the � sign has
been lost. Again is t...
freezing formattingI would like to be able to "freeze" the formatting for the number of decimal places in cells - some will need to be integers, some will need three decimal places, etc. The problem comes when I paste in information; the number of decimal places I have formatted the cell for is overridden by the pasted-in data. Any ideas?

Question about format of reply and format of message
I have two questions about OL2003:
1. Word is set as default editor. In replying message, sometimes I will get
extra lines on hitting Enter. It makes more space between paragraphs. Is
there any way to insert one line with one Enter?
2. I'd like to have special effect in replying text message sometimes, such
as change color of font, but it cannot be done unless changing the message
format to be rich text or HTML. If I uncheck Word as default editor, there
is an option in menu. What is it about with Word as editor?
Thanks,
Charles

Negative number formatting
Hi everyone, does anyone know how to do this? I hve a column of figures
some positive and some negative. I want to format them so taht th
negative numbers are expressed in (brackets) and also so that th
column itself is decimal aligned, so even if I don't use decimal place
the brackets "stick out". I know Word does this in tables, but I can'
seem to make Excel do it. Help! Thanks, Vicky. :confused

Format Smartlist fieldIs it possible to format a smartlist field? Let's say from 2 decimals to 4
decimals?

SmokyDuck
This is only possible in SmartList Builder SmartLists, not in the 'out of
the box' SmartLists. In SmartList Builder, you can click on the Display
Name of a field, then click the blue arrow in the header to go to Set Field
Options. For number fields there will be a tab called Decimal Places.

Conditional Formating HelpHi
I wonder if anyone could help me, I am after code for the following.
cell e6 = Keys Sent
Column f6 = Keys due
Column g6 = Keys received
What I want the script to do is if there is no value in g6 and todays date
is greater then the date stated in F6, then the cell turns red (prompt to
inform me that keys are late).
Many thanks
Dan
Use a CF formula of
=AND(G6="",TODAY()>F6)

Custom patterns for cell shadingHello,
Is there a way to add 'custom patterns' to the cell shading option?
I was hoping for a nice 'arrow pattern' for the conditional formatting.
(I'm doing a presentation of traffic flow, and for flow north or south [ie
if Northbound > Southbound, flow is northbound], I would like to graphically
show the flow.)
Any assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently using
windings arrows, but a form of pattern / conditional formatting would be
awesome.

Year series shows wrong in chartHi all : using Excel 2003, I have what should not even be a problem

there and how can I get it?

Grouping sales data into weekly bucketsI have sales data that I want to analyze in weekly buckets. I can group all sales in a month by using the MONTH formula. (MONTH(actual invoice date)). I was wondering if anyone knows of a way or has a suggestion for grouping sales by week. Some type of formula that has an output stating the week of the actual invoice date. Any suggestions?

You'll really need to introduce a week numbering formula and then
you'll be able to group into weeks more easily.

When copying from "date" cell to "general" cell, how to keep date.An Excel question for you: when I try to copy data from a "date" formatted
cell over to a concatenate formula in a "general" formatted field, it
transfers the data over as the boolean value. This is causing endless
headaches because I am trying to upload the information into our financial
software. Do you know a solution for this?
I think you mean the date comes over as the serial value.
If not, this may not be right. In the concatenate
function, embed the Text function. ex: A1 has 5/16/2004,
B1 has "TEST" in it. C1 formula would be =concatenate

How to format the value in a cell?Hello!

For example,it need the value in a cell to be "T".But a user may
enter " T","T ","t".The formatting function used here to trim the
space at the begining or end of "T",or change the "t" to upper case.
