How do I hide zero values but keep currency format in P.O. form?
I'm creating a purchase order for our company and am having trouble formatting some cells. I need a currency value in the Total section only if there is a value in the Quantity and Unit Price section. I formatted the Total cells to Currency. But if there are no values in Quantity or Unit Price, zero values appear in the Total cells. How do I format the total cells to only show price values when there are values in Quantity and Unit Price? When you format a cell as currency you get a custom format like this (depending on the otpions you chose)... $#,##0.00;[Red]$#,##0.00 Choose the ...

Default Page Format set to custom, can't change.

"Too many formats used"!!!
I have a large spreadsheet with multiple input forms which is almost complete. I am unable to progress further as Excel will not allow me to format any more cells with a "Too many formats used" message being displayed I understand that I need to reduce the amount of formatting that has been used, but my endeavours to do so simply pops up the same message. Is there a simple way to reduce the number of formats used in a spreadsheet either globally or per worksheet? Or any other solutions to this problem Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Hi for dealing with too many cell for...

IRR function
When we calculate an IRR using the IRR function with yearly and monthly cash flow payments we are getting very different results. The monthly payments sum up to the yearly payments. Any insight would be appreciated. Since you don't use dates with IRR, it calculates the return *per period*, i.e. monthly rate if you enter monthly cash flows, annual rate if you enter only 1 cash flow per year. Are you taking that into account? On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 06:01:27 -0700, <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >When we calculate an IRR using the IRR function with >yearly and...

Pasting Access table into Excel; can't use SUM function
We have 200+ Oracle database tables that we use to create queries and make tables. We create select queries on a daily basis that are comprised of approx. 8,000 to 14,000 records. We usually take this information and paste it into Excel for analysis. Recently, we upgraded from NT 4.0 WS to XP Pro. We noticed that when we now paste our information into excel, the formatting is changed. Numbers that we could easily SUM before, no longer respond to the sum function. When we use the SUM function, the function does not recognize the cell as a number and responds with '0'. When...

FRx row format account labels
Hello: When an FRx row format is created by using "Edit...Add Rows from Chart of Accounts" and so forth, how does FRx determine the name of the account to place within the row? What I'm getting at is that a row format that is based on the natural account segment can represent several accounts--for example, an account that represents several departments--can be "divided" into different departments based on the segment of the account. So, for an account that has as many as ten departments, how does FRx determine the name for the account. The account description ...

copy and paste formatting
Hi I am copying and pasting individual files - over 100 of them into 1 file. Each time I paste a new one in the file it keeps it formatting rather than conforming to the format of the file it is being pasted into (ei font type and size and margin settings).

customizing chart column color formats in code

However, I currently format the columns manually to make certain groupings a given color and another group of columns a different color and so forth. I would like to automate this.

Question Regarding Excel 2007 Formatting Corruption
Hi Folks, I am having a problem with Excel 2007 files losing all formatting (merged cells, colors, borders, and data formatting (99% turns into 0.99)) when I open a file on our office server make edits and then save the new file on the server. Each sheet usually has a mix of locked and unlocked cells and I unprotect the sheet to make edits. Also, something is fundamentally changed with the file as its size doubles or triples. If I reopen the corrupted file and redo any of the formatting and try to save it none of the new formatting is retained either. Has anyone else ever experienced a pr...

Time Format #6
I'm having a problem adding together journey times. I have a start time (say 8:34:00) and an end time (say 10:23:00) and from this I calculate a journey time (1:49:00). I then add this journey time (using the sum function) across a number of different journeys giving me a total. This total is in some case in excess of 24 hours and Excel seems to revert to 0 at 24 hours and start the sum again. So for example I can see when I highlight the range that the total is 27:49:00 but the sum function returns 03:49:00. Any ideas? Cheers Lee Use a custom format: [hh]:mm:ss The []...
