>Is it possible to number items in a cell? If there's some kind of unique delimiter that separates the items then you can count the delimiters and add 1. For example: 1,2,3 You'd count the number of commas and add 1. So, that cells contains 3 items red yes no blue You'd count the number of space characters and add 1. So, that cell contains 4 items. You should post some examples. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Maanu" <Maanu@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:19D173A6-3C20-463F-BC26-9DAB17AD22D8@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > Is it possible to number items in a cell? > > This number should automatically increment when I enter a new item at the > end of the cell as in microsoft word. > > Thanks!

One method: In A1 enter a 1 In A2 enter: =IF(OR(B2>0,B2>""),A1+1,"") and copy down (you could then hide column A) In C2 enter: =A2&" "&B2 and copy down Now in column B (starting in B2) enter your data. Column C should give you the desired result "Maanu" wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to number items in a cell? > > This number should automatically increment when I enter a new item at the > end of the cell as in microsoft word. > > Thanks!

>All the items given below is in the same cell >if I press alt+enter the next item should start with 4. Yikes! I don't know how you'd do that all in the same cell. In fact, I'd love to see someones solution. I don't think it can be done. While you're typing data into a cell Excel is in Edit mode. Nothing can happen in Excel while you're in Edit mode until you actually enter the data in the cell by either hitting the Enter key, the tab key, one of the directional arrow keys or clicking the "enter" icon. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Maanu" <Maanu@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1FBFE188-4E97-4386-92CE-6E79EDA34A97@microsoft.com... > An example is given below.

Cannot be done. Excel knows nothing about bulleted lists. You will have to enter the "4." manually after Alt + Enter on 3.

Site-specific config items
I've got an ASP.NET 3.5 website on a shared-hosting server, and of course my own development copy. Data is in a SQL Server database. I've looked at some of the strategies available to configure the connections string appropriately for each site without accidentally overwriting one with the other. One of them, to define the data connection string in machine.config, is unavailable to me on the production website, but I was thinking about doing it this way: Suppose my site is as follows Root --App1 --App2 I have two ASP.NET applications, and I don't have anything d...
Copy Data from One Group of Cells to Another Group
I have five columns of data on two different sheets in the same workbook. One set of columns is sorted in ascending date order the other in descending date order. When I enter data into the last row of Sheet 1, I need the data in that row in columns A, B, C and D to be copied into Sheet 2 columns A, C, D and E in a newly inserted row 14. Is this possible with the use of a macro? I can find the last cell in Sheet 1, but then need to go up one row and back to column A. I am having difficulty with that. Thanks is advance for any assistance offered! /s/ Alan Auerbach On Sat, 26 May 2007, ...
Automatic Number Sequence
I would like to make a form in excel that automatically generates a number of the form in one of the cells. How can I go about doing this, that everytime I print a sheet it automatically generates a new number in the sequence? I have tried playing around with macros and it doesn't seem to change, only stay at a specific number. Is there an easier formula that this can be done with or do I have to use macro's and how do I do it with macro's if that's what's required?? It's a product information form for new products that need entering into the system. Hi Awissa, ...
Copy cell contents, then paste into the same cell with other text.
Hi! I tried a search first and couldn't find anything like this. My spreadsheet has a column for shipping that takes a series like this for each product: ?0.0*0.13.2*d*0x0x0:07:24:04 Following the question mark is the handling charge (0.0 in this example). This is followed by an * and then the weight of the item (0.13.2 in this example which is 13.2 ounces) I have a list of product weights in a colum with just pounds and ounces. I need to copy that information, then paste it into the weight area of the string above and then paste those modified contents back into t...

QSSession Rules & during a live transaction getting the item
I am developing a hook and one of the TRANSACTION class has a ENTRIES method which allows you to use ELEMENTS for example mySession.Transaction.Entries.Element(1).Description works just fine and so does everything else, but the mySession.Transaction.Entries.Element(1).Item does not work and I think it is because this has a different datatype than a string or an integer so I can not get it to work or read anything for the ..Item part of my hook. Any ideas or suggestions of where to go with this? Thank you. ClothingStore wrote: > Any ideas or suggestions of where to go with this? > T...
Item Notes
We need to frequently update and add notes for items in Great Plains 9.0. Updating existing notes is very simple since a noteindx entry already exists in the SY03900 table. Adding notes is a different issue since the noteindx is 0 and no enty exsits in the SY03900 table. Has anyone created a routine in which to bulk load item notes which will create the correct noteindx entry in the IV00101 table and an entry in the SY03900 table? Does anyone know where the system stores the last noteindx value? Thanks The next note index is stored in the NOTEINDX field for the specific company i...

Number Rows on a report?
It would be anice addition if I could add numbers (a count) in front of each row on my filtered report. Any easy way to do this. I was thinking an unbound text box with something in the control source - I just don't know the something :) Any help here will be appreciated.

'Text' instead of number
I have spent two days manipulating data (about 300,000 cells' worth) I imported as Fixed-Width (from MAS-90, if anyone cares). The final step involves multiplying two numbers. The POSITIVE numbers imported fine, the NEGATIVE numbers imported as X.000- and give me a #VALUE! error when I use any math function with them. I have tried the Trimall macro. I am guessing that somehow Excel thinks the '-' is a DASH and not a negative... How do I change that????
