To display number in text format in cells
I have a sequence of digits like 5026555306553 I entered in a cell and when the cursor left the cell it displays as 5.02656E+12 How do I set the cell or the whole spreadsheet to display as text rather than this format?

Hi, Careful here, if you paste a number from a range onto a cell that is formatted as text the number will be stored as a number not as text, unless you tell it to paste values or paste formulas or basically you tell it to paste without formatting. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "RagDyer" wrote: > *OR* > > Format to TEXT *before* entering (pasting) the number. > -- > HTH, > > RD > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > "RagDyer" <ragdyer@cutoutmsn.com> wrote in message > news:%23I%2346iw2IHA.3544@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > Change the cell format to either: > > Number > > Accounting > > or > > Currency. > > -- > > HTH, > > > > RD > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > "Man T" <alanpltse_NOSPAM@yahoo.com.au> wrote in message > > news:e0UPKOw2IHA.4164@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > >>I have a sequence of digits like > >> 5026555306553 > >> > >> I entered in a cell and when the cursor left the cell it displays as > >> 5.02656E+12 > >> > >> How do I set the cell or the whole spreadsheet to display as text rather > >> than this format? > >> > >> > > > > > > >
ShaneDevenshireI'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that the OP is *primarily* concerned with displaying *all* the digits. Off the top of my head, I can't immediately see a difference between the 2, except for default left or right justification. Or ... maybe not totaling with the Sum() function.

I have tried checking the zero values box but still just takes the zero from the front which I need for the table I am trying to plan.

Stop displaying a line
I have a line graph/chart and it gets its values using a formula and the values of another column. However this poses a problem because if there is nothing in the targetted column the formula returns 0 cause the line to drop to the bottom, instead of casuing the line to just end until a value is added to the target column. How can I do this? Change your formula to use NA() if the cell is empty. For example: =IF(A1="",NA(),A1) To hide the resulting #N/A errors on the worksheet, you can use conditional formatting.

Getting a number to update
I have a form with a button that when clicked I would like to have it go to a file, get the number there, add one to it, and then save it back in that file as well as display it in the field on the form. I created a table for this number, but don't know how to program the button to do what I want it to do. The users need a new number only some of the time, and would then click the button. The number needs to be incremental by one. Would a query work best or an update? I am at a loss, please help. Thanks, First BackUp your data I assume that this table has only one record whi...

I need a way to hide the cells which aren't being used or move all the used cells to the top of the form, because at the moment Excel is printing out 4 pages of boxes when only one item is being ordered.

Email from CRM showing sender's email address, not display name
We recently installed CRM 4.0 as an upgrade from 3.0. When an email activity is generated and sent, the resulting email in Outlook only shows the senders email address in the From field, not the Display Name. As a matter of fact, the display name is not even included in the message header. We are using the CRM Email Router to send using SMTP. This happens whether the email is from a User or Queue. Anyone seen this yet? Is this a CRM issue or an Exhange issue. I seen it and then it disappeared :) publish the email router again . are you generating email through workflow? send emai...

Ignoring Blank/Empty Cells that contain formulas
I have a column row of formula's that take data from another worksheet, when there is an error in the original data it leaves the cell blank. Formula =IF(ISERR('JAN 2005'!Y55),"",'JAN 2005'!Y55) My problem is that there is a graph generated from this column and it treats all the blank cells as zero, this messes up the graph and shows it dropping to zero. (The errors alway happen at the end of the data) Is there a way to get the graph to ignore the zero figures or rebuild the formula to show the cell as truly blank?

Stop displaying a line
I have a line graph/chart and it gets its values using a formula and the values of another column. However this poses a problem because if there is nothing in the targetted column the formula returns 0 cause the line to drop to the bottom, instead of casuing the line to just end until a value is added to the target column. How can I do this? Change your formula to use NA() if the cell is empty. For example: =IF(A1="",NA(),A1) To hide the resulting #N/A errors on the worksheet, you can use conditional formatting.
