Conditional Format top/mid/bottom 33% of cells, but ignoring blank cells
Hello, I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....hope Im making sense! Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far:(using excel 2003) Top 34%: =IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D $38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))<=D3 Middle 33% =IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*67%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D $38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))<=D3 Rest of the data (bottom 33%) =IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*100%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D $38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))<=D3 and Top 34%: =D3<=PERCENTILE($D$3:$D$38,0.34) Middle 33% =D3<=PERCENTILE($D$3:$D$38,0.67) Bottom 33%: =D3<=PERCENTILE($D$3:$D$38,1)

Can't format numbers for France in Excel 2003
I'm using the US version of Excel 2003, but need to format costs, etc., for a project in the French euro format (e.g., I need 2050.45 euros to display as 2 050,45). That currency format isn't offered in my dialog box, and if I make a custom number format that will display correctly, it doesn't operate as a number. Any suggestions?

I have a CSV file where the text elements in quotes have embedded linefeeds 123,"12/08/2009","is a new{LF}line","" where {LF} is an actual linefeed, char(10) I can open it directly in Excel 2007, which ignores these line breaks. However, the US m/d/y dates come out incorrectly because my locale uses d/m/y But if I open it in VBA with a Text Query (to parse the m/d/y date formats) it does not import into Excel correctly. The text columns have linefeeds inserted that force a newline so the line is correct up to the LF then the record continues on...
