combining data in multiple cellsis it possible to combine data from more than 2 cells without losing the data
from the cells? i know i can concatenate 2 cells, but what about data from 3
or more cells?

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

restricting entry into a cell based on entry to a previous cellI have a group of cells for an inventory sheet. I want to prevent double or
incorrect entry. For example, if there is any entry into cell F6 they cannot
place an entry into F7 or F8. The same would apply for entry into F7 which
would restrict entry to F8 and F6. Can this be done?
Use Data Validation

If cell value is greater than another cell value, clear contents.Okay, hopefully this is the last question today!
I've found the below formula in one of the posts here, but my brain has
completely failed on me and I'm not sure how to adapt it to my requirements.
I have a value which is entered by the user after a prompt, that populates
in cell G4 in a sheet called 'Lookup'. For arguments sake, the current value
is 30/11/09.
I have another worksheet, 'Data', which has a column populated with dates
(say column B). I'd like a macro that looks in column B on the data sheet,
and clears out any dates which are gr...
How do I get brackets in format cells accounting?In Excel 2000, "format cells accounting" got me brackets around negative
numbers. Excel 2003 gives me a negative sign. Is there any to change this?
I know I can get the format I want in custom, but this seems to require
formatting each cell.
Highlight all the desired cells. Right click and select Format Cells. From
the Number tab you can select the desired view.

Increase numbers in cellsOne of my co-workers wants to increase the numbers in each cell by 10, 100 or
1,000.
Is there a way to do this without going through and changing each and every
cells. I was thinking about putting those values in a cell and then putting a
formula in the cell to multiply the value of that cell by that value. But
then that would require putting those values in a different area as well.
Thanks for the help!

Fill a spreadsheet automatically after one cell is inputOkay, I know how a normal autofill works. However, how do I do it in
this case?
Spreadsheet has formulae. User makes a selection and VLookup instantly
populates the rest of the table with information. So how do I
instantly populate said spreadsheet where it autofills the row once it
is selected. An IsBlank() formula works in theory, but then I have to
autofill the first 500 rows or so. I want something that just
dynamically moves to fill the row as the user gets to it.
Is it possible?

I saw somebody else extract part of a cellIn my list, there are inventory numbers in columns, like such:
023012977500000
023015877700000
What I would like to do is somehow get rid of the first set of
numbers, the "0230" set, and also the end set, the zeros. I saw
somebody at work do something similiar once, with a command or
function...it looked like he was telling it to count over X places,
then get the rest of the numbers maybe?
Any suggestions?

use MID. If your data is in cell A1, then in another cell on the same row,
say B1, put:
=MID(A1,5,LEN(A1)-9)

Best way of "mirror" several cell areas on one sheet to others?I have several areas with information I want in the exact same cells in
other sheets [in the same workbook]. I first ran a macrorecording, but of
cource there is problems with that -
- It take a lot of time and power
- Difficult to do with worksheet_change or worksheet_deactivate without loop
because you need selections in the different sheets and that make events.
I have tried Function ='Sheet1'!B34 in cell Sheet2 B34 because it run on a
more effective code and not on a vb overlap. In that case you need a

Copy FunctionI hope I can explain what I need to do.
In cell A2 I want to copy the number that is in cell P37
In cell A3 I want to copy the number that is in cell P38
(repeat for 8 rows, ending with..........)
In cell A11 I want to copy the number that is in cell P46
Skip 5 rows and continue pattern
In cell A17 I want to copy the number that is in cell P52
Is there a way to key in on cell P37 and tell the next line to copy the
result in one cell below P37
In the final row it would say something like copy the result of 13 rows
below P37.
Thanks to whoever wants to tackle an explanation.

conditional formatting of cells based on result in hidden cellI have a column (Z) that reflects status for each record (rows). I want to

hidden - but has the calculations).
I have four options that I need to be able to develop a corresponding color
for for the cells in Z.
My understanding of other code examples that have been posted using Target

cell.

Remove Duplicate Numbers in One CellMy worksheet has one column in which each cell has one and two-digit
numbers separated by spaces, such as
1 18 22 5 1 31 8 11 6 1
I want to remove all the duplicate numbers in each cell, leaving only
one instance of each number in there. (1 and 11 are different
numbers, of course). I've tried a few solutions, but they're clunky
and inelegant and take a long time to do these thousands of cells.
Anyone have a better way?

Possible to shade cell slightly but that only shows up on screen + not printout? [XL2003]I have a form that is built in Excel that is quite challenging to fill
in because fillable cells aren't always readily apparent. Since it's
a form that although filled out on the computer is to be printed out,
it has many empty cells that do not require data entry and that are
just the "background" white of the document. Is there a feature in
Excel that would allow us to colour in those "background" parts of the
form in something like a light grey that only shows up on the screen
as that colour yet that prints out as clear of colour (white, in other
words) so that...
Linking a Visio shape to an Excel data cellI am more than new to Visio. I am making timelines that will show various
stages of a product. I have created cylindrical timelines, and I can import
my Excel data.
Is there a way for me to link various cells types (Beta 1, Beta 2) to Visio
shapes so that instead of a date the shape will be shown on the timeline?
That is, can I configure Visio so that every Beta 1 automatically displays as
a timeline square and every Beta 1 automatically displays as a timeline
diamond? (And if so, how?)

The later, unless you create a batch (bat file) file to do the copying
for you, but it is still one destination at a time.

Hi Evan,
Take a look at HELP, index, specifications
Turn on word wrap -- format, cells, alignment, wrap text
Use some Alt+Enter to extend a limitation that may not
have been worded properly.
adjust your row height if needed.

Any way to change all references to one column (in a cell) to another column?I have an array of cells that all refer to cells in column A (A30,A32

Your can use the Edit, Replace to do this. Example
highlight the cells to change, then in the 'Find what'

and so on.

You can hyperlink a cell to an image stored elsewhere or to an image stored
within the workbook.
How you do it depends upon the purpose of the linking and the ultimate results
you are looking for.
