Offset works for numbers, not for text
I have several cells containing calls to offset of the form: =OFFSET(Col1,Index,0) =OFFSET(Col2,Index,0) =OFFSET(Col3,Index,0) All but one of the columns have numeric data. They all work fine. One column has text data. The source cell is formatted as "text" as is the destination (where the formula above is). Instead of showing the text data, it shows the formula. I've ftried formatting the destination cell as Text, General, & Number. They all show the formula. Help!

Just re-formatting is not enough.

nicolausFormat the cell with the formula as General. The with that cell still selected, hit F2, then hit enter. Saved from a previous post. Excel likes to help. Try this on a test worksheet. Select A1 and hit ctrl-; (to put the date in the cell) now select B1 and type: =a1 Notice that excel changed the format of B1 to match the format in A1. Now format D1 as Text. put ASDF in D1 put =D1 in E1 You see ASDF. With E1 selected, hit the F2 key and then enter (to pretend that you're changing the formula). Excel has "helped" you by changing that cell's format to text. I don't know of any way of changing this behavior. I just select the cell, and reformat it to General (or whatever I wanted). I hit F2 and then enter (to reenter that formula). Sometimes this feature is nice, sometimes it ain't.

Changing the formatting to General, Number, or several others (not Text), got the same result. This is a very geeky program. It has exceeded even my geekiness.

In your earlier post, you said that you already changed the format to General. So excel was just waiting for you to "change" the cell.

I have no idea why it does this. But I know that it does. If you format the cell as general and your formula points at a cell formatted as text, then the first time you enter the formula, the cell will be treated as a General format cell containing a formula. But if you change the formula (or just hit F2 followed by enter), then excel will look at that sending cell and notice that it's Text and change the format. And like I described in my earlier post--sometimes it's useful (dates) and sometimes, it's not.

SUMPRODUCT not working?
Hi I need to sum a cell range (F2:F90) based on two conditions of two other cell ranges (D2:D90="XXX" and I2:I90=""), where the parameter of the first condition may change ("XXX" changes to "MFB", "TGDolfa", "GATV", etc.) and the second remains constant (I2:I90="").

Cash draw not working
I have RMS ver. 1.3 refresh installed with a serial epson tm u220 printer which is connected to a Dynapos cash draw. The printer is connected to the PC via a 20 ft serial cable and it uses a windows driver. The printer and cash draw have been configured but only the printer works, the draw does not pop open when a receipt is tendered. With a parallel printer connected to the pc both the printer and cash draw work. Can anyone tell me why i can't get the draw to function with the serial printer? Thanks did you check the 'pop cash drawer' check box for each tender type you...
Change text in textbox in chart in Excel 2007
After I changed from Excell 2003 to Excel 2007, the following VBA code, which changed the date in a textbox in a chart, no longer worked: Sheets("All Styles").Select ActiveChart.Shapes("Text Box 1026").Select Selection.Characters.Text = Range("Date").Value The macro recorder doesn't record anything when I try to use it to get some code. Any ideas for fixing this? Excel 2007 Shape Text Sub Textbox() Dim d As Date With Sheets("Summary") d = .Range("DDate") With .ChartObjects(1).Chart.Shapes(1).TextEffect ...
Reducing the number of lines of code required
I'm trying to create a form for work and I have the following lines o code created within it... I have another 20 checkboxes which wil require similar lines of code. Is there any way to cut down on th total number of lines required (as it will end up being a ridiculou size otherwise)?

Vlookup and offset
Hi, I would like to lookup a users ID in a table and check if they have a paticular qualification, a normal VLOOKUP will do that but then I would like to refer to a date in the header to see when they gained the qualification so the cell can determine whether they are qualified based on the current date. I could do this without checking the date but that would disguise the lack of skills for the rest of the past records as soon as the skill was recorded. I think I need to combine an IF, VLOOKUP and an OFFSET but am at a loss as to how to put it all together. Hope someone can help. ...
Outlook 2003 - Pictures received as text
I just changed over to Outlook 2003 from Windows Mail. Now when certain people send me pictures inline, they come to me as pages and pages text, like this: Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=snow Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: snow 2-23-10 1.jpg Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="snow 2-23-10 1.jpg" /9j/4Sr2RXhpZgAASUkqAAgAAAAKAA8BAgAWAAAAhgAAABABAgAmAAAAnAAAABIBAwABAAAAAQAA ABoBBQABAAAAwgAAABsBBQABAAAAygAAACgBAwABAAAAAgAAADEBAgAQAAAA0gAAADIBAgAUAAAA 4gAAABMCAwABAAAAAQAAAGmHBAABAAAA9gAAAB4HAABFQVNUTUFOIEtPREFLIENPTVBBTlkAS09E QUsgRUFTWVNIQ...
Memory failure : Getting Sum to work
I added the number 200 3 times (vertical) . Got the correct answer but i can't seem to get the answer to appear in the total cell. Just the formula shows up . What am i doing wrong ? Format the cell with the formula as General (or number--just not text). Then with that cell selected, hit F2 followed by enter. Drew Cutter wrote: > > I added the number 200 3 times (vertical) .

Page Number
Hi, In Excel 2000, is there a formula to make a cell contain page number and total number of pages? We want to have a heading with our logotype and other information and as Excel 2000 can not include pictures in heading we want it on top of every sheet. I can make Excel print rows on top, but can I include page number and total number of pages in the sheet? Thanks in advance Leif I'd use an actual header (or footer). File|Page Setup|Header/Footer Tab Click on Custom header (or footer) You see a couple of icons that look like a sheet of paper. the icon with # in it is Page#. The ...
Working with DOM in VC++
Hello, I think I have a problem that can't be solved this way. But I'll try anyways. I am working with SVG and JavaScript and I have created a VC++ dialog that uses CWebBrowser. CWebBrowser's function is calling web pages that use JavaScript and SVG. My JavaScript is using DOM to alter SVG content but it is only done on DOM level and whatever change the user is making doesn't affect the actual file contents. What I need to do is to change the contents of a web file itself. For example. If I my original SVG code is: <text id="some_id"> Original ...
Landscape pages, Page Numbers, and running headers
In order to display page numbers for landscape pages, I use a frame in the header, stretching down the side (which will be the top) of the page. This works fine except sometimes--it removes the header from the next section. That is, I have portrait pages with their odd/even headers--Section Break--landscape page with odd/even frame headers--Section Break--no header on portrait page! The footer is there, but I simply cannot access the header. WHY, WHY? And when I kludge the page numbers into the portrait page header area, with yet another frame, it shows up on the landscape pages...
