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. Re-format AND re-enter the formula (F2, ENTER) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Prof Wonmug" <wonmug@e.mcc> wrote in message news:oocda5190k07pe7gj0as8a4u3luevrhkuo@4ax.com... >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.

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.

It appears that the formatting doesn't matter as long as it's not Text. Just the F2 + Enter got it to work. 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.

Conditional formatting not quite working right

rule not working correctly
Hello, I have setup a few rules and some of them I have setup to Move the message to the following folder, yet it copies it to that folder. Is this a known bug? anyone know whats going on? The conditions are: on this machine only; through the specified account; then move to the specified folder. TIA Make sure you sort the rules correctly and add the "stop processing rules" action. This will prevent duplication when more than one rule applies. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -What do the Outlook Icons Mean? -Create an Office ...
compare numbers and mark duplicates
Hello all, I have a row of 9 cells, which I want to fill with the numbers 1 to 9. Each time I put a number in a cell I want excel to compare all 9 cells in the row. If I type in a number that is already in one of the other 8 cells I want it to light up in red. I tried using "conditional formatting" but I can only compare 2 cells at a time. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance, Lucas try the countif function in your conditional formating "Lucas" wrote: > Hello all, > > I have a row of 9 cells, which I want to fill with the numbers 1 to 9. Each >...

Paste Special as Text
I have a small program that drops text from a Word table into Excel using Paste Special as Text. Although Paste Special as Text should insert the contents of the clipboard as text without any formatting this does not appear to be happening as it did with Excel 2000 . Excel 2003 splits the data when it meets a New Line or Carriage Return and drops anything after it down to row below. Any ideas what is causing this behaviour Thanks for your assistance Phil ...

x-axis text wraping
I'm working with data in a column chart that expands over 36 periods.=20 Rather than have the x-axis list 1 thru 36 I want x-axis to display = text.=20 I already know how to get the text there and to adjust the x-axis=20 orientation, etc. However, the graph automatically wraps the text once=20 it gets so long.=20 I don't want the text to wrap. Is there anyway to have the chart not=20 wrap the text? Besides decreasing the font of the x-axis.
