Excel DB alike?
Hi! An amateur question: can someone help me getting a good tutorial or the neccesary information for filling row B automatically depending on the data on row A? For example: If row A says: Dog Carrot Apple Orange Cat Horse I would like row B to be automatically filled with: animal vegetable fruit fruit animal animal * Notice that the order on A doesn't follow a pattern Thanks!

You need the Vlookup function for this. Check out the Excel pages at www.nwarwick.co.uk where you will find a link to an easy to follow tutorial that you can adapt to your own situation.

neil7418Hi if you have a table somewhere in your workbook that lists the options and what they relate to, then in your column B you can use the VLOOKUP function to create the table (say on sheet 2) type ..........A..............B 1.....Object.....Classification 2.....Dog.........Animal 3.....Cat..........Animal 4.....Horse......Animal 5......Carrot....Vegetable etc then on sheet 1, in cell B2 use the following formula =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$5,2,0) which says, find the value entered in A2 in the first column of the table in sheet 2 and return the associated information from the 2nd column where there is an exact match. If there is no match or nothing in A2 the formula will return a #NA error - to deal with this =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$5,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$5,2,0)) this formula can then be copied down for all rows in column B -- Cheers JulieD check out www.hcts.net.au/tipsandtricks.htm ....well i'm working on it anyway "SEOJAPAN" <seo.sem.japan@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1113216422.413873.176520@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Hi! > > An amateur question: can someone help me getting a good tutorial or the > neccesary information for filling row B automatically depending on the > data on row A? > For example: > If row A says: > Dog > Carrot > Apple > Orange > Cat > Horse > > I would like row B to be automatically filled with: > animal > vegetable > fruit > fruit > animal > animal > > * Notice that the order on A doesn't follow a pattern > > Thanks! > SSJ >

Suppressing zeros after the decimal point
How can I force zeros to display following a decimal point in Excel 2002? Whenever I type a number, such as 3.200, Excel drops the zeros and only enters 3.2 into the cell. Is there a setting that can be changed to fix this? (Using the "0.00" custom format seems to help, but if I have another number, such as 4.70, which only needs one zero to display, then I need another custom format for that one, and the next one, etc.) If anyone has a simpler suggestion, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Hi AFAIK you can't achieve this with a custom format. Either you have three decimals or...

excel charts look drastically different on different computers
When we open excel charts on different computers in our office the formatting looks drastically different (for example, data labels and arrows on charts are in different locations). This is a huge problem because it means that the formatting has to be fixed each time someone opens an excel chart. This was never a problem until recently when some of our staff got new computers and for a short time they were using Office 2007 (everyone else in the office was using Office 2003).

Font size changes in Excel 2003 charts when re-opened
