Excel Text FunctionHi anyone who can help me...
I have some info in a spreadsheet as follows:
A1 B1 C1
Centra Dublin Centra Belfast Centra London
If I want to get just Centra out into another cell I would
use =LEFT(A1:C1,6) and this works fine. But I want to
actually get out the area - Dublin, Belfast or London and
some other areas that might have more or less than 7
letters. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance
Ann (Dublin, Ireland)
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Centra",""))
will work if you have city names and centra..

Stagger X-axis textIn 1-2-3 I could stagger the text in the X-axis. In Excel it seems
that I can only rotate the text to 90 degrees.
Is there a way to stagger and leave horizontal?
Specifically, I have all the provinces (or 10 of them) across the axis
and they take up room when spelt out (no abbreviations allowed). I
would rather the first, third, fifth ... etc. be higher and the
second, fourth etc. be lower to allow the chart to be narrower and
still read the text clearly.
Cheers,
Deborah

Go into the Tools Menu. Look for AutoCorrect. In the bottom half of the

Numbers in a text field-can I add them up?Hi everyone! Using A02 on XP.
I have a table of data with survey response fields that contain a 0,1,2,3,4
or 5. However, the fields are formatted as text, not numbers. I need to add
up certain blocks (Items 1-6, Items 7-23, etc.) and then do some averaging.
I cannot change the field types from text. Must I append to a new table or
can I do something right in my query?
I've got one field in my query like this: ES:
[Item1]+[Item2]+[Item3]+[Item4]+[Item5]+[Item6]
My result is: 553453 or 554444, etc. I want: 25 or 22, etc.
I would really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks...
How do I set the number format to Base 12?I would like to change the number format on my spreadsheet from Base 10 to
Base 12, eg. 12 bottles makes up 1 case. Therefore, if I were adding up three
different cells 9 bottles + 11 bottles + 6 bottles, my result should be 2
cases 2 bottles if possible 2.2 in a case column.

Help ! formatting data to textI am creating data in an Excel spreadsheet. I then want to get that data
into a simple text email. I have some problems and questions...
1) how do I get the columns of data to line up evenly when I copy the data
to email text ? Keep in mind I need to be in simple text format, not HTML
or rich text.
Every time I do this, all columns become chaos and are unreadable.
2) Is there a simple way to automate the creation of an email from an excel
file ? this is less important to me.
Thanks in advance

Mounting exchange 2000 public folder store on exchange 2003I have been told that this is not best practice we have gone ahead and done
this we where having a great deal of difficulty getting the public folders to

to change the mail box name in AD but this didn't work.
So in the end we went for a dirty fix (users had lost access to public
folders for one day already) and dismounted then copied the exchange 2000

Sequential NumberingI would like to know the formula for making a cell be able to do sequential
numbering such as for purchase orders.
Tom,
A simple way would be to use something like this, you could assign it to a
button, an open or before print event.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1
For other ways to do this or if this is going to be used in a temple have a

Automatic Number SequenceI would like to make a form in excel that automatically generates a number of
the form in one of the cells. How can I go about doing this, that everytime I
print a sheet it automatically generates a new number in the sequence? I have
tried playing around with macros and it doesn't seem to change, only stay at
a specific number. Is there an easier formula that this can be done with or
do I have to use macro's and how do I do it with macro's if that's what's
required?? It's a product information form for new products that need
entering into the system.

Text in column causing SUMPRODUCT errorGreegings. I have a SUMPRODUCT formula that is having errors when one of the
columns has text instead of a NULL or a number. If I delete the text cells
in that column it works as desired. I'll give a simple example. Suppose I
have the following in A1:B6....
a 1
a 2
a abc
b 1
b 1
a 2
And I need this...
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$6="a")*($B$1:$B$6))
It errors out until I delete the "abc" in cell B3, then it works as desired.
I tried to replace the "abc" with a 0 by trying this...
=IF(ISNUMBER(B3)=FALSE,0,B3)
And it works for that pa...

This is followed by an * and then the weight of the item (0.13.2 in this
example which is 13.2 ounces)

Save your data and use a copy for this exercize...........
Assuming your data in Column A, put this in B1 and copy down........
=IF(A1=1,"Yes","No")
Then highlight the column and do Copy > PasteSpecial > Values to get rid of

Which Function...will allow me to calculate a value on a form depending on the
information in two other fields?
For instance:
If ad_Advertiser can have 3 values Private party, Commercial or
National and each has a different rate and the cost of an ad is
dependent on the number of words in the ad, i would expect to write
something like this:
CCUR(IIF([ad_Advertiser]=Private party, 3.50+(([wordcount]-10)*.35);
IIF([ad_Advertiser]=Commercial, 4.50+(([wordcount]-10)*.45);
IIF([ad_Advertiser]=National, 6.50+(([wordcount]-10)*.65)
I know that the IIF function is not correct but not sure what to use
in its place...

How do I convert csv to columns?Can someone tell me (using Excel 2330) how I make a csv file which has semi

thanks
After you open this file all of your data should be in column A, select
this column and Data, Text to Columns, Delimited, by semicolon should
give you the result you seek.

This worked great, with exception of minor formatting changes, until a month ago. Power points that I previously opened on that PC, along with new ones, would not open - this is disasterous for instruction.
