Find and replace 03-04-10
I'm trying to scan a field in one of my tables and find a specific character and remove it. However, the character is a " so I'm having difficulty. The field I speak of of contains the sizes of our material so the values look like this: 1/4" 1/2" 1/3" and so on. How can I find all of the " in my feild and remove them? I don't want to replace them I just want to remove them. Thanks, Chris Savedge Create a query, and in the Criteria row under the problem field, enter: Like "*[""]*" -- Allen Browne - ...

eliminate spaces after a text field
Hello, I am designing in query and there are spaces after text field. How do I delete the spaces after? Thanks Try something like: NewField: Trim([YourField]) To remove trailing spaces only (not leading spaces): NewField: RTrim([YourField]) Spaces in the middle of the field will not be affected. Use your actual field name in place of YourField. Use whatever you like in place of NewField.

Find and Replace error
Hi. I have a worksheet where I want to show only some of the formulas used in it. That is why, instead of using the option "Show formulas" from the formulas Tab, I insert a ' before the = in the cells I want to see the formula. But when I want to show results once again, in order no to look for each formula in which I added the ', I use the Find and Replace Option. In Find I specify '= and leave in blank the Replace option. But Excel shows me the following message: "Excel cannot find the data you are searching for". Cannot figure out the co...

Chart won't show zero percent
I am doing a pie chart using a quick style design that shows the lines in between the different percentages. Some of the charts show a percentage with the lines when the value is zero and two of my charts erase all but one of the lines when a zero is placed in one of the cells. What's up with that? and How do I correct it? Since with zero value the lines of the pie would be on top of each other, I am not sure what one would expect to see! best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "PURVIANCE" <PURVIANCE...

Large Line-Spacing on Replies
When I reply to certain other Outlook user's messages, the spacing between each line of my reply is enormous. How can I easily reset it to normal line spacing? Thanks, Bryan Easily? That depends on your definition of easily. The only way I know of is to tweak the text formatting (line spacing, spacing before/after, etc.) as you would with any other Word document.

Looking for some advice -- replacing IE with custom app
<Background> Our company has been selling a product which relies heavily on the use of Internet Explorer (IE). But, with the many security issues of the last few years, IE is becoming more difficult to work with. We are contemplating replacing our dependency on IE with a new custom application that we would write. All our current code is written in MSVC/MFC, so this new app would also. As we are planning on writing a custom app to replace IE, we are also looking at adding new custom user interface features that were almost impossible in the old version of html pages being disp...

Macro to hide rows with zero in specifc column range
Hello I have a workbook with multiple sheets. I would like to put together a macro that will hide the rows in a given range on all sheets. For example, on Sheet 1 the range of cells I need to evaluate for zero are C9:63. If any of the cells in the range are zero, I want to hide the corresponding row. So if C11 is zero, row 11 is hidden.

Lead source best practices
Hello, Before getting into my question, I know that there are lots of ways to do the things I'm asking about. I am just curious what some people consider as best practices. Hopefully it will lead to a useful conversation for many of the people on this group. I am curious what best practices people use for lead sources. Take something like 'Partner' for example. Do people generally use just 'Partner' and store the partner name somewhere else, or do you build your lead source list up to include the specific names of the partners you're doing business with?

Replace zero values with blank
Hi, I have an excel file with demand data per month. It looks something like below but has got 20 000 rows instead of one. 1 0 3 12 3 4 0 10 12 10 11 0 The calculations I need to do on each row are: frequency, median and minimum value. However the calculation needs to be done without zero values. The zero values needs to be replaced by blanks. I have tried CTRL + H to replace the zero values. But it gives me the problem that the zero in 20, 10 etc. gets replaced by blank too. Does any Excel master know how to change all zeros to blanks in a data range? Looking forward on an answer. /Dan...

line spacing in an imported word document
I imported an MS Word (2002) document into Publisher 2002. The Word formating is lost regarding line spacing. Parapraphs with soft line spacing, i.e. not using enter to move to the next line, retains the line spacing. But whenver a line is spaced using enter, or when a blank line is inserted between paragraphs, the space is twice as large as in the original word document. This happens without changing the format in Publisher. For my publication, these spaces are too large. For example, I have a series of short lines center justified. They need to be in regular paragraph spacing, but bec...

Word 2003 view doesn't show space at document top and bottom
I have Word 2003 and Windows 7. All at once, when I open a new document (Ctrl+n) or sometimes an old existing one, the view, which is in Print Layout, gets rid of the space at the top and the bottom of the page. I have to "work around" and click View<Header and Footer<Close. Then it is ok as long as I have the document open. But when I save and close the document and open it again, the same thing happens - the space is gone from the top and bottom. I don't know the correct terminology to describe this, but I hope you can understand. How does this happen,...
