Can I disable this automatic number advance thing?I'm talking about dragging a cell's contents to a cell below it by using that
little plus sign in the corner, and it automatically advances a number in the
cell (or date in this case) to the next higher one. It can be handy, but can
I turn it off? Thanks.
If you right-click and drag, when you release the mouse button you'll ge
a popup that allows you to choose Copy cells (or Fill Series, etc).
Depending on your version of XL, you may also get a "smart button" that
allows you to modify how the fill is done.

how to add auto complete number in excelHi All,
Please i need your help to do the auto number in excel as following:
if I write for example in Cell 5 and second cell 10 the result will be
automatic in cell A1:E1 as following
5
6
7
8
9
10
and if I write in cell for example 550 and second cell 556 the result will be
550
551
552
553
554
555
556
Automatic would require VBA.
Manually select C5:C10 after the two numbers are entered.

Inventory posting for new year before running year end?Hello,
What happens if we post inventory transactions for new year without
performing year end for 2008?
Thanks,
MS
When you close inventory for 2008, beginning quantities are updated.
If you've posted 2009 transactions, they will be included in the 2008
beginning quantity. There are a handful of inventory reports that use
the Beginning Qty field, such as the Inventory Turns report.
Hope this helps,

You can use the len function to return the # of characters in a cell.
i.e. =if(len(a1)<>6,"You entered the wrong # of characters","You
entered the right # of characters") ----does the following if a1 does
not equal 6, says you entered the wrong # otherwise says you en...

Take a look at Data|Validation.
You can have excel yell at the user when they hit enter after typing in a

Excel's precision for numerical entries is 15 decimal digits.
You can either format the cell as Text before entering the number (including
the dashes) or precede the entry with an apostrophe (which will not show in
the cell)
In both cases, it is not a number for Excel anymore, it is text. Probably,
that is what you require as well

formatting in the last cell, and the rest of them have
#### in the cells. Can someone tell me why this happened
and how to correct it? Thanks!
one reason for #### is that the cell isn't wide enough for the format
specified. Try widening the columns.
