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

exporting a report in textI have data in one table for which I have created formatted reports - 1 by
program number and 1 by last name. I have the reports the way I want them to
look. I need to have them in text-delimited format. The reason for this is
that I need to be able to upload them into a DREAMWEAVER table. If they are
in the text-delimited format I can upload all the reports fairly easily.
Otherwise, I have to export them to WORD as a table, and then laboriously
upload them to Dreamweaver column by column as DW will not accept the whole
report. (It is doable, but not too convenient.

Go into the Tools Menu. Look for AutoCorrect. In the bottom half of the
AutoCorrect Tab, look at the list for Replace text as you type. Delete the
entry for (c).

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...
Just installed new hard driveI just installed a new hard drive and used the drive's
utility program to copy everything from my old drive to
the new one.
Now Outlook isn't going out to my ISP's server and

the "no transport provider available" error. (My
connection's just fine.)
I looked online for some help. One recommendation was to
delete the Personal Folder and create a new one. I did
that, but then all the messages I had disappeared and it
freaked me out so I didn't want to mess with anything
else.

If anyone knows where I might be able to get this from, I would be very
appreciative!

Printing Multiple Copies #4Hi all - I am using Vista Business and Publisher 2007 from the Office 2007
Small Business package.
No matter what type of publication or template I use I can only print single
copies. Most recently I tried to print 30 copies of a single page flyer and
had to do it a single copy at a time.
If I go to File|Print and set the number of copies to 30, I still get a
single copy only.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

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

Copy Data from One Group of Cells to Another GroupI have five columns of data on two different sheets in the same workbook. One
set of columns is sorted in ascending date order the other in descending date
order. When I enter data into the last row of Sheet 1, I need the data in
that row in columns A, B, C and D to be copied into Sheet 2 columns A, C, D
and E in a newly inserted row 14. Is this possible with the use of a macro? I
can find the last cell in Sheet 1, but then need to go up one row and back to
column A. I am having difficulty with that.

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...

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
the formulas..........then delete column A if you wish.......

'Text' instead of numberI have spent two days manipulating data (about 300,000 cells' worth) I

The final step involves multiplying two numbers.
The POSITIVE numbers imported fine, the NEGATIVE numbers imported as
X.000-
and give me a #VALUE! error when I use any math function with them.
I have tried the Trimall macro.
I am guessing that somehow Excel thinks the '-' is a DASH and not a
negative... How do I change that????

Sorry, Microsoft has not made that possible.
Maybe you could instead customize the ribbon. See
