I have a text string which reflects thousand separators as a dot but also the decimal.
I want to convert this to a number but retain the decimal.
1.056.865.39 should be 1056865.39
6.685.3 should be 6685.3
I've tried substitute and replace but I can't work out how to retain the last decimal.
Any ideas how to do this in excel?
Try:
=SUBSTITUTE(TEXTBEFORE(A1,".",-1),".",)+TEXTAFTER(A1,".",-1)/100
Old Excel versions:
=NUMBERVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(D13,".",",",LEN(D13)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D13,".",))),",",".")
Excel 2013:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")/10^(1+(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,3))="."))

I need to display with no decimal, but retaining the numbers that
appear after the last decimal. For example, given `03.1037.190
I tried roundup and trunct but not sure how it works.
Try this on a string where . could be on a dynamic spot
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")))
Or when your string always follows the same pattern ##.####.####.## you could try:
=REPLACE(A1,13,1,"")
The question is quite unclear as you have a value with the same thousand and decimal delimiter and also 4 numbers between the delimiters. It would help a lot if you specified the actual number without thousand delimiters.
Assuming there are no decimals (31.037.190.301): remove "." using:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")
and Excel will recognize it as a number
I'm using Excels find and replace to remove hyphens from long numbers. They are mixed between birth dates and organisation numbers that have been filled with leading zeros to have the same number of characters. There are a LOT of numbers so find and replace seems to be the simplest solution to remove the hyphens.
But when i use find and replace the leading zeros are truncated and I have not found a solution to keep them afterwards.
For example i have:
19551230-1234
01234567-8901
and after find and replace I have
1,95512E+11
12345678901
but want the format as:
195512301234
012345678901
So I want to keep the leading zeros after find and replace. I've tried formatting the cells as text, but it doesn't work as the find and replace automatically truncates the leading zero and keeps the remaining characters, so the zero is completely removed. I am using Excel 2010, but answers for several versions are appreciated.
Just put a single quote in front of your leading number - ex. '01234 It will take the number as-is literally and the quote will not show in the field.
Use the SUBSTITUTE formula instead of Find and Replace like so:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"/",""),")",""),"(",""),"-","")
The result is text.
I looking for a number format that is locale-independent.
Let's say that I want that my Excel file use an a character as a thousand separator and a b character as a decimal separator on every computer (so this question is not about local Excel settings). The second wish is that the number has always two decimal places.
Can I do this only with a number format without VB code?
After some attempts, I came to this format: ###\a###\a##0\b.00.
1234567.89 > 1a234a567b.89
The problems are:
I must repeat ###\a section and I can not get rid of dot decimal separator (the decimal places are not taken into account without the dot character).
Can I do this only with a number format without VB code?
No.
Even if you can get your separator characters inserted, you will not be able to remove the decimal separator.
The decimal separator is displayed in the cell whenever it is included in custom number display format settings.
I get following number in Excel and I have to convert it to a real number. How can I do that?
I get
+24.21E+00 or +2.8954E+03
I need
24,21 or 2895,4
Thank you very much!
SOLUTION in German (Change point seperator to comma and to decimal number)
=WERT(ERSETZEN(O73;FINDEN(".";O73);1;","))
If a value is in A1 then use: =NUMBERVALUE(A1)
Note: If your locale uses , for the decimal point but the string you have uses . then do =NUMBERVALUE(A1;".")
For Excel 2010:
=VALUE(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(A1;".";",")))
Use the Format Cells Dialog:
From the Menu Bar.
I need to upload a CSV file, but my text data 080108 keeps converting to a number 80108. What do I do?
Use Quoted CSV
Use quotes in your CSV so that the column is treated as a string instead of an integer. For example:
"Foo","080108","Bar"
I have seen this often when viewing the CSV using Microsoft Excel. Excel will truncate leading zeros in all number fields. if the output is not coming from excel then check the output in note pad. If it is coming from excel you need to add a single quote mark ' to the beginning of each zip code. then excel will retain the leading 0.
