I'm pretty baffled by this, I've never had any issues with a simple find&replace before. I'm just trying to replace FindValue with ReplaceValue, but it's not found. Is it because it's trying to search in "Formulas"? I don't see any other option in the drop down though.
Could be the format options you have used.
It should be "No Format Set" instead of "Preview*". You can achieve this by click on the button "Format..." -> "Clear Find Format"
With the format option activated, you also defined that the cell you search for has the text value "FindValue" and some cell attributes (date format or currency format etc.)

Can you guys please let me know how do I get the symbols in excel shown in the image below. I checked the cells but its simple B1-A1 formula but not sure how to get symbols there. Also, how do I get symbol if there is no change (<>) in same format as in image?
From the Home ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > Icon sets. In the arrows are the second item in the first category (Directional). Once selected, if you go back into Conditional Formatting and select to edit the rule, you will have options where you can set at what point it is to display each icon (up arrow, down arrow, or yellow bar, which you could use to indicate no (or insufficient) change.
While it doesn't look exactly like your image in color, the icon is the same. Consider an extra conditional format that matches the color of your text, if desired.
I have a mac - sigh. I am using excel on the mac.
All date fields have the type of "date", with a format of month/day/year (eg 3/14/2019)
If I enter the value as 10/13/2019, then all is well.
If I enter the value as 10/12/2019, then excel will store it as 10/12/2019, but display it as 12/10/2019
What I mean is that looking at the cells, you'll see 12/10/2019. However, if you click on the cell, then in the little text field at the top, the cell contents are displayed as "10/12/2019".
This is going to confuse the hell out of my american co-workers - it is already confusing me.
I can solve this by putting a ' in front of the 10/12/2019 date... but I'm not sure why Excel is doing its best to make such a mess of this. Is there some way to tell it to stop "auto correcting" things?
I want to create cells which instruct the user on what need to be filled in that cell in the background and when you click to enter a something, this text vanishes. You normally see this you order something online. For example: Question: Date of Birth, answer field: DD/MM/YYYY in grey text. When you click on DD/MM/YYYY it dissappears and you can answer.
I would like to do this without using VBA, since I have no experience using VBA. Is this possible?
I thought about using conditional formatting, but I think the text won't disappear when clicked only when someone types something in.
Anyone has any idea how I can achieve this?
Thanks a lot
So you can enter placeholder text like cell value and colour it grey.
Then you can use Conditional Formatting to turn it black if new text is different than placeholder.
This would be the result:
However if you wan to make sure that your input is correct I suggest using Data Validation.
How to format excel cell with comma separated. For example, we say like 1427322 and it show like 1,427,322
Any suggestion how we can achieve this?
Try this... This worked for me..
Go to Control Panel -> Region (Region & Language) -> In Formats Set format to English(India).
Then apply this custom number format to the specific cell in excel
Apply a custom number format Select the cell or range of cells that you want to format. On the Home tab, under Number, on the Number Format pop-up menu , click Custom. In the Format Cells dialog box, under Category, click Custom. At the bottom of the Type list, select the built-in format that you just created. Click OK.

I'm using Excel 2013 64-bit with PowerPivot, and am having a couple of issues with KPIs (and I'm not alone).
I'm adding a KPI:
As you can see, I've chosen a non-default icon set. Here's what you then see initially:
OK, I know the solution to this (and am sharing it here just in case it helps anyone else) - just untick the Status column, then re-tick it to redisplay it. This seems to solve the problem (which didn't happen in PowerPivot for Excel 2010).
However, I then get this:
Definitely not the icons I asked for. It seems that whatever icon set you choose, you always get the default ones. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I'm experiencing the same problem. Seems to be a bug.
Steps for workaround:
Format a cell correctly on a separate worksheet using conditional formatting, select the cell.
Double click Format Painter under "Home Tab"
Format one of the status cells in the column.
Go to Conditional Formatting -> Manage rules -> Edit rule and choose: All cells showing "Your column Status" values.
