My =TEXT won't work. It doesn't show months or years. I have downloaded the example template from the support page of Microsoft but I can't make it work. It does show days, which is weird. It doesn't matter which file or sheet I try, same result.
I have tried to change the number formats and reinstalled Excel, without progress. I don't know what is wrong.
See the second comment in the answer to this question:
Formating a date in excel when combining text from multiple cells
I'm not sure about months, but try ÅÅÅÅ instead of YYYY. You can try hitting ctrl+1, selecting "Custom" from "Category" in the "Number" tab. Scroll down until you get to starter codes for date formatting. That may show you what code is needed for TEXT.
You say you are using the English version, but your screenshot is showing torsdag instead of Saturday.

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 need to implement the AutoComplete functionality to the textBoxes.
I know similar questions have been asked before, but they're all using a list of the optional items that matches the starting character.
But I want something similar to what in Excel sheet.
For example:
If you typed in a cell word (Medicine)
If you wrote in a different cell in same column, "M" letter it shows an autocomplete word (Medicine) but the "edicine" is highlighted/Selected till you press enter, it accepts it.
I don't want the list thing because it rude my xaml because it has a lot of textBoxes in in Grid with multiple rows and columns.
Any help please?
I found the solutions days ago. From telerik there is a control RadAutoCompleteBox does exactly what I need.
Every time I right click within an Excel cell, whether there is something on the clipboard or not, I always get too many "Values" under paste options. Is there any way to remove these, as it can get annoying scrolling down.
I've been searching online since last year trying to resolve this and finally thought I would ask and see if someone has resolved this before.
See screenshot, below:
I have previously known an excel short-cut command that popped up an window where one could select a layout for a range of cells in the worksheet. There were many selections and several of them were quite beautiful. The layout would change the background color of the heading (first row selected), and format the first column and the cells in the body respectively.
I'm not talking about making tables or the table formatter, also it was only accessible through the shortcut command as far as I know (which I've now forgotten). Does anyone recall what I mean and could that person please share? I've been trying to remember it for some time now.
I believe what you first need to do is enable Excel to recognise your table. Take a look at my screenshot above!
By using Alt + O + A one will get up the AutoFormat window.
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.
