Conditional formatting no working with downloaded data - excel

I downloaded data from our internal system and tried to apply conditional formatting, but it is not working. I cleared all the rules from the sheet and changed the format to Number, and everything is unsuccessful. However, if I replace the data manually it is working. I have huge numbers of rows and cannot change and edit them manually. Is there a workaround for this? I wanted to attach test data, but I don't find a way to attach to this post.
Thanks in advance!

The numbers are probably coming in as strings, which cannot be formatted. Try saving it as a CSV and then close it and open the CSV.

Characters taken from other sources may have spaces. The Code function results in the numeric code of the characters in the cells-Look for the cells in which the spaces are spaces with the code number 32. It is often the case that there is a space between the code number 160.
Use function =trim(Cell or Range) or check if You have this white marks" hard space" 160 or 32 in cells you downloaded data.
Check =Code(Cell) what nr code You have in cells if any or copy space and insert between quotation marks. =CODE(" ").Invisible space charts may not allow formatting cells with other sources.

How to remove hidden quotes on numbers in excel that prevent changing the format

I have copied several columns of data with ~85 rows from a webpage system that my company uses. One column of numbers copied over with no issues, but the other (and more important) column contains hidden quotes surrounding the numbers. I cannot change format, nor add the numbers, etc.
I have tried using =value(mid(cell,1,len(cell)-1)) to remove the quotes, and have also tried using substitute, with no success.
Does anyone know of another possible solution to try?
Thanks!
Saw the file as csv format. Close it and reopen in csv. It will show all the hidden quotations. Then use text to column and remove the special characters.

Adding additional numerical values into already made column

Major noob here. This is my dilemma:
I created a spreadsheet on excel and input my data in a column. Then I was informed that I need to add two zeros (00) to the front of each value. Is there a way of doing this on excel w/o me double clicking each row and manually adding the 00's before the original value?
in order to add two leading zeros to numbers of unknown length, the only viable option I can think of is to turn the number into a string.
="00"&A1
There may be a way with the format text function to measure the length of your number then format with two leading zeros but that is currently beyond me.
The other option is to go into the custom cell format and change the display to
000000
Where the number of 0s is two longer than the number of digits in your number. If your numbers are inconsistent in length you would need to do this for each cell. It would keep the number as a number though.
Thanks for your replies. #Forward Ed your idea gave me a diff idea. I just added the 00's to the column before and then used another column + the CONCATENATE function.
Also for fellow cavemen like myself, you can use notepad to do it the ghetto way and copy then re-paste back to excel -.-
Im such an idiot lol. Thank you

Vlookup not working for specific text

I am working on two sheets of text, Lets say "apples" in sheet1 and i want to find the cells which contains "apples" in sheet2. Below function works for few columns and its not working for few columns even though the text is in both places..
=VLOOKUP("*"&apples&"*",Sheet2!H4:H499,1,FALSE)
I think, its because of the text format in sheet2. I removed unwanted chars using "clean" & "trim" function. but still having issue...
Have anyone faced this issue before...?
Update - This looks more of text format issue. I copied to notepad and found no unreadable chars or new lines...
Instead of
=VLOOKUP("*"&apples&"*",Sheet2!H4:H499,1,FALSE)
please consider using
=VLOOKUP("*apples*",Sheet2!H:H,1,FALSE)
Update - changed to deal with asterisk that I didn't see the first time I tried to answer this.
You need to fix your cells, i.e. change Sheet2!H4:H499 to Sheet2!$H$4:$H$499!
Without doing this, the range you're running the lookup in will move downwards when copying the formula - which is certainly not what you want! :-)
I had some issues with this recently.
I wanted to document that I tried:
look for trailing spaces
numbers formatted as text
ensured arrays were reference locked correctly (e.g. put a $ in front of the part of reference that shouldn't change)
When it still didn't work I copied both values into Notepad++ and changed encoding from UTF-8 to Ansi. What I found was there was a strange hidden character in one of the texts. It was like one of the values had been pasted from word and the space as a "special space" or something. You can get this when a dash is not really a dash but an endash etc.
To fix I pasted my range into Notepad++, changed encoding, search/replace all strange characters with nothing then pasted back into Excel. Then it worked just fine.

How to remove a single Leading space in the numeric column in Excel 2013

I really tried a LOT with in-built functions and also with google search but none of the ways doesn't worked out for expected result.
My exact problem is:
I've few numeric columns which i got from a website and copied directly into excel.
In those columns there is a SINGLE Leading space at the beginning of each number in the cell of the entire column. Example 523946.00. In this number there is a single space before the digit 5.
I tried a lot with TRIM and SUBSTITUTE in-built functions but nothing able to resolve my problem of removing spaces.
And also my expectation is when i select two or multiple cells in the same column(spaces removed) then automatically Excel should show or display the AVERAGE: <Average value> SUM: <total Sum> COUNT: <count value> at the below status bar or bottom ribbon.
Say, AVERAGE: 175.49 COUNT: 2 SUM: 350.98
This type of information is not showing at the bottom. Only i'm able to see COUNT: 2 alone....why?
I want in General Format only. No any special formats.
I'm using MS Excel 2013
Edit:
You can actually just use find and replace.
Copy one of the trouble cells.
Select all the cells containing non break space, and select find and replace.
Paste the copied cell into the find bar, delete everything but the last character (asuming that is the non breaking space).
Leave the replace bar empty and press replace all.
This removes all non breaking spaces. :)
**Old Solution:**You can add nothing with paste special to the whole column where the spaces occur.
First copy an completely empty cell. (! remember this step)
Then select all cells in the column and right click and select paste special.
Then select "add" almost at the bottom (see picture) and press ok.
This will make excel reevaluate the values as if you had modified in and entered the value manually. Excel then correctly converts them to numbers. :)
First make sure you have the column Formatted as you would like. Make sure it is a number with 2 decimal places (or how ever many you need), then also make sure that there is no Indents (Maybe you think the Indent is a space?) And that you have it Aligned to the Left, Or where you want the Data To be. This alone should take care of your issue.
If that doesn't work here a list of possible solutions.
=Value(Trim(A1)) ' Removes all white space before and after the text in A1
=Value(Clean(A1)) 'Removes all non printable Charactersin A1
=Value(SUBSTITUTE(I3," ","")) 'Substitutes(Replaces) all instances of " "(Space) with ""(nothing)
'****Note: With Substitute you can also specify how many
' Substitutes(Replaces) to make of the value
=Value(SUBSTITUTE(I3," ","",1)) ' Same as above but with only remove the FIRST space
=Value(Trim(Clean(A1))) ' Removes all white space before and after the text
' after removing all Non-Printable Characters
=Value(Trim(Clean(Substitute(A1," ","")))) ' Removes all white space before and after the
'after removing all Non-Printable Characters
' And after replaceing all spaces with nothing
=Value(Right(A1, Len(A1)-1)) ' This takes the End of your text by the number of characters
' in the value Except the First (In your case should be the Space)
=Value(SUBSTITUTE(I6,CHAR(160),"")) 'To help with the non breaking spaces also.
If nothing works could you please share Why you would like to remove the space? As in what you are trying to do with the data? As maybe that will open more solutions
With Ole Henrik Skogstrøm's Suggestion added Value around the functions to get the result as a value.
It may be Excel is treating your cells as text data. Is the fun Green Triangle present?
This is a common problem in excel. Forcing numeric is easier than text. Just format a column as number or General and then put in the function value() into the cells.
Things can be cleaned up from there with Copy/Paste Special values and then remove the original column.
Using Excel 2007
brettdj answered this for me. This is what worked for me and it was SIMPLE!!
To remove the CHAR(160) directly without a workaround formula go to
Find & Replace
in the Find What hold ALT and type 0160 using the numeric keypad
then Leave Replace With as blank and select Replace All
In your case, since you always have a string of numbers, where you want to remove just the first character (a space), this formula should work:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)
The numbers can vary in length, important is only, that you want to remove just 1, (or 2, or 3 etc) characters. It will still work. {If you had 2 empty spaces in front, then you would use in the formula -2, if three -3, etc)
However, if you had always a different amount of blanks in your string of numbers, like I had, you could use this formula, which worked for me:
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1),CHAR(160),""))
,assuming that the issue you are facing is code "160".
That you can find by typing: =code(A1), which in my case gave me the result "160". Therefore char(160) in the formula above.

In Microsoft Excel how are single quotes applied to the sheet name in a formula?

Whilst working with Microsoft Excel, I created a very big formula which has many symbols, and its total string length is about 8047 in Excel 2007. When I researched I saw that the maximum number of characters allowed for a formula is 8129.
I extracted the Excel file and I could see that the Microsoft Excel is applying single quotes ('') before the sheet name, and it varies: for some sheet names there are single quotes but for others, there are no quotes.
Can anyone explain why this is?
I have given below the formula that was represented in the Excel spreadsheet.

I think the formula limit applies to the R1C1 version of the formula, which is usually longer than the A1 version you are showing, so you are probably over the limit anyway.
Sheet names are surrounded by single quotes when they contain a space (and possibly other strange characters).
But anyway my advice would be to break this monster formula up into a large number of smaller ones in separate cells. Megaformulae like this are very hard to understand, test and debug.

As Charles Williams suggests it is the space in the Sheet name.
If you explained what you are trying to do in this formula, it most likely could be simplified.
