I am creating an excel object from a vb.net listview table simply by creating an array of F(x,y), creating a range and putting the values from the array in the range as follows.
shXL.Range(Startcell,AEndCell).Value = F
However some of the fields are numeric and I want them to be formatted to two decimal places and EXCEL to recognize them as decimals
What I end up with in the excel worksheet is many green triangles telling me they are text fields.
How do I convert a range withing the sheet say A5,I20 to be formated as decimals.
I tried: (x,y).numberformat = "00.00" which works to format to 2dp but still treats the cells as text.
Furthermore, is it possible to Excel Sum a range? How is the possible?
Your help is appreciated!
shXL.Range(Startcell,AEndCell).Value = F
'// Loop over same range and convert to decimal
For Each cell In shXl.Range(Startcell,AEndCell)
With cell
.Value = CDec(.Value)
End With
Next

I don't think Excel would have got very far as a spreadsheet product if it couldn't sum a range!
Assuming you want to do this in vb.net you need to use the instance of the application. I'll assume in your code it's XL
mySumValue = XL.WorksheetFunction.Sum(shXL.Range(Startcell,AEndCell))

In Column M of a sheet called 'FF' , I have a series of values that can be 16+ numerical digits (numbers in the trillions). As a result, excel is losing precision and not properly displaying the values.
I have realized that if I manually put a single quote in the formula bar, it displays the number properly and saves the CSV properly as well. Is there a way to do this for all of column M if Column M already has numeric values populated?
Conceptually, I was hoping to do something like this where the single quote doesn't actually appear
Sub SingleQuote()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("FF")
.Cells(2, 18).Resize(.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Formula = "=IF(Stage!M2="""","""",='M2"
End With
End Sub
I'm trying to convert an excel array to VBA. Any help would be appreciated:
{=IFERROR((MATCH('Surgery'!D10&'Surgery'!D11,'NCCI'!A1:A263469&'NCCI'!B1:B263469,0)),"")}
The Surgery worksheet is where the user inputs a list of codes and the NCCI worksheet is where the above array searches to find a match. It uses the two codes entered by the user to search in two columns on the NCCI worksheet to try and find where two codes are in the same row and returns the row number.
Unlike some other array formulas, this one does work with Application.Evaluate, it only needs to "double up" the double-quotes inside.
Dim v
v = Application.Evaluate("=IFERROR(MATCH(J2&K2,A1:A4&B1:B4,0), """")")
Debug.Print v
I have a report and in columns L to Y I have the time of hh:mm:ss written as text and as a result I'm unable to do pivot calculations.
Is there an excel vba script that I can use to convert columns L:Y to the time value of hh:mm:ss?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
A bit late, but another similar solution is to copy a blank cell and add it to the range with Paste Special
or better, change the format and copy the values like this:
Set r = Intersect(UsedRange, Range("L:Y")) ' only the used range in columns L to Y
r.NumberFormat = "HH:mm:ss" ' military time format 24:59:59 ?
r.Value2 = r.Value2
Without using VBA, you could perhaps put a formula in columns Z onwards, e.g. Z2's formula could say =TIMEVALUE(L2) etc.
Using VBA, you could use either the CDate or TimeValue functions to convert the string to a date/time.
Ok, here is the case:
I have an Excel file in .xlsx format. One of the cells contains the value 132,6 and it's format is number. This means that Excel shows the number as 132,60. Now because it represents a price (132 euro and 60 cents) I'd like to keep it in this format 132,60.
Now I need to convert all cells to text format for purposes that aren't important in this question. Because the value is actually 132,6, after the conversion this is the text value shown, instead of the 132,60. But I'd like to maintain the trailing zero when converting it to text.
Is there any VBA implementation for this?
this format should work
=TEXT(A2;"#'##0.00")
EDIT: In VBA
Below snippet will convert numbers in selection to text.
Sub aMacro()
Dim SelRange As Range
Set SelRange = Selection
For Each c In SelRange.Cells
c.Value = Format(c.Value, "###0.00")
Next
End Sub
I am trying to export a matrix from Matlab to export with xlswrite. However, my matrix is a cellarray that has strings such as '001', '00323'. When it is exported into Excel, Excel automatically converts them back to numbers and drops the first 2 zeros into '1', and '323'.
Does anyone know how to force excel to accept them as Text as them are being written from Matlab to xlsx?
Thank you!

Excel probably likes to do this because it is exactly what Excel would do if you typed those values in.
One way to fix this is to put '"=001"' in the cell array rather than '001' like the following code. Note that Excel treats the values properly in the resulting file:
myCell= {1, '0001', '="0001"'};
xlswrite('test.xlsx', myCell)
You could write a little function that surrounds all the strings in a cell array with quotes, if needed:
function aCell = fixForExcel(aCell)
for ind = 1:numel(aCell)
myVal = aCell{ind};
if isstr(myVal)
aCell{ind} = sprintf('="%s"', myVal)
end
end
end
I run into this issue with SSNs. I don't know how much control you have with creating the spreadsheet with xlswrite.
You can set the format to Text, and this preserves the leading zeroes.
The problem will remain that when you open the spreadsheet, all leading zeroes will be eliminated. You can create a custom format that specifies that the format for the cell has two leading zeroes. You can use "\0\0#" as your custom expression. The text format will be saved after the first time.
If you have a variable number of 0s, the only way to get around it is to copy the data into excel.
