Hello everyone i have this problem in excel 2010. It's a problem of cell format. The cell has DATE/HOUR as title that means this is the info in the cell: 02/09/14 12:12:11 and i want to format it to show only hours.Can this happen? I have tried the usual cell formating hours:min but it does take effect to the rest 5.000 cells
What i have to do is this enter to a cell and press enter.
It is impossible to continue like this for the rest 5.000 lines.
Any ideas??
I had flag to close your question because it is off-topic for StackOverflow, which is a site for programming-related questions, but:
Left-click the column header for the column you want to change. This will select every single cell for that column only.
Next Right-click the column header
Choose "Format Cells" from the menu that appears
In the Number tab, underneath Category, choose "Custom"
In the edit control underneath "Type", enter "hh"
In the future, please keep in mind that

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 can usually find an answer to the problems I'm having via a quick google search, but this one I'm struggling to even form the question in order to locate an answer.
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to use Excel Tooltips to display cell data. For example, on mouse over: a tooltip appears displaying the cell values from selected cells, preferably with some plain text but not essential.
i.e. I have an overview table which simplifies data from another table but want said cell values to appear on mouse over.
I'm working on a forecasting spreadsheet and I'd like it to make it as easy as possible for my forecasters to edit the forecast. I'm hoping to develop some custom VB that will allow the user to highlight a group of cells (in one particular row) and then right-click to display a menu that includes various methods of adjusting the highlighted cells:
increase by 10%
add 2 to each highlighted cell
spread an inputted value evenly to highlighted cells
and others
Questions:
How do I override Excel's right click functionality so that when my forecasters right click, they get the forecast adjuster menu form instead of Excel standard formatting menu.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a cell adjuster similar to what I am describing.
Thanks for you assistance.
I use this to edit my right click menu:

My end goal is for "Find and Replace" to take an extra parameter and to show me a custom column in the "Results" table when I click "Find All".
When I search a spreadsheet for "value" and click "Find All", the dialog shows me the Book, Sheet, Name, Cell, Value, Formula for every cell that has "value" in it. But I want it to show me the contents of another cell in that row as well. I would like that cell to be from a column I specify when I enter the seach parameters.
I'm relatively new to programming, and am sure that I can figure out something with Python or AutoHotKey. But I would be surprised if there isn't a better way.
I don't want something that is associated with the spreadsheet or workbook specifically, so it needs to be part of Excel or stand alone (not a macro from what I understand). Is it possible to modify the Find and Replace dialog box in Excel?
A point in the right direction would be much appreciated, thanks!
It's not possible (at least with any sensible level of effort) to modify the built-in search functionality to add parameters and to display different output. You would need to create a similar tool in your language of choice and build in your new requirements.

I have an excel spreadsheet that performs many calculations based on 4 cells to come up with a certain figure. I have been tasked to convert this spreadsheet to a widget like component that can be embedded into a web application.
Is there an easy way to display or understand the embedded formula's in the excel spreadsheet, so that I have an easier time converting them into ActionScript?
Thanks.
If I understand you correctly. Tools|Options|Windows Options and then check the Formulas box. That will show the formulas instead of the values. And it should open up the Formula Audting tool bar. Those tools should give you want you want.
Have you looked at Calc4Web? I've never used it, so I can't give a review, but the basic idea is that it generates C++ code from spreadsheet logic.
If you simply want to view the actual formula, not the result (the value), then when you are active on the cell which has formula you wish to see, press CTRL + (grave accent). The grave accent is usually one key to the left of the number 1 key on most keyboards. This works as a toggle, so if you press CTRK + (the grave accent key) again - the value will appear as it was prior to you pressing that keystroke combination.
Additional:
If you wish to show ALL of the forumlae for the entire workbook, then follow these steps:
Click the Office button on the top-left and then click the Excel Options button in the bottom right of that window that comes up..
Click the "Advanced" tab in the left pane.
Scroll down to the display pptions for "This Worksheet" section
Select the "Show Formulas in Cells Instead of Their Calculated Results" check box and then click OK.
Since there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to convert excel spreadsheets into ActionScript I suggest you view the formulas and try to solve them by hand if the amount of data isn’t to large or by writing a throw away script if a lot of data is required. This way you will understand the calculations and can implement them in ActionScript rather then relying on a wizard whose code you may or may not understand.
You can also toggle this setting from the keyboard by Ctrl+~ (that's the tilde, the first key in th numbers row)
So, if you want to quickly see the formula in a cell and come back to the normal view, just press Ctrl+~ twice
