I have imported some query results from SQL Server 2008 to Excel csv file and it got imported like the following:
So Acct_No and TELE looks similar. How can I make sure that everything gets displayed uniquely? These scientific notation is making everything look similar.
Convert it to text. Since it's an account number there is no need to calculate it and therefore no need to treat it as a number. When you import delimited files, make sure to specify that column not as "general", but as text.
If the file is already created, use the "text to columns" functionality.
Edit: For example: office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/split-names-by-using-the-convert-text-to-columns-wizard-HA010102340.aspx
Click on both columns and:
Format > Format Cells... > Number > Number > and specify no decimals
and if you prefer macros:
Sub Macro1()
Columns("A:B").Cells.NumberFormat = "0"
End Sub

I need to format numbers in excel as below:
1,00,00,00,000/- for positive number
-1,00,00,00,000/- for negative number
no character for zero
I tried but failed! I am using excel 2007.Could any one help for all version of excels?
How to do?
###,###,###,###,##0\/\-;-###,###,###,###,##0\/\-;""
does the jobs! But
[>=10000000000]##\,##\,##\,##0\/-;[<=10000000000]##\,##\,##\,##0\/-;""
places unnecessary commas while the number is only one digit in length.
Thank you! But you need to tinker with regional grouping system for number and currency, llike 10,00,00,00,000, as described at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_excel-mso_win10-mso_2016/thousand-formating-split-number-by-2-digits/1e347f40-4784-4033-b4e3-096b0c9cb5f4
Instead of working on formats,
Change Region to English India in Region settings
And change format to Numbers with Comma
Will do the Job

I need to enter the following text in a cell:
+A
It is important that it be without quotes. The problem is that it is reading it as a formula and automatically turning it into =+A and reading it as a formula. I do not want to enter this as a formula as it will give me the result #NAME? result. How can I accomplish this?
Simply add a single quote before the sign:
'+A
This will appear as +A
Or you could do something like:
="+A"
Another option yet would be to first format the cell as text and then you can input anything without excel wanting to treat it as formula.
Simple add a single quote before:
'+A

I tried to store 999,999,999,999,999.22 in Microsoft Excel. but its automatically rounded to 999,999,999,999,999.00.
What is the maximum number can store in MS excel with 2 decimal places?
How we store large numbers in excel files?
I haven't looked at the documentations, but I did a quick test on my Excel 2007 and those are the results:
It's pretty self-explanatory and to answer your second question, you can store the numbers as text by pre-pending the number with a single quote: ' (e.g. Use '999999999999999.22). It's not ideal, but that works. You'll have to multiply it by 1 or add 0 if you use this value in a formula.

I have a spreadsheet with excel with a column with over 1000 values that looks as follows:
15hrs
12hrs
34hrs
etc..
Can someone please give me a method on how to sum over these values as I have no clue on how to do this..
Change the A1:A3 to be the actual range:
=SUMPRODUCT(--SUBSTITUTE(A1:A3,"hrs",""))
Take a copy, replace hrs with nothing, then sum the result.
You cannot sum over the text values, but you can get what you're looking to do in a different way (if this'll work for you):
Select the column and go Replace all "Hrs" with blanks "" - In effect, making your text numbers
With the column values still highlighted, go to Format Cells and choose the "Custom" format... Change the format to General"Hrs"
Now you can add the values since they are stored as values, but LOOK like text.
I don't know if this'll work for you, but it should accomplish the task at hand if it does...

I have an Excel spreadsheet here.
What I dont know is
if you look at the main grid the columns are formatted for space so that the description is larger. Now the part at the bottom left. I really want those 4 columns
'RESIDENT NAME' 'ACCOUNT NUMBER' 'DATE' 'AMOUNT DUE'
I really want them aligned with the rest of the grid but how do i subdivide the large Description column to accomodate this?
Because of your formatting in your question I can't be sure what you want, but if you're trying to line up more than one column with the Description column, just make the Description column a merge of more than one column, then multiple columns will be able to fit underneath it.
You can merge cells by selecting them, then going to Format Cells->Alignment and clicking the Merge cells box.
