I have a data sheet of an imported IP address table. Sometimes in de IP column he shows
192.168.18.31 but when you open the cell it actually is 1921681831. When i try to change it, by typing '.' between it, it still stays 1921681831. I've tried to check the cell format but everything seems normal.
Anyone an idea how to overcome it, and how to change it? is there a way some automaticly change all the wrong cells. (because i have a data sheet of more than 600 rows)
Thanks in advance!
The problem you're facing is that Excel treats the value you entered as a normal number, i.e. 1921681831 to which it applies default formatting - which is to add a thousands separator after every 3 digits.
What you need to do instead is to tell Excel to treat the cell as text! To so, either start the cell with ', i.e. '192.168.18.31, or format the cell as Text (in the Format Cell dialog in the Number tab).

I'm a student who's currently going through exams and to help revise I'm making a spreadsheet to keep track of all the marks I've got for questions in example questions.
REFER TO SCREENSHOT & SPREADSHEET DOWNLOAD
I need the average percentage correct to be calculated for each topic.
Download of the spreadsheet for you to test

Considering you already have the count of each question in column 'P' then that is helpful.
You can use SUMIF(G:G,O29,J:J)/P29 to calculate that percentage for each cell in column 'Q'. Once you enter that formula into that cell then simply drag it up and down to fill up all your desired cells in column 'Q'.
You may notice that you will run into a DIVISION BY ZERO error. You can avoid this by surrounding the SUMIF function with an IF function that will simply display a blank cell rather than try to calculate anything if the count of questions is ZERO.
EXAMPLE: IF(P29=0 , "" , sumif(...) )
Note: Once you auto drag the equation choose "fill without formatting" to keep your formatting clean.

I'm trying to copy over some data from a set of merged cells into a single cell format. I don't know how to do this.
I'm trying to copy this:
This is what I get when I paste it:
This is what I want to happen when I paste it:
Since my merged cells "are" single cells, I wish they would paste like single cells. I haven't found a solution anywhere. I know that you can Special Paste values, but that doesn't keep the formatting that I need.
If you paste your selection, you'll notice a small blue icon at the bottom left of the pasted range. Click on it and select the third icon "Formulas & Number Formats":
This should do the job!

I need help setting up an Excel-Formula.
I have two tables that I need to compare in order to multiply the currency rate of table2 with the amount of table1 depending on the date of table1 matching the date field of table2.
If you have a look at the screenshot I made I think you will understand what I want to do: Image
Hope you can help me set up a formula for this. If you need the excel-file for testing I uploaded it to zoho. Link
This should do it:
=IF(ISNA(A3*INDEX($F$2:$H$13,MATCH(1,(B3=$G$2:$G$13)*(C3=$F$2:$F$13),0),3)),A3,A3*INDEX($F$2:$H$13,MATCH(1,(B3=$G$2:$G$13)*(C3=$F$2:$F$13),0),3))
Select your cell and put your cursor in the formula bar and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
PS: thanks to RocketDonkey ;)
In the interest of showing various ways, here is alternative using SUMPRODUCT:
=A2*SUMPRODUCT(--($F$2:$F$13=C2),--($G$2:$G$13=B2),$H$2:$H$13)
If you wanted to handle 0 values differently, you could wrap everything in an IF statement.
=IF(A2*SUMPRODUCT(--($F$2:$F$13=C2),--($G$2:$G$13=B2),$H$2:$H$13)=0,
"Special stuff",
A2*SUMPRODUCT(--($F$2:$F$13=C2),--($G$2:$G$13=B2),$H$2:$H$13))

I'm not sure if VLOOKUP() is the function I am looking for, but here is the spreadsheet that I am working on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap96QeCBYRNtdDlpX0lONDg1YThLN1M5YkNlT1FBeFE
What I am basically trying to do is use the values in cells E18:P18 to determine whether or not my values in cells E4:P7 should be replaced or not. If there is a value other than 0 in that range, then it should take the values from the appropriate column in the range of E13:P16 and replace them into the appropriate item.
So, for this example, we are replacing item values 1 (weapon #1), 3 (off-hand), 4 (helm), and 5 (shoulders). The expected results can be seen on the spreadsheet and these are the values that I would like to show up in the Equipped Item. Is there a way to easily achieve this through an excel formula? If so, what is the best way to use it?
After our discussion, here's what I think you should do.
In the Expected Results table, try this formula out in cell E31:
=IFERROR(INDEX($E$17:$P$20,ROWS($1:1),MATCH(VLOOKUP(E$30,$A$4:$B$17,2,FALSE),$E$22:$P$22,0)),E4)
Once you paste it in, you can copy down and the formula will adjust accordingly.
Here is a picture of the expected results based on your info:
Please let me know if this is the desired result :)

I have two documents that should share a numeric value that should also increase by one after each time one of the documents are used.
For example:
I open docA.xls and it should say 001.
I'd like to be able to change it to 002 and save.
When I open docB.xls, it should say 002, because docA's value is 002.
I'm pretty sure I can create a third spreadsheet that I could update to update the two cell values, but I'm wondering if there is a way to link cells other
than having a formula that reads =A1.
I realize I could have one workbook with three spreadsheets, as well.
But what is the best way to accomplish this?
Copy the first cell.
Paste on the another sheet as a Paste Special => Paste Link.
One workbook w/ 3 spreadsheets would be the most straight-forward; you can specify which spreadsheet in a cell reference, so both sheets could explicitly refer to the same cell. And if you don't like explicitly using the row/col reference, you could always assign it a name and use that.
