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 would like to add an icon to cells based on rule if another cell contains a value.
Here are cells which I want to format. On the left side I want to add icon in the right side of the cell if the cell in the column Note of the same row contains a value. For Example, "Formale Systeme" cell should have that icon because there is a note "2" in that row.
Here is an example how it should look.
Cells on the left side are D7-D66 and cells on the right side are I7-I66

Please see my sample excel sheet. I am trying to filter out tasks by projects. For example if i filter Project A then i would want to see all the tasks that falls under this project.
How is this possible in excel?
please help.
thanks
Very simple. You have left gaps in column A. While this may improve readability for humans, it creates difficulty for AutoFilter.
Fill-down cells A3 through A5 with Project A Then format these cells so the color of the font matches the interior color of the cell (this makes the text invisible and restores your visual effect)
Finally apply the AutoFilter and all the correct rows will be visible!

I made a table in Excel and the inputs are going to be single letters. Is it possible to format the table so that, if a certain letter is inputted, the cell automatically changes to a specified colour???
Thanks, sorry if this isn't the right place to put this question.
Yes, you make use of conditional formatting.
Let's say your table is in A1:G5. Click on conditional formatting. Pick 'Highlight Cell Rules' and 'Equal To...'.
Insert the value you want to highlight and pick the highlight from the dropdown button.

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 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.
