How do you zero fill a number to 10 positions inside an excel spreadsheet?
i.e. If cell A1 has 1234 how can cell A2 display 0000001234 (10 postions).
=TEXT(A1,"0000000000")
Not a programming question, really:
Select cells you want formatted in this way.
Right click and select "Format Cells..."
Select the "Number" Tag, and scroll down to "Custom" in the category list.
Type "0000000000" into the Type field.
Format>Cells...>Number>Custom>Type>0000000000
This formula is variable.
It checks the length of the value and add "0" in front
Now the lenght is 10. You can change it.
=REPT("0",10-LEN(A1))&A1
I know this is a pretty old post, but I've just came across the same problem while exporting a sql table to excel, and I found I very simple solution!
Just set the cell format to ' Custom' then type the amount of characters you want the final number to have;
In your case 10 positions '0000000000'
I don't usually reply to the stackoverflow's posts, so I don't have enought reputation to post images;
Something like the following.
right( "0000000000" & number, 10 )
Put 10 zeroes on the left, take the right-most 10 positions, whatever they turn out to be.
Also, you have
text( number, "0000000000" )
How to display full the number inside in excel workseet?
I.e cell A1 "2.40252E+13" how to display full number in A1 became "24025207702012"

I was using excel and I need to generate a Series which goes:
Ret 1
Ret 2
Ret 3
So on till...
Ret 15000
I've been able to drag it reasonably till 100 or so, but it's impossible to do it till 15000. I've solved the problem using a different approach, but wanted to know if this was possible using JUST the Fill function in Excel. Thanks
Well, if your value starts at A1 you can use ="Ret "&ROW(A1) and fill it down to A15000.
This might be a round about way, but surely works.
Enter '1' in column A (A1)
Select column A and click Home --> Fill --> Series
Type --> Linear, Stop value --> 15000 and click OK
Enter 'Ret 1' in column B (B1)
Double click the fill handle in the cell B1.
Now you have what you wanted
I want to auto convert cell values to lakh(Indian Unit) decimal
1) 120212 to 1.20
2) 898982 to 8.98
Is this possible with format-cell?
If you just want the figures , then using the following formula will do it :
=ROUND(A1/100000,2)
where the value in A1 is , to take your own example , 12538746.
The result will be 125.39
A method would be to use the number format - 0.00,,%\% which does work but unfortunately adds percentage signs. This is because the commas devide by 1000 but percentages multiply by 100, so you need it to do the last devide.
You could hide the percentages by putting a carriage return in possibly, but that's probably your best bet with numberformats.
Type 100000 in a spare cell. Copy it and paste special on the value to be converted as lacs and select divide on that. Automatically the cells which has values will get converted to lacs.
Just go to Format-Format Cell-number-custom-type #.00, if u wanna add Zero before, eg 5000 to read as 0.05 instead of just .05 type 0#.00,

It was i am looking for...
I have made an excel formula that will take the data entered into column O and then multiply it by .04 and then input that data into column P. So I can calculate a four percent fee from the original number. I am now left with a bunch of $0.00 in every row in the P column that lacks data in the O column. I understand this is because 0*.04 = 0. But what I was wondering is if there was a way to make it so that if the total in column P was less than $0.01 or equivalent to $0.00 that the cell would remain blank.
I tried to post an image to show exactly what I am talking about, but I do not yet have the reputation. Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to do based off what I typed.
Do conditional formatting of the cell such that if the value = 0, the number type is "general"
Then, in your formula for the cell itself (assuming you multiply C3*B3), you can do this:
=IF(C3*B3>0,C3*B3,"")
This will use number formatting for all values that are non-zero, but empty string "" with general formatting for zero values.
Method 1:
Select the cells with the percentages in column P and tap Ctrl+1. When the Format Cells dialog opens, go to the Number tab and choose Custom from the list down the left. Supply the following in the Type: textbox.
$#,##0.00;;;
Click OK in the lower right.
Method 2:
Go into Excel Options (Alt+F,T) and choose Advanced from the list down the left. Scroll the right pane down to the Display options for this worksheet section and uncheck Show a zero in cells that have a zero value. Click OK in the lower right.
You can use conditional formatting when the value is less than 0.01 make the font white
The cell will still be 0 but not visible
Try this: =IF(O2<0.01,"",O2*0.04). This particular formula is checking to see if cell O2 is less than 0.01, and if so is filling in the P2 cell with a zero-length string. If O2 is equal or larger than 0.01 it will multiply by .04 and put that result in cell P2.
I have a cell in MS Excel that has this formulas :
=AVERAGE(E2:E165)
How do I make the column display the average followed by " days", i.e. it look like? :
1234 days
Right click on the target cell (or entire column), choose "Format Cells"
On "Number" tab, choose Category: "Custom"
In the text box under "Type:" type:
0" days"
This will have the additional benefit of the VALUE in that cells is still a NUMBER (as opposed to TEXT), and can be used in formulas easily without having to parse out the "DAYS" text like BigBobby's solution ;)
This will append the word days, and also limits the # to 3 decimal places.
=CONCATENATE(ROUND(AVERAGE(E2:E165), 3), " days")
I have this excel sheet which has some questions. they are in cell no. a1, a2, a3 ....... and so on.
Each question has a number assigned to it like the following.
what is your hair color?
where is tower hamlet?
how to cock 5 potato?
Is number 10 greater then number 2?
etc.
You see each question number has a (.) assigned next to it.
I want to remove any numerical value which has (.) next to it.
so that I have only the text question and not the numbers.
For your example Replace *. should work.
This will take the right most values less the "#. space"
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(".",A1)-1)
