Hi all,
I have a spreadsheet that is use to form tables using macros. However, Iuse the same spreadhseet for all the different tables I creat and a problem arises when for one report a column will have a cost in it (want the column or cells to be formated as currency).
Then a clear that and make another report and the old cost column has a account code in it that is amde up as numbers.
Unforunately due to the previous formatting the account code is changed to currency.
The question is: what vba code can I use, for example on column "A" of a spreadhseet that will change the format of that column to what i need. Such as number, currency, text etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I would like to format a range of number as currency, but I want 0's to display as a dash "-". Is there any way to do this without having to individually format the zeros within the range?
Thanks, Ken Murray
In Excel 2007, I have a cell in Sheet1 with the named range of "currency" and data validation set to list, with currency symbols listed in the drop down. On Sheet1 I used conditional formatting to change the number format of certain cells to match the currency symbol selected in the drop down list using,for example, =currency="$" and it works fine. On Sheet2 I use the same conditional format statement and when I select a currency from the drop down on Sheet1 it will change the format once but if I select a different currency it won't change the number format. What's weird, is if not only do I set the conditional formatting to change the number format but the color of the cell as well, the cell color will change but the number format will not. Is this just a bug in excel or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
I have a large file downloaded from SAP business warehouse and all the value are formatted in different curencies. For Example
3,705.00 EUR shows up in the cell, but that is because it has a custom cell format of #,##0.00 "EUR"
or
247,028,600.00 IDR , cell format is #,##0.00 "IDR"
I need to be able to read the "EUR" or "IDR", etc from the cell format so that I can then do a currency conversion on the numbers?
Does anyone know a way of doing this>
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to format a number (say as currency) when it is displayed on
a label control. I can't figure which property to use.
I've read answers for text boxes but these solutions don't seem to apply to
a label.
Thanks in advance.

Could someone please help me with this. It seems easy but haven't been able to do it.
I have a userform and text boxes are used to put data in a cell.
One text box will have the number 1000
And it always prompts that green arrow in the corner of cell that states convert to number, and I always lose my $ sign format, so the column doesn't sum.
Could someone please help.
Thanks Josh
Hi -
I am losing zeros after the decimal point when I convert currency and percentage numbers to text.
Ex.
Cell TAM!$AA$37 is $25.00 (number formatted as currency, two decimal places)
Formula to convert to text that has necessary formatting:
=TEXT(TAM!$AA$37,"$##.##")
Result: $25.
Any ideas on how I can keep my placeholder zeros when converting from number to text?
Thanks
Hi All,
My problem is finding the right function or macro formula to change items that I have imported from historical sports results information.
The data imported has winnings typed in as text including the dollar sign and comma. What I need to do, is convert those entries to format as Currency and be able to add the column totals.
The 2nd thing i need to do, is to remove the T in front of the numbers of finish position, when the players finish in a tie... I need this so a sort according to finish position will appear correctly.
I will attach sample of what I import:
Hope I explained this right and posted properly..
Thanks for help in advance.
