Number format based on number format of another cell in another workbook
Excel 2000
I have two files, one master and one created by opening a text file. The master file has a list of unique product codes and descriptions in two columns, the text that is opened has the product codes and I add during the opening process a look up to the product code to return the product description, this all works fine. The text file after opening is 7 columns, product code, product description and 5 columns of numbers. What I need to do is format the cells (numbers) in the last 5 columns of the newly opened text file. My thoughts are to add a third column to the master file whereby I'll have 3 columns: product code, product description and number format, in the number format column I would format the cell with the required number format. My issue is, how using VBA do I format the cells in the newly opened text file where the product code matches that of the corresponding product code in the master file. The text file can have many of the same product codes and in some instances, not all of the product codes. I had also thought of Conditioning Format but alas, this doesn't cover number formatting. Any pointers, snippets of code most welcome. Thanks, Rob |

Bob,
Great Add-In. However, not allowing the formula Vlookup to look up product code and apply number format. "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Number format based on number format of another cell in another workbook
Rob,
Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean? It would be the add-in itself that allows the number format. So, if you had a VLOOKUP in the cell, you would apply the add-in just like normal CF to test the value, and set the format accordingly. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Rob" wrote in message ...

Number format based on number format of another cell in another workbook
Thoug i did not understand fully when exactly you want to format the cell,
I assume that if the VLOOKUP succeeds you want to format that 5 column, else you want to leave it as it is. I also assume that presently you are doing VLOOKP in the sheet itself with standard VLOOKUP formula entered and drag-copied? If this is true then where the VLOOUP did not succeed it will show "N#A" So you can write code like below For each c In Workbooks("Text").Worksheets("xyz").Range("B:B").C ells If Not c.Text = "N#A" Then 'note: it should be c.Text not c.Value c.Offset(0,5).NumberFormat = "whatever" End If Next Ofcource you can refer to the column until the last used row, I just skipped that part. You can put it in workbook open event or make it a module macro and run whenever you feel. But in case you are doing it different way and "N#A" does not appear in the cell ( many times I suppress "N#A" adding IF( ISERR(VLOOKUP .. ) Then you can make code in VBA to check if VLOOKUP is an error and if not then format the number. e.g.: Dim c On Error Resume Next For Each c In Workbooks("Text").Worksheets("xyz").Range("A:A1") If Not IsError(Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup _ (c.Value, Workbooks("Master").Worksheets("xyz") _ .Range("A:B"), 2, False)) Then c.Offset(0, 6).NumberFormat = "whatever" End If Next c Note: I didn't refer to the ranges properly in above example.

Number format based on number format of another cell in another workbook
Bob,
I've tried again, this time adding a Vlookup column in my opened text file that returns 2, the CF add-in is set up likewise to format the cell to 2 decimal places. However, there are c. 200 rows and using the CF add-in copy and past function, the reference is always to the initial formula and as such would take forever to setup each cell condition. That is unless there's a VBA method of setting up for each cell. Regards, Rob "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Rob, Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean?

Sharad,
The last example looks to have some possibilities, I'll set up and test in my files. Now you've given the idea, I recall code CASE where I could set up the criteria.

Bob,

Rob,
No there isn't I am afraid. Recording doesn't record the actions in a dialog, and this is all dialog. But it shouldn't be necessary, as it is a once-off action to select all the cells and add the formula and format. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Rob" wrote in message ...
