Two excel problems
I am using Excel 2000, I have two problem, one small, one big Small problem I have a worksheet with just under 5000 rows and half a dozen columns. Two of the columns contain telephone numbers. Unfortunately in the conversion of the data to get it into a format that excel could use the leading "0" was stripped from the phone number, how can I put the "0" back in again (I don't have access to the original data so I can't rerun the conversion). Big problem This ones a little harder, I have a worksheet with around 40 telephone number on it in one column (call this worksheet Y). I have another 10 worksheets (call these worksheet a,b,c,d etc.) which contain imported telephone bill information (numbers called, duration, cost etc.). What I want to do is see how often the number listed on worksheet Y appears on each of the worksheets a, b, c, etc. Anyone tell me how?? Regards Tim |

Something which could fix the small problem .. Assume tel#s' running in A1 down, and should be in 7 digits format Put in B1: =IF(A1="","",TEXT(A1,"0000000")) (Adapt the number of zeros to suit) Copy B1 down. Col B will return the tel#s with the leading zeros (if applicable). Then select col B copy, and overwrite col A with a paste special as values. Delete col B to clean up. Repeat for the other col of tel#s. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

What I want to do is see how often the number listed on worksheet Y appears on each of the worksheets a, b, c, etc. In Y, Assume the 40 tel nos are listed in A2 down Assume the tel nos on the 10 sheets (a, b, c, d, etc) are all in col A (The tel nos in Y -- with the "small problem" rectified -- and those in the 10 sheets are assumed to be in a consistent format) List the names of the 10 sheets in B1 across, eg: a, b, c, d, etc Ensure that these names are consistent with the actual names on the 10 tabs. Watch out for typos, extra spaces, etc Then just put in B2: =IF(OR($A2="",B$1=""),"",COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&B$1& "'!A:A"),$A2)) Copy B2 across and fill down to populate the table -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
