Subject: [Dba-office] Interesting date input behavior
Message-ID: <001b01d32e12$618b1430$24a13c90$@gmail.com>

If I type the first few letters of the day, the app displays an AutoComplete
screen tip offering the full day. If I press Enter, the app will complete
the day of the week for me. A reader is trying to use this feature and the
app is entering the date, not the day of the week. I've been looking around
for a setting that might control this, but not finding anything. 

Anyone know what setting controls this -- is it Windows or Office? It might
be a version issue too. A quick run through spots I thought I might find
something have turned up nothing.

I'm using this formula:
=INT(F3) & "'-" & 12*MOD(F3,1) &""""
To make this (F3): 100.79166666666700
Look like this: 100'-9.50000000000006"

So I add Round()
=INT(F9) & "'-" & ROUND((12*MOD(F9,1)),2) &""""
to get it to look like this: 100'-9.5"

The numbers after the decimal point will be limited to 2 places (because of the data)

How can I get it to always add the 0 after the 5 so that the resulting column figures align?

Can you send me the sheet, or a sheet with a bit of data in it to play with?

Hi John

You need to format both parts as text, then concatenate:

    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Cells(x, y).Formula = _
        "=TEXT(INT(F3),""0\-"")&TEXT(ROUND(12*MOD(F3,1),2),""0.00"")"

    10-9.50
