Numaric to TEXT

Use the test function.
Formula in cell A1 would be =text(a2,"dddd").
This would pick up the date from cell A2 and return the day of the week in cell A1.

#VALUE? is an error indication meaning that Excel can't process the formula. It is most likely the result of a bad cell reference in your formula, for example, you may be trying to perform mathematical operations on a cell that contains non-numeric text data.

I hope this helps and thanks for rating my effort...any other questions...shoot em to me....The Fang.

Restricting character input You can use the SetInputTextType command to restrict the characters that the user can enter in the text input dialog box. For example, suppose an application contains an input text field for users to provide a numeric value, such as their age, and that the input text field has the variable name ageVar. To ensure that the user enters only numeric values in the text input dialog box, you could add the following code to your application:
fscommand2("SetInputTextType", "ageVar", "Numeric");
When users open the input text dialog box, they can enter only numeric values in the text fields.
For more information, see SetInputTextType in the fscommand2 function entry in the Flash Lite 2.x ActionScript Language Reference.

Assumption:

1. we work on sheet1, cell b1 as description of material and cell e1 as quantity figure.
2. we will put the transfer the text in cell b1 to sheet2 cell a1 if you have entered some value in sheet1 cell e1. Otherwise sheet2 cell a1 will left empty or display some text as "NONE" or as you wish.

what you should do is make a formula in sheet2 cell a1 like this:

=IF(Sheet1!e1<>"",Sheet1!b1,"")

The formula will check sheet1 cell e1, if there is any number or text put in there, the value of Sheet1 cell b1 will be copied to sheet2 cell a1. If you don't supply any number or text in sheet1 cell e1, there's nothing will appeared in sheet2 cell a1.

If you want some text will display when there's no value in sheet1 cell e1 just change the formula like this:

=IF(Sheet1!e1<>"",Sheet1!b1,"NONE")

You can modify it as your like. Just copy the formula to another row in sheet2 column a.


P.S.: If this information was helpful, please rate this solution.

To find the second character in a string in A1 use =mid(A2,2,1)
To check if it is a number use =isnumber(value(mid(A2,2,1)))

I hope this helps to get past the part you are stuck on - not being familiar with your problem it's difficult to give you any more advice.

Correct a #N/A error Show All Hide All This error occurs when a value is not available to a function or formula.

1. Optionally, click the cell that displays the error, click the button that appears , and then click Show Calculation Steps if it appears.
2. Review the following possible causes and solutions. Missing data, and #N/A or NA() has been entered in its place
   Replace #N/A with new data.
   Note You can enter #N/A in those cells where data is not yet available. Formulas that refer to those cells will then return #N/A instead of attempting to calculate a value.
   Giving an inappropriate value for the lookup_value argument in the HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet function
   Make sure that the lookup_value argument (argument: The values that a function uses to perform operations or calculations. The type of argument a function uses is specific to the function. Common arguments that are used within functions include numbers, text, cell references, and names.) is the correct type of value — for example, a value or a cell reference, but not a range reference. Using the VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or MATCH worksheet function to locate a value in an unsorted table
   By default, functions that look up information in tables must be sorted in ascending order. However, the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP worksheet functions contain a range_lookup argument (argument: The values that a function uses to perform operations or calculations. The type of argument a function uses is specific to the function. Common arguments that are used within functions include numbers, text, cell references, and names.) that instructs the function to find an exact match even if the table is not sorted. To find an exact match, set the range_lookup argument to FALSE. The MATCH worksheet function contains a match_type argument that specifies the order the list must be sorted in to find a match. If the function cannot find a match, try changing the match_type argument. To find an exact match, set the match_type argument to 0.
   Using an argument in an array formula that is not the same number of rows or columns as the range that contains the array formula
   If the array formula (array formula: A formula that performs multiple calculations on one or more sets of values, and then returns either a single result or multiple results. Array formulas are enclosed between braces { } and are entered by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.) has been entered into multiple cells, make sure that the ranges referenced by the formula have the same number of rows and columns, or enter the array formula into fewer cells. For example, if the array formula has been entered into a range 15 rows high (C1:C15) and the formula refers to a range 10 rows high (A1:A10), the range C11:C15 will display #N/A. To correct this error, enter the formula into a smaller range (for example, C1:C10), or change the range to which the formula refers to the same number of rows (for example, A1:A15).
   Omitting one or more required arguments from a built-in or custom worksheet function
   Enter all arguments (argument: The values that a function uses to perform operations or calculations. The type of argument a function uses is specific to the function. Common arguments that are used within functions include numbers, text, cell references, and names.) in the function.
   Using a custom worksheet function that is not available
   Make sure that the workbook that contains the worksheet function is open and the function is working properly.
   Running a macro that enters a function that returns #N/A
   Make sure that the arguments (argument: The values that a function uses to perform operations or calculations. The type of argument a function uses is specific to the function. Common arguments that are used within functions include numbers, text, cell references, and names.) in the function are correct and in the correct position.
   

Yes, its possible by designing a formula in excel.

Maybe this is what you need:
=IF(A1="toilet",(B1*2),(IF(A1="bread",(B1*3),(IF(A1="star",(B1*4))))))
this is called "nested".
You can put nested if function maximum 7. (for more than 7, we should make another "trick")
if you put toilet in A1 then come the value B1*2
if you put bread in A1 then come the value B1*3
if you put star in A1 then come the value B1*4
Note: SUM(F16*0.3) is wrong. should be only (F16*0.3) or if you want to do sum --> SUM(F16:F20)

Try using the SUMIF function for one condition or multiple conditions. Use the SUMIF worksheet function to create a total value for one range based on a value in another range. For example, for every cell in the rage B5:B25 that contains the value "Northwind", the following formula calculates the total for the corresponding cells in the range F5:F25. Formula:
=sumif(B5:B25,"Northwind",F5:F25)

Here are SUMIF functions for multiple conditions.

=sum(if((B5:B25="Northwind")*(C5:C25="Western"),F5:F25))

=sum(if((B5:B25="Northwind")+(C5:C25="Western"),F5:F25))

=sum(if(B5:B25="Northwind",IF(C5:C25="Western"),1,0)))

Also check your help for SUMIF functions.

If this helps you, Please rate me. Thanks, Patty

Is there by any chance a space or any other character before the equals sign? That could cause your formula to display as text.
