I am working with serial numbere that have an E as part of the number. (e.g 123456.7E2021) If I format the cells as text Excel will display the number correctly.
The problem is I am exporting the serial numbers from Oracle and I have to save the file in a previously saved workbook and when I do excell automaticly applies Euler's Number rule so I am not able to change the number back with formating.

In Google Sheets I have a column containing a list of available Serial Numbers (say, column A).
Somewhere else (say, column B) a user must choose the serial number used among those listed in column A; I use Data Validation with a drop-down list in order to prevent the user to use a non-existent serial number.
My goal is to allow the user only choose the remaining available serial numbers, by removing from the drop-down list all the serial numbers already used.
By using the FILTER function, combined with MATCH and ISNA, I am able to create a column of available serial numbers (say, column C). The function used is:
=FILTER(A2:A;ISNA(MATCH(A2:A;B2:B;0))).
Then I moved the Data Validation list of column B (where the user must select the serial number used) from column A (all serial numbers) to column C (filtered serial numbers). I also added the "Reject input" in the Data Validation form, so I can allow the user only to enter a value listed in column C.
It works, but all the previously entered serial numbers on column B have a small red triangle showing that data is not valid. Of course, this happens because all entered values are removed from the data validation list.
I could simply ignore the red triangles, but I don't like this solution that much, because it always looks like there's an error on the sheet, and when we will have many data inside it would be difficult to distinguish this problem from any others.
Is there a different way to solve?
Thanks
with formula only you can use:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A2:A, NOT(COUNTIF(C3:C4, A2:A)), A2:A<>""))
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A2:A, NOT(COUNTIF({C2; C4}, A2:A)), A2:A<>""))
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A2:A, NOT(COUNTIF(C2:C3, A2:A)), A2:A<>""))
then hide columns and use validation:
where this is the result:
demo sheet
update:
1st fx:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A2:A, NOT(COUNTIF(C3:C4, A2:A)), A2:A<>""))
2nd and every next fx:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A$2:A, NOT(COUNTIF({
INDIRECT("C2:C"&ROW()-1); INDIRECT("C"&ROW()+1&":C")}, A$2:A)), A$2:A<>""))
I have an excel file which is non-system generated report format.
I wish to calculate and generate another new output.
Given the Report format as below:-
1) Inside the query when load this excel file, how can I create a new column to copy and paste on the first found value (1#51) at column at the next record, if the next record is empty. Once, if detected a new value (1#261) then copy and paste to the subsequent null value of few next records till this end?
2) The final aim is to generate a new output to auto match/calculate the money to be assign to different reference. As shown below:-
The reference A ~ E is sharing the 3 bank Ref (28269,28542 & RMP) , was thinking to read the same data source a few times, first time to read the column A ~ O(QueryRef) and 2nd time to read the same source to read from A, Q ~ V(QueryBank).
After this I do not have idea how I can allocate the $$ from Query Bank to QueryRef based on the Sum of Total AR.
Eg,
Total Amt of BankRef 28269, $57,044.67 is sufficient to cover Ref#A $10,947.12
BankRef 28269 still sufficient to cover Ref#B $27,647.60
BankRef 28269 left only $18,449.95 , hence the balance of 28269 be allocate to Ref#C.
Remaining balance of Ref#C will need to use BankRef28542 to cover,i.e. $1,812.29
Ref#D will then be allocated of the remaining balance of BankRef28542, i.e. $4,595.32
Ref#D still left $13,350.03 unallocated, hence this will use BankRef#RMP
Ref#E only need $597.66, and BankRef#RMP is sufficient to cover this.
I am not sure if my above case study can be solved using power query or not, due to me still being a newbie # Power Query? Or this is too complicate to handle hence we need to write a program to auto matching this kinds of scenario?
Attached is the sample source file and output :

Any advice/opinion/guidance is very much appreciated.
Answering question one:
You have a feature in Powerquery called FILL, DOWN or UP.
For a selected column you can copy the first non empty value to all rows under until a new non empty row is found and so on.
Goal: Using Excel 2010, how can I get each change number's (listed in column A) to show the Max Business Criticality (from column B) to display in column C via formula(s)?
Let me explain: I have a list of Change tickets (in column A) where the change number will likely be listed multiple times (due to different locations and servers). This means each change number may be listed once or may be listed 20 times. Each occurrence of the change number is assigned a Business Criticality (again, based on different locations and servers). This value is captured in column B.
In column C, of the same table, I need to return the max criticality associated with each change and have that be displayed in each row (see image for desired result - colored for ease of differentiating change numbers).
Everything I've seen involves creating a distinct list of change numbers separate from the source table. I'd rather not do that.
How can I get each change number's MaxCrit to display in column C?
I'll try to attach the file if I can figure out how (and/or if I have rights to do so).
In C2 with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and copied down to suit:
=MAX(IF(A:A=A2,B:B))

I have a Excel sheet with N number of rows and M no.of Columns (Its not a table). I want to Convert this excel to Word document where i want the data in columns to be filled line by line in the word document. Is this possible ? or else Any tool is already available ?
I am exporting data from oracle table into a csv file. I have a column of varchar2 datatype and it has values like 1.1 and 1.10. When I export these to a csv file the value 1.10 becomes 1.1 and thus creating duplicate records. Is there a way to get both the values 1.10, 1.1 into csv file without loosing the last zero in "1.10".
Thanks
When I export these to a csv file the value 1.10 becomes 1.1 and thus creating duplicate records.
This has nothing to do with Oracle. It is a display problem with the tool you are using. use proper formatting of cells to display up to required decimal places.
Also, 1.1 and 1.10 are same. Appending zeroes to the right after decimal makes no significant difference to the value.
Excel Text Formatting
Right click on the cell.
Select Format Cells.
In the first tab Number, select Text.
Click OK.
Text format cells are treated as text even when a number is in the cell.
The cell is displayed exactly as entered.
