Dynamic table

the formatting of the table to one row blue next one white and so forth was not possible in one of my files even though I unselected the filter an applied it again, it would not apply the selected formatting for the dynamic range and gave all rows blue colour.

RE: Dynamic table

Hi Neda,

Thank you for the forum question.

First select a cell in the table and click Ctrl a (to select it all). On the Home tab Font group click on the down arrow next to the bucket (fill colour) and click No fill.

If this is not doing it, unfortunately you will have to do some cleaning and add the formatting to the table again.

Click inside the table and press Ctrl a (to select it all). Go to the Home tab, Editing group, and click Clear Format (Click on the icon bottom left of the Editing group and click Clear format).

This will remove all formatting from your table. Unfortunately also number and date formatting.

Click inside the table and click on the Table Design tab. In the last group Tables Styles, click on the bottom down arrow and select the style you want. Unfortunately you will also have to add your date and number formatting again, if you had date and number formatting in the table before.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
