NPV
Anyone know how I can do an NPV calculation with more than 29 values? Many of the adjacent values are identical and there will be no more than 29 different numerical values, however, using ranges doesn't seem to help.

Formatting from Number to Text
I have an excel file that has one column for Product No (alphanumeric).

The only way I could get them to show as 40000001235 is to go to each cell and click on the formula bar. Is there an easier way? I've tried =Value(abc123), =abc123, copy and p...

This is a new one. Using the SUM function in XL 2003 to sum up a series of cells: =SUM(G10+G16+G37+G52+G127+G156+G178) All of these cells have values in them, which are themselves sums of other ranges.
