I have over 12 thousand prices in a single column. They look like this.

595000
100250
150099
859900


595000 is supposed to be $5.95
100250 is supposed to be $100.25
150099 is supposed to be $1500.99
859900 is supposed to be $85.99

Help, how do I convert this to the correct amounts.


Thankx in advance

Hello, welcome to the board. :)

Here's one way, and it assumes that the last non-zero is the last number in the returned dollar amount, that is, you never have 0 cents, e.g., $1.20. Is this a good assumption? It looks like it based on your sample...

I use the following UDF:

Code: 
Public Function foo(ByRef strIn As String) As Currency
Dim b() As Byte, i As Long, tmpStr As String
Let b = strIn
For i = UBound(b) - 1 To LBound(b) Step -2
    If b(i)<> 48 Then
        ReDim Preserve b(0 To i + 1)
        Exit For
    End If
Next
Let tmpStr = b
Let foo = tmpStr / 100
End Function
As such:
Book1
ABCD
15950005.95
2100250100.25
31500991500.99
485990085.99
Sheet1


It's got some chops; I recalculated b1:b12000 in ~1 Millisecond. ;)

Hi Ken,

48 is very significant, well, in this case...

In the VBA help file (hit F1 in the VBE), search on Character Set. Check out 0-127, and hone in on 48.

See what I mean? :)

Ok, so do I paste foo in the visual basic editor? Right now I am still lost as to what the next step is?

yes, paste the entire function into a module in the VBE. Then on your worksheet, call the function with =foo(a1) for example.

Right, using it as a worksheet function, as I did in my example, is one possible implementation.

But get it into a normal module and use it as I did for starters. Alt-F11 to get into the VBE, click Insert->Module and paste it there. Then it's go-time. :)

Still need help - after getting home and trying, here is what I have.
3.89 should be 38.90......3.25 should be 38.90, many of the others work depending on where the zero is.
