MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / May 2008conditional formatting
I am trying to import categorical data into a spreadsheet. I need the categorical data to import as numerical values (i.e. white = 1, black = 2, hispanic = 3, etc.) Is there a way to do this using conditional formatting? If not, please offer a different suggestion. Thanks! Nope, theres nothing you really can do with conditional formatting for this. The only thing I can think of is just import the data, then in a new column write out the formula to change those text values to numbers... like If(A1="white",1,If(A1="black",2,etc or you can put the numerical values next to the colors and use vlookup up, such as Vlookup(A1,array,2,FALSE) Where the array is the list of colors and there values. > I am trying to import categorical data into a spreadsheet.
