Call On Cells From Dropdown List?
Jul 30, 2013I have a column of 343 items in E, and their corresponding prices in Row E. I've created a drop down list in numerous cells in Column A for items, and I need to formulate it so that the adjacent cell in Column B for each individual drop down will call the correct prices from E.

Oct 23, 2007I have 2 Fields (Columns) and I have implemented Validation Lists in both these 2 columns.
I have around 10 values in Column A which are available in the List and have around 50 values in Column B in the List.
In other words, one of the five values or items can be selected for a single and unique value in Column A.
is it possible to call one of these 5 values in Column B depending upon the selection of the value in Column A ? Both the columns have validation lists.

Call A Row Based On A Validation List With Vlookup Formulas Intact?
Jun 1, 2006I am trying to create an interactive Price List / Quote Form. I have 1 tab (price list) that contains all data arrays. I have 1 tab (Items) that correctly calls avalable quantities based on a validation list and then Vlookup populates the formulas with the correct pricing & notes based on the quantity. I would like on the cover/quote page to have a drop down (in cells B23-30) where someone can choose a product based on the list, and then have the collums C,D & F populate with the rest of th information:
Column C with quantities for that product
Column D with pricing based on that quanity
Column F with notes for that quantity
Column E will calculate total based on simple math

Lookup Function Call: Vlookup Call In Sheet
May 21, 2006I have a work book with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is the main sheet and sheets 2 and 3 will use (I hope vlookup) to update 3 columns from info in sheet 1. my attempt at a vlookup call in sheet 2 is: =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
my understanding is that: - $b3 is the cell in sheet 2 that will be updated as a result of the vlookup call. - [master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65 refers to range $B$3:$B$65 on sheet1 of master_AoJ_2. it does not work... infact I get nothing at all. when I type the call into cell $b3 of sheet2 excel thinks it is stariaght text. this is how I coded the function call =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)

View 1 Replies View RelatedVBA Set ODBC Connection String For Query
Jul 25, 2008My workbook has 9 queries, all needing the same string. I would like to have a msgbox pop up, let them enter the directory name, and have that change all the odbc conneciton strings automatically. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The message box would be a nice touch, but is not necessary, I can change it in the VBA editor if needed.
Currently, they connect using a Visual FoxPro ODBC driver. We setup the connection when we made the queries. Now that they are in on the worksheets, I want to be able to edit them with VBA instead of using the script editor (which is very slow).

View 2 Replies View RelatedODBC :: Importing External Data From An Oracle 9i Database
Mar 18, 2008I'm having some issues importing external data from an Oracle 9i database.
Here is what is happening:
I am initially able to import data from the table I want to into Excel.
I do this through "Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query" where I have my .ORA data source. I'm able to log in using my user and password and import the table. My problems come after I import this first set of data.
If I try to "Edit Query…" I get an error box that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
If I try to "Refresh Data" I get two error boxes. The first is just: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]" and the next says: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". It then prompts me for the User name and password of the DB I'm connecting and after I enter the information, I get the same two error messages.
Also, if I attempt to establish another connection following the "Data -> Import External Data…" steps I run into a different problem. Upon entering the information for the User Name and password prompt I get two error messages. One says "!" and the next box says "Couldn't read this file". Once I click "OK" in those boxes, the Microsoft Query window automatically opens with nothing in it.
I can't seem to figure out why I can initially pull down data and then cannot succeed afterwards. I'm unable to connect to the DB I have through Excel until I completely closed all Microsoft Excel instances.
I also use this data source in Microsoft Access without any problems.
Excel 2010 :: Assigning Name To Range Received By ODBC Query
Apr 29, 2014I have been working on some ODBC queries in Excel 2010.
First, I recorded them using Excel's Record Macro function, to get an idea of what sort of source data I would need. Then, I rewrote them into something a little more intelligible.
Pulling out all the sensitive info, I want to know how to add the .ListObject.DisplayName property back onto the results of the query. I tried doing it intuitively, but it didn't work. It was in there when I recorded the macro, but I can't seem to figure out where to put it back into the re-written code. Other parts of the code depend on the results of the query being a 'named field'.
[Code] .....
Also, where would I find out what all that stuff in Cnnect means? DBA, APA, EXC, FEN, etc are all just assignments, and I might like to change some to make this run a bit quicker, if I knew what they meant.

Excel 2010 :: ODBC Connection String With Multiple Variable (WHERE) Requirements
Dec 29, 2013With VBA in Excel 2010 I am connecting to a SQL server by using ODBC.
This is a two part process:
Part one:I have created a connection string that gets me the following data: A, B, C, D, E from sheet tpoPurchOrder Where B is equal to "1" And Where C is equal to a changing field under Sheets("Macros").Range("B2")
Here is part one
Code:
Sub Part1()
Sheets("Open PO by Vendor").Select
Sheets("Open PO by Vendor").Cells.Clear
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Connection;Description=Description;UID=USER;PWD=PASSWORD;APP=Microsoft Office 2010;WSID=Workstation;DATABASE=Database" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
[code]...
Part one works perfectly.
Part two is where I have problems.Part two is a little different because I have the same connection, but what changes is the table that I am looking at "tpoPOLine" instead of "tpoPurchOrder" and the where is now going to have a variable number of commands.
I want part two to be depend on part one. Under part one I want the result from column E to be a where statement in part two.
As follows:
In particular: *E3 from Part 1*, etc.
Code:
"SELECT tpoPOLine.Status, tpoPOLine.POKey, tpoPOLine.ItemKey, tpoPOLine.POLineNo, tpoPOLine.UnitCost, tpoPOLine.ExtAmt" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM mas500_DII_app.dbo.tpoPOLine tpoPOLine" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E2 from Part 1*) OR (" _
, _
"tpoPOLine.POKey=*E3 from Part 1* ) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E4 from Part 1*)" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "ORDER BY tpoPOLine.POKey" _
)
Now my problem is that sometimes the E column from part one ends up being 1 row, sometimes it ends up being 50 rows. I would like the code to change accordingly.
1. Pull everything from the SQL server filter once in excel. This is not as efficient as the database has ~300,000 rows in the tpoPOline table and would take a lot longer then needed.
2. Create a nested if table and
Change
Code:
WHERE (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E2 from Part 1*) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E3 from Part 1* ) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E4 from Part 1*)"
to the value of that nested if table
The nested if table would be something like =if(isblank(E2),"E1",if(isblank(E3)... etc for ~50 rows. I know the syntax is incorrect but you get my point.
3. Rerun the query for each value in column E. That would require the connection to happen ~50 times which would not be that great, as well as I would have to copy and paste the data after each run as the tables cannot overlap.
What I am looking for is a way to run this only once, on one sheet, without writing a nested if table with 50 if's.
Pivot Refresh After ODBC Query Complete Refresh
Jan 4, 2008I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)
Call Sub
Jul 18, 2007I am using a user Form in excel VB
I have a bunch of text boxes on another form. What set of text boxes i use depend on what illertation I am on, "counter". I am calling the sub which uses the "Select Case" code to figure out which textbox to use.
When I run it, it reaches the call, goes into the sub, and when it exits the sub it screws up. It says "Type miss match"
Intresting note, if you click play again, it works right away untill it runs another illertation through and gets back to that spot.
In the call function in the code below, all variables have Nothing in them when I put my mouse over them in debug. When I say nothing it actually says like textboxy = Nothing
counter has 1 to start.
Here is my code
Call subcase(textboxy, textboxM, textboxMa, textboxw, textboxd, checkboxx, counter)
and here is the sub! thanks again!
Sub subcase(textboxy, textboxM, textboxMa, textboxw, textboxd, checkboxx, counter)
Select Case counter
Case 1
Set textboxy = frmNewItemMore.txtYear1
Set textboxM = frmNewItemMore.txtMonth1
Set textboxw = frmNewItemMore.txtweek1
Set textboxd = frmNewItemMore.txtDay1
Set textboxMa = frmNewItemMore.txtPM1
Set checkboxx = frmNewItemMore.chk1

How To Call Sub With Arguments
Sep 30, 2013I've heard of calling a sub with arguments but don't believe I'd done it in the past. I want to remove the empty rows in 3 worksheets so that my row count actually stops where the existing data does. The second sub is where that takes place.
