I have Excel 2002 and when I click on "Help" I would like to get the "classic" Microsoft excel Help facility, with tabs for "Search," "Index", and so on. Instead I get a screen with subject headings "What's New,"
"Microsoft Office Website," and "Getting Help". Is there a way to get the classic, old-fashioned
I have upgraded to Excel 2007 and the PivotTable formats are different. I prefer the old 'drag and drop' formatting, and would like to default to that.
I can switch to the classic format by going to Pivot Table Tools ---> Options ---> Display --> Classic Pivot Table Layout, but I have to do this for each table I create. I'd like this to be the defaut choice.
I've searched the board and someone posted that if you add the Pivot Table/Chart icon to your task bar, that will open the old layout --- it opens the wizard, but the table that is created is still in the new format which does not enable drag and drop.
I have four to five screens being displayed. After 10 hours the screens time out and go into password protection mode.
Is there a way to send a refresh to each of these IE windows to keep them from going into password mode.
They are being watch and security in not the problem. The hours spent logging back into four to five screens are getting really old and time consuming.
I also have MS vb express that I can use but would rather use excel.
In this sheet are 2 Splash screens which randomly open on startup. This is the code for them:

I'd like to be able to view them both at the same time, side by side, but for some reason I cant. They both seem to occupy the same window. Every time I goto the task bar and try switching windows they occupy each other's window. Is there a way to view files side by side?

(having said this it will only be ran on one computer that will never be used for anything else while the program is running)
Well - all thats happening is that the Excel workbook is hogging essential system resources - i.e. memory and CPU time and extra continuous CPU load is causing the machine to heat up which switches on the Fan.... be thankful the Fan is working
I didnt do a code walkthrough to see if there was a more efficient way of doing it, but if the machine isnt being used by anthing else, and it is in a well ventilated area (Air Con?) then I wouldnt see this as being a big problem. Just make sure the fan doesnt break down or you might have some sparks.
2, Could this be done in a powerpoint presentation. e.g have an excel spreadsheet on each slide and automatically update the links every x mins. You could then just set the slide show to continuous loop.
Well, possibly yes... the idea is good, but as far as I know you would have to rewrite the code to work in PPT. That is - you cant just drop an excel sheet with code onto a PPT slide and expect it (The Excel code) to work... you would need to code each slide again. I think... Not sure how easy that would be as I know little about PPT.
Have a system that runs 8 monitors on one computer. 4 are very large screens. Creates a lot of heat and uses much power.
Is there a way to dim the screens brightness in VBA. Looked all over and can't find any code.
Not really looking for a screensaver as they can cause interrup problems etc if I have programs running for hours. And I can't just turn off some screens as then desktop icons placements get scrambled.
Just want to dim screens with a macro, then undim it. Don't need to have it linked to the mouse movement, but that might be nice too.
I tried a macro that said "Dim MyScreens" but nothing happened.
I am Generating Excel file with Macro using my asp.net (c#) application.
I am able to generate Excel file in development environment, but in Production it gives following error:
"Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted Line: Microsoft Office Excel"
I did googling a bit and found that I have to open Excel file physically make few security related changes in macro as below.
1. Open the Office application in question. On the Tools menu, click Macro, and then click Security to open the Macro Security dialog box.
2. On the Trusted Sources tab, click to select the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box to turn on access.
3. Click OK to apply the setting. You may need to restart the application for the code to run properly if you automate from a Component Object Model (COM) add-in or template.
Can i do above changes at runtime (using some code)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to compare data on a spreadsheet to data that resides in SQL database. I have never done this before so before I start I wanted to ask a general question, what is the cleanest, simplest, way to go about this. I read that ADO is a good way to access SQL. I understand that ADO is one of the main components of MS universal data access specifications so it sounds like the right approach (and that ADO is replacing DAO).
In terms of application, all I want to do for now is pull data from SQL and write it to a worksheet in the Excel workbook. Other macro's will then operate on this data. Later I will want to write data back to SQL but I want to focus on the "get" part first. Are the statements SELECT; INSERT; UPDATE; DELETE examples of ADO coding?
Conceptually, the SQL team provide nightly tables of data; ADO retrieves some of that data by selecting it; The selected data is written to a worksheet within the workbook. Is this a good approach?
I want to create a log of everyone who opens a particular workbook. I'm using Excel 2003. I found this macro, and created a worksheet called "Log", but I've opened the workbook several times and nothing appears on the Log sheet.

State - ype - County/City - Invoice # - Ref # - Amount
UT - Tax Billed - Salt Lake - 073714 - 238025 - $10.82
UT - Taxable Sales - Utah - 073714 - 238025 - $983.75

UT - Tax billed - Utah - 073714 - 238025 - 46.73
For sales tax reporting we need to know the state, city, county district
amounts. This would be simple if we could just sort by county/city, however
we cannot because the state tax piece only only shows the word "UTAH" it does
not give a city or county name. So we must sort by invoice #. This would be
ok if we only had a few invoices in each city such as Salt Lake but we have
have 40 or 50 invoice numbers in salt lake.
I need to find a way to keep all of the tax pieces that belong together, and
subtotal by city/county. I thought if I had a formula that could change the
state name "UTAH" to reflect the city for that invoice. This is the case for
all states. Each state is 10,000 or more lines. I need to somehow grouping
the information I need. I used the pivot table approach. However, since I
must sort by invoice I still have 10,000 lines. I want to sort by invoice to
get all the pieces then sort by county city. Any ideas of how I can do this?
something in Access perhaps? a formual in excel perhaps?
i have an access database and is using excel to get the required data from the access database. I am basing on department to filter out the required data into excel. Below is the VBA code i use
deptClause = Worksheets("Records").range("C1").Value
If Not deptClause = "All" Or deptClause = "" Then
requestClause = " WHERE Department='" & deptClause & "'"
End If
Queryline = "Select * from FailureQuery" & requestClause
the problem is i got one selection "All" in worksheet "Records" in cell "C1" and i cannot get this function to display all the data from the access. however when i choose a particular department it will show fine.
There are many examples and aspects to compare these 2 products but I just want to point one little difference which is quite crucial and interesting.
Generally if you use small amount of data - 1 Worksheet / 5000 rows / 20 columns you can use Excel without bothering about the execution time, queries and work fast and convenient with it.
The point on Excel is that in 1 Column/Row you can differently Format the data(cells). For example - format as Number or Hour the cells in Column B depending on the data in other columns. That saves you from making 2 Columns - one for Numbers and another one for Hours. This helps you to save 1 of the columns when the data structure in other column is the same.
In Access (and generally all SQL DBs) this is not possible.
I am trying to convert An Access macro/function programs to Excel and I am having trouble processing the following in Excel:
Set rsbuildinforce = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(InfTable)
(InfTable) is defined as an Access linked table name. The values of columns in rsbuildinforce drive the logic of the macro/function
The object of the program is to read in data from excel, do some manipulations, reformatting, etc... and output .csv files.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I have developed into an over the top flight calculator/scheduling tool. I am using Excel because developing this prduct into a stand-alone program would be absolutely murder to get approved for use on my network.
Since Excel and Access has already been approved, I began coding this project there.
Now that my calculator functions are nearly complete, I am beginning to develop a database of airfields and other misc. flight data that I and others on my network can see and manipulate. To make my calculator funtion at 100% effectiveness, I will need to use VBA to open the Access DB and pull out specific data. I will also need it to open and display some Access pop-up forms that I have just developed. Does anyone know what code I would use for excel to display and retrieve Access' information?
I was wondering if there was any code that would 'lookup' a value in a MS Access database in the same way that a Vlookup formula looks up values in tables in Excel.
Even better, if there was a fuction already written to do this.
to write a macro to export 3 columns of information from excel into a table in access.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying help protect a project from all my colleagues that have a version of password breaker that is actually an add-in. I have already managed to disable or grey-out all of the other commandbar options that I don't want them to have access to during their use of the model but can't figure out how to disallow them from accessing the "Add-ins" option from the "Tools" menu. I can, of course, disable the entire tools menu but don't want to do that yet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would really like to be able to have a function in a workbook that can run methods (for example Show or Hide) on a UserForm inside an add-in like this:
Public Sub Test_Addin()

where frmTest is a UserForm inside the addin. After the add-in has been added as a reference, I am able to access all of its functions/subs in this way. When I try to access a form inside the add-in from outside the add-in, I simply get an object not defined error. Looking more closely, if I type in "eRFTEAddIn."
