Building A Dynamic Database
May 23, 2006
I have a workbook with 3 worksheets titled “Numbers”, “Letter” and “NumLtr DB”.
The “Numbers” worksheet is a dynamic listing of numbers in Column A, which also is a Dynamic Named Range using the formula: OFFSET(' Num'!$A$1,0,0, COUNTA('Num'!$A:$A),1)
The “Letters” worksheet is a dynamic listing of letters in Column A which also is a Dynamic Named Range using the formula: OFFSET('Ltr'!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA('Ltr'!$A:$A),1)
I need a macro to duplicate in column A, on the worksheet titled “NumLtr DB”, the first number down as many rows as are needed to equal the full count of letters, and then, in column B, list each letter in succession. This process needs to be repeated once for succeeding each number and then stop.

We have a number of dogs and information about their sire (male parent), dame (female parent) - and those dogs parents.
In essence something like this:
DOG1: DOGDAD, DOGMOM, DOGDAD's DAD, DOGDAD's MOM, DOGMOM's DAD, DOGMOM's MOM
So...I'm thinking 7 fields for each dog.
I started out with an Excel s/ sheet that looked like this:
Dog Sire Dame SireD SireM DameD DameM
DOG1 DOG2 DOG3 DOG4 DOG5 DOG6 DOG7
DOG8 DOG9 DOG10 DOG11 DOG12 DOG13 DOG14
DOG2 DOG15 DOG16 DOG17 DOG18 DOG19 DOG14
Now here comes the issue....what we are trying to do is to find and exclude any dog (in the first 'Dog' column that share ANY grandparent (SireD, SireM, DameD or DameM) with any other dog from the first column.
(As an example above - DOG8 and DOG2 share the same grandparent (DOG14) and needs to be excluded from the final list).

By adapting a worksheet macro obtained previously via Ozgrid, I built a workbook that dynamically produces a database, in a worksheet titled “NumLtrWBS DB”, based on all possible combinations of what is listed in column A of three 3 worksheets titled: “ Num”, “Ltr” and “WBS, respectively. The macro, named “NumLtrWBS", works wonderfully, until I add a row at the top of each list to contain a column header. The unchanged macro includes the column headers in the “produced” database. When I change the macro by altering the variable definitions to begin at A2 rather than A1, it still includes the column headers in the “produced” database. How should I change the macro so it doesn’t “produce” the column headers in the database worksheet?

I am currently pulling information from a database into Excel. In column A is a list of dates that vary depending on how many days I decide to pull. On any given day there are options to which car will be driven and it is random and there are attributes associated with that drive such as below. If the car was not driven the data pull inputs "No Data" or a "0". On any given day up to three cars can be driven but it is still possible that only one will be driven. This is shown in the second table below. I'd like to be able to create an automated summary table such as the first table below. The summary table should be organized by date and show what cars were driven and their attributes. I know this seems simple but in reality I have six different cars and up to 10 attributes for each car and will be pulling months at a time. The only thought I have had is to do a for loop that checks every individual cell but I am not sure how to implement that.
Car
Miles
MPG
Car
Miles
MPG
Car
Miles

I am currently trying to create a database of products for my company. For each product I would like to include an image associated with it. I then want to have on another sheet a place where the user will click an error and be able to cycle through the products. As tehy cycle the associated image will pop up.
What I need to understand is after importing the image into excel, how do I associate that image to a cell so I can reference it in another sheet of the database. I am not concerned with how large the database will get, my pictures are quite small.

I am building a chart from a pivot table and the data changes weekly therefore my chart changes weekly and I want to have the same colors on my graphs from week to week. I created this code to keep everything the same. Problem is when some of the data is not there for a given week (say no calls from a certain city) a corresponding data set doesn’t get created and the macro won’t work. Is there a way to run if the a data set is not available and to keep the colors the same?
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Select
With Selection.Border
.Weight = xlThin
.LineStyle = xlAutomatic
End With..............

I need to update a Variable I called "Croy70" by making up its name from two cells
Left(Range("L" & i), 4) & Right(Range("J" & i), 2)) = i
Where i=2 and L2 is "Croydon" and J2 is "ABC70"
I apologise for this simple question, but I appear to have left my brain at home this morning and all the VBA help files are missing from the computer I'm using!

I can start building.
1. User will first input Medication type in first column. Second Column - Dosage Third Column - Start Date, Fourth Column - End date
There will be multiple entries for the same medication because of dosage change. I can simply get them to insert a new row underneath each medication, and they can then input new dosage, new start/end dates
There will be a cell entry for the form start date, as it will be populated on the main page.
The solution I believe will involve an if statement, with argument being if date is still within range of start/end date, that it will generate text on particular date.

I've used a countifs, but I'm having trouble doing a sum in a similar way. I have 2 databases and I will try to explain below. I need the to sum the values of database 1 if the second database is >= 20. So the value I would expect on this example would be 900. I would also like to be able to highlight which ones are elliminated. Such as coloring the text red.
Database 1
Eric 100
Jenny 200
Gina 300
Doug 400
Database 2
Eric 18
Jenny 20
Gina 34

I have Sheet 1 with a series of 10 lists. Sheet 2 will display the information on Sheet 1 based on the day. For example, the user will input a start date. Excel should display item 1 in lists 1-10 on day 1 in the respective column. Then item 2 in lists 1-10 on day 2, etc. When it reaches the end of a list it should start at the beginning. Day 1 shold be the start date. Day 2 shold be the next day, etc. I have lists 1-10 all ready to go, but I am having trouble figuring out how to go about populating the other columns.

I want to build a cash register from excel.
I want to put many buttons, but lets say one on A1 that says $2 dollar item and name and lets say this $2 doillar item button is pushed(clicked on), it will add $2 to lets say the total say A15.
Now I can't even get a Macro to add $2 dollars to A15(or any macros to run at all, anybody have code I can copy, what I understand is you create macro name(give it letter, so yo can press letter and Ctrl to start) then start recording, then you do key strokes or mouse? Then press stop recording and you have macro?).
To get buttons to be viewed I have to go to Tools - Macros - script editor, and drag and drop(button on coding) or double click on button tool bar then File - View in Browser - . I get button but can't get it to do anything.
How do you put say A1 in code to A1=A1+5 or make a memory location out of A1. Now you can go to(while A1 is selected cell) "Insert" then "Name" then "Define" and give A1 a "Name". I can't get this name to work in coding(but I can get the name to work in cells like "Name" +5, will add cell 1 and 5, if you do it in different cell than A1).

I am new to pivot tables and charts and to build.... I heard that the best is to use pivot tables but no clue how to do it I have tried but no luck....
How can I see the following information in chart?
-Non con close out time by person- so who is failing to close out on time in this case is completion date
-Frequency of reports by area/ shift
-Number of reports by month, split into critical/major/minor
-Main reasons for reports so trend of type of record

I want to build a file(name) list of all files in a directory including the ones in all underlying subfolders on any level.
E.g. make at total list of all possible files (not folder-names) in the given directory.
I have a clue, but I just manage to list the files in the first subfolder level - not proceed "deeper" in the folder tree.

I am trying to create a Macro/VB code that will build 4 lists based on a list (see attached example).
I have a list of applications and the numbers of users having them installed on their computers, these applications are marked using a RAG status (Red, Amber, Green & NBR No Business Requirement) on a seperate work sheet i want to split them by these RAG statuses, the status of applications changes as they are packaged for SCCM, so the RAG status will be changed, so i want the code to be able to rebuild the lists at any time to obtain an accurate view of the numbers at each status.

I'm trying to figure out how best to build a table to do:
IF A1="yes", "no", "na" and
IF B1="yes", "no","na" and
IF C1="yes","no","na" then
"AT" or "IC" or "VE"
So, I need a table that can look up responses to three questions, then lookup the corresponding answer (AT, IC or VE). Some of the combinations of anwers will yield the same anwer (i.e: yes, yes, yes=AT and yes,yes,no=also AT). I'm trying to come up with the most probable answer by evaluating these three questions; Thus; 10 combinations will yield an answer of "AT", 10 combo will yield "IC" and 7 combo will yield "VE". I've done this with 2 variables, but can't seem to get it to work with three...

I have data showing when staff arrive at, enter after clearing security and then exit a building after completing their task. The data for each cell is a combined date and time as opposed to separate cells for date and time.
I am trying to ascertain how long our security staff take to clear persons waiting to enter the building and also how many people at any one time are actually in the building (after being processed through security).
I also need to ascertain if particular issues arise at certain days of the week (eg Mon morning) and so need to add a further column which shows the day of week using the date/time data.
A sample of the data is as follows;
Staff No:
Arrival time
Processed time
Exit time
1
26/02/2013 07:13
26/02/2013 07:22
26/02/2013 13:52
[Code] ........
I had thought about trying to display the data using a a stacked bar chart but I still need to look at any particular date/time and ascertain how many persons are in the building without manually counting the rows!

I want that Excel writes in a row the a sequence of musical notes corresponding to a certain tonality;
I have in one cell the musical notes, which are validated data that comes from a list and I could pick one from this list:
C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
chosen one of the notes, excel would write down in a row the corresponding chromatic scale for that note. example - choosen A:
A A# B C D D# E F F# G G#
As you see, the scale begins with A, and then when it gets to the end of the list (tone B) it goes back to the beginning (C). In other words, what I want to implement it´s sort of a circular validated data.

I've built a spreadsheet that accurately displays my company's price list. However, from time to time, there are increases and/decreases, by percentages. I would like to know how I can build a formula that would allow me to quickly update the pricesheets by the appropriate percentage, without having to manually do so, one cell at a time.

I'm working on a macro that does the following:
1. Pull data from the internet
2. Perform calculations on the data
3. Graph the calculated values
- As I run the macro, Excel dies in step 3, where I graph the calculated values.
- It works about 5% of the time and gives me the "Excel has stopped working" error 95% of the time - I can't isolate any difference in the attempts
- I've located the area in the macro where it dies, but I can't identify the exact line since it seems to shift around in this area
- It works perfectly fine when I step through using F8
- I've attempted DoEvents and Application.Wait to debug. Application.Wait for 5 seconds allows the macro to work about 50% of the time and increases in efficiency the longer I wait
- Steps 1 and 2 work perfectly fine (I've used that code in many macros), so I'm pretty sure the issue is in the below code:
I'm running Windows 7, Office 2010
Code:
'Chart variables
Sheets("Summary").Select
Dim ChartRange As Range

I'm trying to use Excel to build a text file based on values from certain cells in Excel 2010. This is based partially off of static text that never changes and variables that will need to change. For example, I want Excel to output a text file that has the following text: The red fox jumped over the $X twice. I would want $X to be replaced by the value of A1 of the active worksheet. I will also have several lines like that, so it won't just be a single line, but anywhere from 20 - 120.

I need to set up an automated process to open an existing .xls file, extract the data from specific cells located in that file and insert it into a totally different file that I have preformatted to accept this data.
Example scenario:
If I have "that_file.xls" and it is unopened, but it contains data in cells "A2 thru F2" that I need to extract... then I have "this_file.xls" , which is open, and set up with all my calculation cells and a specific layout (lets say it has cells "D8, E9, F10, G11, H12, and I13"). I want to be able to add a button to "this_file.xls" to run a macro that would open a file search window where I can select "that_file.xls", and then it will automatically extract the data from "that_file.xls" into "this_file.xls" as follows:
A2 to D8
B2 to E9
C2 to F10
D2 to G11
E2 to H12
F2 to I13
