I have an excel sheet with a 'Home' and 'Data' page. I have imported data from an access query into the 'Data' page where I then push a button on the 'Home' page to run a macro on it. I have multiple queries in my database that I would like to be able to switch between in excel to run the macro on. Is this do-able without having to have multiple sheets?
View 1 RepliesSo I have an excel workbook that is connected to an Access database I use. When the workbook opens, it refreshes the data from a couple queries in Access. However, every time it refreshes the data, it modifies several named ranges pulling from areas of those tables.
Example: $A$2:$A$50000 becomes $A$2:$A$50002 if there are two new lines entered into the table.
Because of this, some of the lookups and arrays I use are mismatching and giving errors. How to prevent the ranges from updating when the table refreshes?
I'm trying to create a sheet in Excel 2007 that organises shipments, the file is normally pretty large so I want to create a macro which does a few things, so when printed it's easier to work with. First one is to make a gap when items change in Column B and Column F, I can use the below code to make the gaps for one column but not both without making a separate macro. Is there a way to make the gaps on changes in columns B & F on one macro? (I have an example nearer the end)
Dim Rng As Range
Dim x As Long
Set Rng = Range("F12:F" & Range("F65536").End(xlUp).Row)
For x = Rng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
If Rng.Cells(x, 1).Offset(-1, 0).Value Rng.Cells(x, 1).Value Then
Rng.Cells(x, 1).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=x1Down
Rng.Cells(x, 1).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=x1Down
End If
Next x
After the data is separated I wanted to insert totals of the weights when there is a spacing, and a counter which stops after each spacing and restarts when the next items start.
Here is an example of the data I have before the Macro with Columns.
Column B
Column C
Column F
Column I
Destination of order
booking ref
Size
weight of orders
[Code] ........
This is how I would like the date to look like after the macro.
Column B
Column C
Column F
Column I
Count
Destination of order
booking ref
Size
weight of orders

We have a spreadsheet on a server location with macros. Different users will access the spreadsheet from one pc on different shifts. Is there a way to set the area as a Trust Location for all users on the PC or enable the macros in the spreadsheet to execute for all users without having to set up the spreadsheet trust location or macros for each user? I would like to have the spreadsheet accessable to any user on the PC without setting up individual access. The users can change for shift to shift.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have multiple worksheets spread across multiple Excel files (1 worksheet per file).
All files are stored in the same folder, and all worksheets have the same column headers and structure. I need a block of code that will combine all of these worksheets into a single worksheet in a master Excel file. That is, the code needs to:
1. Open the first Excel file.
2. Copy the first worksheet's contents into the first worksheet of the master file, beginning at the next empty row it finds.
3. Close the Excel file, and move on to the next file.
4. Repeat.
So in the end, ten worksheets residing on ten different Excel files will be combined into a single worksheet in a single file. No breaks are needed between them, instead, the last row of a worksheet would be followed by the first row of the next one immediately below it. No aggregate functions involved, no sums, nothing like that (which is why I don't think I can use the Consolidate function in Excel).
My question is about webqueries... specifically how to set up a query that will automatically fetch data on different pages (same data, but includes page 2, page 3, page 4, etc )
I've just figured out how to import a "new web query," but it seems like I won't be able to import 63 pages of it unless I do all of them by hand.
I'm new to macro and have tried copy from others who have posted before but it don't seem to lead to anywhere.
I'm trying to automated a column of web query (sheet1,column A), a batch of listing site with no tables. with the results in sheet2.
Looping part as well. Also, is it possible to just extract <title> from the page source.
Here's what I have so far.
PHP Code:Â
Sub Macro1()

'Â Macro1Â Macro

    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "URL;" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2") _
        , Destination:=Range("B2"))

Tried changing the destination from
Destination:=Range("B2")) to Destination:=Range("Sheet2!$A$2"))
But keep getting error to change destination.
In short I have a yahoo query that loop through about fifty or so stock symbols. The query data is in column A to G starting with: Date, open,high,low ,close Adj. Now I have my Destination set up like so “Destination:= Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(3))” for 3 row space between is retrieval
The problem is my: xlAscending
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A65536"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Ascending only convert the first query to Ascending the rest of the data remains Descending, how do I get all my query data to convert to Ascending using Date.
I can set up one query to take the parameters from say cell E1 and F1 and post the results of the query in cell A1.
The next query I want to take parameters from say cell E20 and F20 and post results in cell A20.
I need to run this several hundred times and am limited by the webite URL to 2 parameters.
I can't work out how to automaticaly change the URL via a macro so it adapts it with the changing parameters in my worksheet.
I am running 1,200 queries in succession in excel through a loop (visual basic). The problem is that, somewhere around loop 60, my computer grinds to a halt. I tried putting in a pause function and throwing in an autosave, to no avail. I think it has something to do with the memory, and somehow clearing it. Excel must be holding onto results from prior queries, and just runs out of memory after 60 or so.
View 4 Replies View RelatedLets say I have some web addresses in column A (Sheet1) and I want retrieve data from all those sites to another worksheet (Sheet2). Data from 1st site should be put to Sheet2!A1, from 2nd site to Sheet2!A51, from 3rd site to Sheet2!A101 etc.
There are some similarities with this thread: Dynamic Web Query From Cell Values, but I don't want the data to be on separate sheets and as my programming skills in Excel are rather limited, I failed to modify the solution given in there.
I have sql queries in spreadsheet column and which needs to run against Db2 database daily and then update the result back to spreadsheet. This is tedious process and could there be a way to create a a macro using VB which performs the following?
1. connect to db2 database
2. take the sql query one at a time from every row and then run against database
3. Obtain the result and then update it back to last column of the spreadsheet.
Is there a really good tutorial for laying out multiple database queries in excel? Or even just for automating reports between Excel and Access? Here is my situation: Monthly, Quarterly & Annually I report on performance standards such as: duration, best practices, cost-benefit analysis, etc. The information is pretty standard and is pulled from Excel Reports. Access is used to filter this information by appropriate month, quarter, year, and/or data type. In access I calculate the performance averages, max and min. Then this is in linked back to Excel to update the charts and summaries. My concern is how much time I spend rebuilding this system every month (about 4 business days)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am importing a text file that has a lot more than 256 columns. The data will be updated weekly with a different text file. I know how to get past the 256 column limit when importing a text file like this. This link explains the method I am using to import the text file. [url] Since I am importing onto several sheets I get the dialogue box asking me to choose a file to import from for every sheet when I use RefreshAll. The same file that is used by the first sheet will be used by the rest of the sheets. Each sheet just imports a different section of columns from the text file. I want to avoid choosing the same file 30 plus times (once for each sheet) when I click refresh all. Is there a code that would allow me to choose the file for the first sheet, and the other sheets would follow suite?

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 have some documents created in Excel that I use; I am wanting to make things easier so I don't have to keep typing customers details into the delivery notes and invoices as I go.
What I have done so far is create an access database with a customer table (this contains company name & address) also a table for contact (this contains contact details for various people at the companies).
I have used the import data feature to get a full list of customers address and contact details on the spreadsheet. I have another sheet that I have created a combobox that I can type a company name in and it will find a match from my list.
Now the bit I am struggling with is that I also need a combobox for the contact; I don't want the combobox to have all my contacts in, just the one that releate to the company I have chosen in combobox 1.
I have an excel file which is shared by multiple users. I would like to make one person to have read,write or edit permissions and rest of the users to have only read only permissions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to access another program via Excel VBA. The idea is that, we fill out out time and attendance sheets for work on excel workbooks. But, we have to go into a terminal program to enter this information so it can be uploaded to whereever it goes.
I am able to get the Shell command to work. But, it will be riddled with sendkeys commands and application.wait. I am sure that this is not the best way to program something like this. I believe I read that for this to work that it has to be COM compliant. I don't know. The program is a Java based terminal program.
This works for me
Code:
ShellExecute 1, "Open", "C:UsersPublic******lib***_core.jar"
But this does not
Code:
CreateObject "C:UsersPublic******lib***_core.jar"
It gives me a Run-time error 429, ActiveX component can't create object.
I'm running an Excel program such that the user inputs a variable. The program opens an Access database which is linked to the Excel sheet where the variable is stored. Access then runs macros containing queries based on that variable. I've noticed that the link to Excel is slowing performance and I'd like to speed things up, some code that would allow me to plug the variable into Access for use in the query without having to link to the Excel workbook.
This is a piece of the code I use in Excel which runs the Access macro:
Code:
For iter = 1 To bottom_row - 1
If IsEmpty(MyMacro(iter)) = False Then
Set AccessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
With AccessApp
[Code].....
Everything works well as-is; it's just slower than I'd like. Due to other constraints I'd rather not go into here, I really am forced to use this kind of Excel/Access interaction. In other words, the user must use Excel to run an Access query.
I am trying to import database records into Excel, but i keep getting an error "run-time error 424" on the code below.

I have an acess database where I export the data into a blank excel workbook and then copy and paste the data into a report file. My goal is to automate this process and my first thought was to add a button into the access database and have it export to an excel template, but using/editing the access database is not an option, so, that leaves me thinking about automating this process from excel. Is it possible to export data from an access database into cell A1 of a tab?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have created one Info path solution to gather information from different locations to one hidden Access database. And in last month or two I already have more than 30 000 entries in database. On other side I have created 2 excel workbooks, one for purpose of report that has all connection done through VBA, user just opens it, clicks button and gets report and one workbook that is for other set of users so they can change 2 specific columns of data, everything else is locked. When one department fills value it should fill based on gathered information, and clicks save that cell or cells are being locked.
At first I did on worksheet change event, when user changes a cell (enters information) it triggers worksheet_change event and saves that value in database and colours cell green. But, then users start complaining that when they use copy paste or the use fill paste option (just pull value from one cell to others) it does not save value. Ok ... that is because worksheet_change event does not trigger in situation when copy paste in any form occurs.
So how to solve it ... when pulling data in excel I pull identical table (data) in other hidden worksheet. When they change what they need to change, they click button "save to database" i have created and there is a macro that makes other sheet visible, goes through the records and saves where cell value in table that is being entered is different then same cell in hidden table.
Problem is that sometimes my code works without a problem and sometimes they get an error. I cannot figure out when. When a lot of users use that excel file, for some users it is a read only file, and as I presume that is ok, because macro works in any case and data are stores in database so excel file itself does not have to be saved.
Here is code.
