I am seeking assistance in creating a 'database' type function within EXCEL workbook. I need to create a record of all job applications within our area and only a handful of staff have access let alone know how to use access. All are able to use spreadsheet/workbooks. Would like to be able to have entry page (i can do this fine) but I would like a search funtion that will allow staff to be able to track the progress of applications and add comments etc
I am very new with Excel and VBA, what i need to do is: develop an initial log in to open an excel workbook... and then open the workbook if username and password
1. ask for user name (field should be 50 characters)
2. Ask for a password (password alphanumeric with special characters field 25 characters)
3.Validate user to a salesman data base if log in attempt fails after 3 attempts, purge buffer, clear log in screen and lock keyboard for 60 seconds)
I have done the whole excel application all i need is this thing to pop up when double click in my direct access to it..
Also save document with the invoice number that in in a cell
and How can I make a cell auto increase the invoice number every time open workbook?
I am trying to create a 'Database' of Project Managers where by a skill can be entered into a cell and the VLookup will lookup the Project Manager that has this skill. There is the posibility that there will be more than one Project Manager with the same skill, formula so that the Lookup can return multiple values
I am trying to create a cross-reference database in excel. I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology, so here is what I need to do:
I have three columns that contain text cells, each with different numbers of rows. Now imagine that cell A1 is related to cell B3 and also to cell C5. There are numerous different combinations similar to this. Is there a way to show this relationship between cells in excel. If so, how?
1. I have one sheet with all the information about my customers, such as customer name, address, mobile number and email. I have also added customer reference no...... this could act like a primary key in databases...... This is SHEET 1.
2. my other sheet, lets call it SHEET 2.... is basically a template of my quotation where at the top I need to enter the customer details such as customer name, address, mobile number and email.. Sometimes I have returning customers and I need to enter their details again and again.... it is time consuming.
Initially I would like to enter all my customers detail into SHEET 1.
When I have to create a quotation in SHEET 2, I would like to enter a customer reference number and it should bring all the data from SHEET 1 about that customer and place it into SHEET 2 (quotation template)...
I already transfer my data from database (excel.xlsm) to an old worksheet (excel.xlsx) with a table by using VBA. Now I want to make this old worksheet become a new file with new file name like yyyy/mm/dd/where. Is that possible?
I've been looking around to find a solution for my problem and as a last resort I have decided to make a post, and I will get straight to the point. I have 3 xl Files of relevance:
1 - is my "database" which consists of multiple sheets with different information in each. Each sheet is correlated with each other by one common ID. 2 - is my "template" which is 2 sheets, which functions as a report. The template serves as the Report which will be printed. The data from each row from the database can fill the spaces in the template.
3 - "the tool" xl file is where i have my macros and the mapping for the which columns from the database belong to which cells in the template.
Basically what I'm trying to get to work is: User opens Tool clicks "create Reports" and the tool should then open the database, pick the range of rows from the database put the data into the relevant cell in the template save the "template" with the info on it, close it and do it again with each row of data from the database. So if I pick rows 4 to 34 in my tool, it should create 30 xls files from the template and fill in the data from each row into each newly generated "report".
I have a template for information that needs uploaded into a database via CSV. This database is then access via a HTML front end. As part of this there is a 'folder structure' with in the front end. This is displayed in a database table (See attached excel file for example data structure)
Currently I have this feeding into a drop down list which is somewhat cumbersome so want to make it more efficient and easier to use. I had toyed with the idea of adding more columns into the excel template and split the string up to populate however this isnt exactly professional looking.
My current thinking is, is there a way of putting this data into a listbox which is easy to navigate? Ideally in a folder tree navigation structure, I know this is possible for a windows folder structure
I am trying to create a database that contains data taken from several work books that i have saved in one folder on my hard drive. These workbooks contain quite a lot ** data, but i only want to extract the data i want to instead ** having to extract it all? these works books are used by several other people as well, so i want it to be able to update as data changes.
I was thinking about using data links, but that only seems to extract all the data instead ** just what i want?
I am trying to create a shared database that tracks training for about 100 people. I've built a workable sheet, but the only way I have to share it over e-mail (there is no office NAS set up, and we're on a military base so we can't establish wifi).
Is there a way to set up a workbook that can be updated on one computer and instantly reflect that information in the cloud?
My goal is to have each team responsible for updating their own form and then have that information update my master tracker.
Its really hard to explain. See the attached.. Basically I have kind of a database of Letters and each letter has several codes associated with it, although each letter is different (a few are the same but that's irrelevant), e.g. letter E means you need to use codes 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, and 3.10. That information is stored elsewhere. I simply want a user to be able to put that letter into this box and next to it these codes will populate.
I have an assignment for work where I am required to create a button within an excel sheet that will submit any text in a cell which in this case would be "A9" to a database to a certain field. I must create this using visual basic.
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.
I need to have a end user form that pulls information from a database and simplifies work for our substitue coordinator. Please be advised I have been working on this and can not get the desired results. I need a form that displays the current date and 5 columns of data the Data needs to be in seperate cells for example cell A1 titled TEACHERS and then the sub coordinator could start typing the name of the teacher in a2 and a predefined database of teachers name, class they teach, etc. MATH, ENGLISH and planning period would be pooled and automaticly fill the cell.
I also would need a second cell say cell B to be call Substitutes and b2- b100 to pull data from a database of substitute names and display their information.
In column A of a database I've calculated workdays for all year (excluding weekends and public holidays).
Every day, I update the numerical data of the database, with the facts of previous day.
In another sheet I've made some monthly, quarterly etc., reports for that data.
What I want, is to have:
1) a report every day, with the sum of specific data (say that in column D), for a period starting the first workday of current month and ending the previous workday of today.
I want to accomplish something like this but slightly different:
[url]
I have the same issue but a bit more complex. In my case I have an additional amount of columns (let's say dimensions). So for the example given (sales per month) I would add two columns for 4 different regions and 5 machine types (just examples).
The output (that would serve as pivot tabel input) would then have to be a 4 x 5 x 12 x 4 = 960 row database table.
I have tried to accomplish it by customizing the given code but that provedto be beyond my powers ;o)
and some 3rd party software [url]and [url] but non of them is doing what I'm looking for.
The code I'm looking for ideally would count the number of columns and unique records per column and construct the database table from that. So I am looking for flexibility in the number of dimensions also...
Im copying and pasting data from one workbook to another but when I want to close the source workbook, it comes up with this message that I have much data and if I want to keep this in a clipboard. I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?
Public path As String Sub Get_data() path = "\Nlchoosa.nlOPS_Processes$OPS_ProcessesReports Sector performance" Workbooks.Open Filename:=path & "ReportsSector Performance Reporting week.xls" Range("A1").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.copy Windows("Sector Performance report Week.xls").Activate ActiveSheet.Paste Application.DisplayClipboardWindow = False Windows("Sector Performance Reporting week.xls").Activate Application.DisplayAlerts = False End Sub
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'm trying to lookup a database named database and return a time in column A, based on criteria in cells a1 and b1 on another sheet, A1 would contain a number and B1 would contain a day from mon-fri
eg of Database A B C D E F G 10:00 5000 Mon Tues
11:00 5000 Wed Thur Fri
and so on
if a1= 5000 & b1=Wed how can I return 11:00
I have tried index and match =index(a:a,match(a1&b1,b:b&e:e,0))
The following all is set to occur in Excel VBA (i.e. why it's not in Access forum)
I know of a way to create a database using a new ADOX catalog, BUT as there is a dedicated "CREATE DATABASE db_Name" SQL statement., I was wondering how you can execute a SQL statement (as you would to create a table) when there is no file to which you can connect yet.
I have searched for some manner of execute statement in ADOX, but all I can find is Create in the ADOX library.
I tried to connect to the prospective save folder location, but the error prompt indicates that the location is in use or it cannot be accessed.
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.
I want to make a macro where it will use the current filename of the workbook I have open (where is says New Quote Sheet 2.xls below) Is there something I can put where it will use the current filename when the filename is changed?
New Quote Sheet is a read-only template, and when a new quote is started, it is renamed.
With the help of Professional Excel Developement by Bullen Bovey and Green, I am building a Dictator Application. All-in-all, it is coming very well, EXCEPT that I can't seem to get the IgnoreRemoteRequests setting to get written to the registry properly on ShutDown.
On Open, I change this setting to True. In the BeforeClose event, I reset it to False, along with all of the Settings that I hosed on Open. All of the other settings get properly saved on exit, however, the IgnoreRemoteRequests is still set to True the next time Excel gets re-opened.
I've probably spent the last 4 hours reading posts from a bunch of different boards as well as this one, and I can't seem to pinpoint my problem. I'm trying to access data from a closed workbook via the following:
I need a code to open a new Excel Application (Not just a workbook).
eg: say I already have book1.xls opened. Now I want a new excel application (say book2.xls) to be opened. Now, when I close any of the books (by using the cross on top right corner), the other shouldn't be closed.
done some VBScript spreadsheet reporting involving basically inserting data and some formatting.
I need some advice on what approach to take with Excel on my current project. The basic goal is to scrape project requirements off a word doc and load them into Quality Center (a test management tool from HP, henceforth referred to as QC). I have an hta/vbs process that offers the user choices gleaned from the QC API, scrapes the word doc, and creates a spreadsheet with a row for each requirement and a column for each property a "requirement" has in QC. These values are a combination of data from the word doc and values selected by the user in the preceeding hta interface.
The reason for this Excel step in the process is that all the values chosen up to this point are generic for the entire project. But there are a few properties that will be requirement specific. So all the info is collected in Excel and the user is to then go through each row and choose the "target cycle" (which I pulled off QC earlier in the process and display in Excel as a dropdown list). The "Platform Folder" and the "Module Folder".
Ok, so with that backround, here is my quandry... In the hta interface the user selected all the "Platform Folders" the project will have requirements in. These are then presented in a dropdown in the Excel, so the user can choose which of these Platform Folders this specific requirement should be loaded into. What I need to do is then have the "Module Folders" to be a dropdown that is dependant on the "Platform folder" chosen.
This is difficult enough for me, creating a dynamic dependant dropdown that will be replicated on each row. I don't know exactly how to do this but feel I can probably figure it out with all the help offered on these MVP sites.
What I can't figure out is where to do this. Should I set up the lists, formulas, and control code dynamically? Can these dependant list derive their values from comma delimited lists (like I did the non-dependent lists) or must they be in a worksheet? The only way I see to make the dependent dropdown work correctly is to have it run off a worksheet event. Can worksheet event code be applied dynamically or do I need to have a "template" type workbook containing the code in the application's folder and use that instead of creating a new workbook at exe time? I still have to write the upload into QC code, and that will probably be a macro that the user will have to install into their personal.xls. Can the dependent dropdown code be installed in the same way even though it needs to be event driven? Another aspect is getting the data for the dropdown. I can either get the lists earlier in the process when I already have a connection to QC and pass it along, or I can connect to QC from Excel and get the values dynamically. I am assuming passing them in will be more efficient.
