Creating Master Database With Linked Columns?
Jul 1, 2013
I am working on creating a medical master database. I have a master sheet with a huge number of columns. I have a couple of guys working with me, and they have their own sheets in the workbook.
So here is what I would like to do: anytime one of the guys enters data into his respective worksheet, I want the data to be copied over to the master sheet in a new entry.
The columns among the worksheets are different, and I would like the data to automatically sort in the appropriate column on the master sheet when it is copied.
I have attached a copy of the workbook.
I have included an example of what I would like to see. For example, if Charles puts in an entry in his worksheet, a new entry is created on the master sheet with the information from Charles' sheet sorted in the appropriate columns.

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 have created a 'price list' database in ACCESS. Then in EXCEL I created a pivot table which retrieves data from one of the database queries (the query was saved as a .dqy file).
I emailed the file containing the pivot table to a colleague who is on the same server. He saved the excel file on he desktop & renamed it. When I update the databse file on a shared public drive on the server, he is able to 'refresh' his desktop file successfully !!

I need multiple users, each with their own Workbook to utilise data from a central database I made in Excel. I therefore need to put the central Excel database online and link to it. However, two issues so far:
1) I don't have an online domain or server to put it, nor the possibilities to get one quickly
2) Putting the central database into SkyDrive/OneDrive haven't been working so far, as the links are always local and not addressed on the OneDrive server domain.
Therefore my question:
Is there any way I can use the cloud power of OneDrive to host a (fairly simple) database without my computer being turned on and running the workbook?

i have a excel file which has a formatted pivot table which displays customers by country in row A 2 down to 36 with approx 36 customers in the values field i have volumes by alarms and tickets along the column labels it shows the previous 7 days with date and then the alarms and tickets in each row. My problem is i am trying to find the code or location where i can change the only bring back 7 days data to another value. i have searched all connection properties and definitions. I know there is a value somewhere that allows you to change this number to say from 7 days to 30 days. If you click on the column labels for date it shows the dates back 3+ years but it still if i tick more than 7 days only show 7 in the table.I have image if needed

Bar those who don't believe/celebrate in Christmas, Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations.
I have two sets of data, lets call them 2013 and 2014. I have a Spreadsheet already set up in excel, but currently I just past this information into a tab in excel (which isn't ideal at all), and given the data is growing, is slowing down my excel spreadsheet a lot.
I have some experience with Access, SQL and queries.
What I have done thus far is to link my Access DB with Excel, run a query and paste the resulting table from the query into excel all using VBA (easy peasy).
The problem i have is that the table is still linked, and i do not want or need it to be linked. I know that there is a "Unlink" Option, which is not what i need, and also a "Convert to Range" option which is also not what i need, but closer. This got me thinking, is it possible to import the data into an array (all in VBA in excel from the query in the SQL) and then i can paste that information into my Excel spreadsheet, or is there a better method?

I'm working on a project that has a master workbook and multiple files that link to the master. The master workbook calculates values based off of a ton of information: account info, pricing info, quantity info, etc. It is a pretty massive excel file, but that is not where the problem arises.
The files that I am trying to link contain relevant information for specific accounts, including prices. The cells that contain product prices are linked to the master workbook. Example: Destination file, lets call this "Company A", Source file, lets call this "Master". In Company A's spreadsheet there is a column that contains pricing specific to that company. This pricing comes from the Master. Most of the pricing is in column C. What I have been doing is copying the relevant cell in the master and "Past Special, Paste Link" in Company A. I do this for every product in Company A's worksheet.
The goal of this is to automate pricing, so that when there are price changes or account changes, one would only have to update the master and all the separate account worksheets would populate with the correct prices. The method I've been using was working perfectly, until I had to edit the master file. I had to insert and delete a few rows from the master file. I work in excel quite often and link cells alot, so I figured that the linked cells would update to the new format, but they aren't. Ex. If a cell in Company A's worksheet is referencing F46 in the master and I delete row 44, I would like the cell to now reference F45, because that is the cell with the correct information. But instead Company A's worksheet isn't adjusting for the deleted row and is still referencing F46.
The only solutions I have found for this issue are to either have all the linked files open when I am editing the master. But seeing as there are almost 25 files, that doesn't seem very practical. The other solution is to never insert or delete rows, just to add on to the end of the master spreadsheet.

I have a master spreadsheet that houses most of the information that remains in my control, and several other user spreadsheets that update cells from that master through links.
I am having some problems lately with users doubleclicking the locked linked cells in their workbooks, and excel then wanting to open and give the user access to my master spreadsheet. Is there a way to disable this feature? I would like it to not even acknowledge the action if that's even possible because it confuses them as to why they are getting a prompt to open another document.

I need to be able to pull information from a "master database" into seperate worksheets. Here is my problem. When I use a vlookup and my identifer is say "office property" then the vlookup will only pull the first "office property" and not retrieve any of the remaining "office property" rows.

I have 100 or so workbooks named A1234.xls, A1235.xls, A1236.xls etc.
I want to gather information from the same worksheet and same cell in each workbook.
I want this information in a separate workbook named Master.xls
In the Master spreadsheet I have the workbook names in column A e.g.
A1234
A1235
A1236 etc.
In column B, I want the information form each of the 100 workbooks. For example, from "sheet 1" Cell C2. This is the same place I want the information from in each workbook.
Is there an easy way of doing this with a formulae rather than a macro. For example, in the Master spreadsheet column B1 formula would read =[A1234.xls]Sheet1!$C$2 ... and then can you drag this changing the filename according to column A in the master spreadsheet?
If not can a macro be used? I have only started looking at macro's and my knowledge on them is very basic.

I would like to be able to create a reactive, searchable database. I have data that will be broken down into two divisions: Origin and Destination States. I would like to type in an Origin State, then a Destination State, and then have the document provide results for matching data. For example, if company 1 is in the origin state, but not destination state, its data will not be shown in the search result. However, if company 2 is listed in both the Origin State and Destination State, its data will be listed.
Addition - Attached is a small example of the worksheet that I would like to create. In the "SEARCH" tab, I would like to enter the Origin and Destination States. the search would yield all appropriate matches. In this example, if I entered Alabama as the Orign State, and Arizona as the destination, the search would provide the following match:
GreenLine
H&M Bay
Refrigerated Express

This is my invoice. I want to be able to create a database record of every transaction. In the end I want to be able to export this data into Access, but it needs to be in sequential rows and columns. I want to be able to list the cells on Sheet 1 that have Data in them in the configuration on Sheet 2 that I have listed. What I need to keep in mind is that someone might have 1 item in a transaction and others might have 5. So I need the ShopID and Customer information to appear in front of every item listed in rows 20-27.

I am working on a label printing set-up for my work. So far I have completed the userform that formulas will be entered on and printed from. I had an idea of being able to save these formulas for recall later. I included “Save” and “Recall” buttons on the userform. My plan is to have my co-workers click on the “save” button and be able to enter an additional piece of data and have everything saved to another worksheet labeled “database”. If you look at the said sheet you will see a column for “customer”, “color” and then the colorants. Due to the wide variety of colorants and quantities available, I set it up so that I have the colorant and under that Oz and 48ths. I am trying to figure out a code that will populate that across the row.
Then I want to be able to push “recall”, find my customer and then color in a combobox and have that populate my label.
At this time I am stuck. Part of my problem is I don’t quite know the terminology to google.
Attached is the file I am working with. The only sheets that need concern anyone are "main" and "database". The others are from the original file and I will be deleting those once I am done.

I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to use as the 'master'. I want to break down this master by category (Column D) and label the worksheet by category (AA, Code, SQL...)
I need for the code to search the D1:D500 column and find "AA", "Code" or "SQL" and place the entire respective row on each respective worksheet. Then sort by colmn E. There are columns a:h that need moved to each sheet.

I have been creating a simple database to hold a record of attendance.
I'm now at the stage where I want to create a worksheet that cannot be modified; but rather is something the user can look at in a glance.
I need forming a SUMIFS formula that will look for monthly periods of the times late, sick, absent etc and add them up to return to one place.
So the dependants will be the month, the employee and the type of record (late, sick, holiday)
I have created a userform that I can use to add in the raw data, so I'm not sure what range I can create, as every time new data is added it finds the next available row.
Here is what I'm using so far: [Code] ........
What the Overview will look like : Overview.PNG
What the raw data looks like : Raw Data to use.PNG
Do I need to introduce a matched up column that has the employee name and date?

I am creating a spreadsheet utilizing the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) from NIST.
I am successfully able to import the xml files and have the xsd mapped fine.
My problem is within each xml files for each records(1000s of records) there are sub pieces to certain record parts. I.e. software versions (that will be different per piece of software) however they will always fall under prod vendor

Excel creates a new row for each of these.
How can I make it only create the 1 row and comma seperate those?

I have an excel file as attached. I have two departments Digital and Industrial. Under this I have done a drop down option for different quarter for different projects.
When I open my excel file I just want to see the Quarter column under Digital but when I double click on Digital all other columns appear.
Second this is it possible to create a master filter or sorting for Quarter above the table so that if I select Q1 in it it will displays all the project and corresponding values in both Digital and Industrial.

I have a 5 major categories of products e.g. Ketchup, Hot sauce ,mayonnaise , pizza sauce etc.
Now each of these individual categories are further divided into number of of subcategories based upon the the sizes and brands.
I want to create a sheet (One sheet) where I have to record production of each product on daily basis.
Like for example if I am producing ketchup, I select ketchup from drop-down list,Now in next column I have to select production size from predefined sizes i.e subcategories. But it should also be from drop-down menu and it should only show me the subcategories of my selected product like ketchup .I think this has something to do with data validation but I am not sure how this model will work.

I need to create a macro to copy the data from time sheets of different employees into the Master sheet. ie., each employee's time sheet details in to a separate sheet. If any employee fails to provide his/her time sheet details. a mail must be sent to the respective employees regarding the Time sheet submission. I am providing the sample data of my files too.
Intentionally TS_Employee5.xlsx timesheet isn't provided. In which case, I have to send a mail to the respective employee, in order to remind him about the time sheet.

I am trying to set up a new assurance work book and worksheet (worksheet2 lets say) which will dynamically link to another workbook and worksheet (worksheet 1) owned by another part of my business. The purpose using the data set in worksheet 1 is that this is the source data and is the most accurate for the project information. So I am looking up columns A, B and C in that workbook in my new worksheet2 using ='[Spreadheet 1.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$1174 the same for column B and C, with the aim that any new data entries within columns A, B and C will be populated in worksheet2.
In columns D to Z of worksheet 2 (my worksheet) I am applying some assurance metrics to the project information that is specific each row of column A, B and C which are dynamically linked to woorksheet1. My problem and it is completely eluding me is this....
The owners of worksheet1 regularly sort the data into chronological order based on Column A. However the data is not normally presented in this way i.e. all new entries regardless of date are added to the list at the bottom of worksheet1. The problem I have is, is keeping my row data in Columns D-Z linked to the row data in columns A-C of worksheet2 no matter what kind of sorting occurs to Columns A-C in worksheet1.

I'm working on right now is a spreadsheet where we catalog and monitor account information for a handful of groups. I have several different worksheets that contain grouped information such as all groups we have and a list of individual people in those groups. Those groups are in a single column going down and the people are in a single row for that group going from left to right, an example is below:
Master Personnel Listing for Accounts
-------------------------------------------------
Group 1 | Name 1 | Name 2 | Name 3
Group 2 | Name 1 | Name 2
Group 3 | Name 1
Group 4 | Name 1 | Name 2 | Name 3 | Name 4....................

I would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.
The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.
the database file has the similar headings.
at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.
This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine
