Data Connection From Web / Web Query Returns Code Instead Of Selected Data Table
May 31, 2014
A web query I am trying to use to bring an online data table into my worksheet is broken. Now, instead of returning the data table nicely into my worksheet, it imports the code of the webpage, instead, and turns my worksheet into a mess.
The query used to work but there was recently an "upgrade" to the program that populates the web table and the query no longer works and just returns the code for the page, instead. I can see the html code for the table in all of the code it returns but I really need the table to import cleanly into excel.
I can't talk to the people who changed the web program.

I created a slick little excel sheet with the data coming in automatically via Access query. It has been working fine for months. Now all of the sudden there are a bunch of cells with missing data. The weird part is it's not as if whole columns are missing data, more like 90% missing. When I go to Access and run the query all cells are populated as the should be. There have been no changes to the query at all during this time.
btw...I am running Office 2010

I've about 10 pivot tables in Excel that are populated via an External Query link to Access. In each case I have pre-written views with all the columns I need so that the query can just pick them up. Nine of the ten queries work perfectly, but one doesn't - reporting "Too Few Parameters - Expected 1" when I try and click on the "Return Data to Excel" in the import wizard.
I can see the column headers in Excel to select; so I'm assuming that it can parse the SQL but no results are being returned. Just to confirm though - results are returned (>8000 of them) in Access.
SQL code below:
Code:
SELECT z.pathdurationhours AS PathHours, Count(z.pathdurationhours) AS Paths,
Count(z.pathdurationhours)/(select count(*) from (select [activity date],
[conversion ID], count(*) from tbl_dfa_p2cdata group by [activity date], [conversion ID]) ) AS PCT
FROM (SELECT a.[activity date], a.[conversion ID], val( max(a.[interaction time])-min(a.[interaction time]) )
*24 AS PathDurationHours FROM tbl_dfa_P2CData AS a WHERE a.[interaction time]
"" GROUP BY a.[activity date], a.[conversion ID]) AS z
GROUP BY z.pathdurationhours;

I'm trying to build a workbook (2007) with multiple worksheets where each worksheet corresponds to a different query/dataset pulling data from the one database.
I would have expected that you could define the one data connection object and then specify the SQL that each worksheet table will invoke. The apparent structure of having the query coupled to the connection object is confounding me. I'm therefore trying to set up a separate connection for each of the worksheets and Excel is getting tied up in knots.

if it's possible to break the connection between a pivot table and the data source whilst still maintaining the data in the table? I could try copy/paste special/paste values but thought there migth be a 'proper' way to preserve the data.

An external data web query points to a web site that offers a foreign exchange rate calculator. In my browser, I selected the specific currency pair I need and used the resulting url in the web query. The "New Web Query" pane resolves the url correctly and allows me to select the table data I want (the little yellow arrow turns to a green check mark). However, when I hit "Import" and select the target cell, the only data returned is the parameters from the url and an error msg (This web query returned no data...). How do I get the query to pass the parameters to the website correctly?

I have created a monitoring spreadsheet for a public School system. It pulls data from 5 seperate excell files. however when a lookup value that is further down the list on the largest table it returns no data. other cells can lookup that same number and return correct information but from a different table.
The table that has issues is A1 - Y12430.. if the lookup value is low in the first few thosand rows it works.. but if thye value is in say row 9,000 it can not locate it..

My workbook has 9 queries, all needing the same string. I would like to have a msgbox pop up, let them enter the directory name, and have that change all the odbc conneciton strings automatically. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The message box would be a nice touch, but is not necessary, I can change it in the VBA editor if needed.
Currently, they connect using a Visual FoxPro ODBC driver. We setup the connection when we made the queries. Now that they are in on the worksheets, I want to be able to edit them with VBA instead of using the script editor (which is very slow).

I am not sure how to setup the initial connection to the datbase from excel and was wondering what would be the best way to go about things. Is it possible to run the query stored in the database and pass it a value or would I be better off just coding it into a sqlstring within the macro.
Here is the query that is in the database...when run it asks for the "Status?" variable.
SELECT ordernumber, mobilenumber
FROM bookings
WHERE status = [status?];
So yes, really simple query but yeah just want to know how to pass it that variable from excel or can I just set it up in the actual macro to maybe read the status from a cell?

If I run this vba it removes the external data connection to the pivot table:
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("EXAMPLE").Delete
When I attempt to drill down into the pivot table it states the data connection was removed.
Is there a way to remove the data connection but preserve the data in the pivot cache?
It's probably possible to store the data somewhere else in the document and link the pivot table up to it but that seems cumbersome.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a query to an Access table. The query pulls data from 2 columns in a table and pastes it to the spreadsheet. I am trying to update the VBA a little on one sheet and now I get the attached error whenever the code tries to run in Excel. Here is the code with the offending portion separated at the top.

I have some data formatted as a table. There are some blank rows at the end that still contain formula.
Every time I sort the data these rows move to the beginning. I have tried only selecting the active rows of data, but the whole lot defaults in each time
How do I sort data with a selected range only (within a table)?
Don't really want a macro as this will need to be used by others

I'm making a macro that filters a data set and then inputs a value into all of the rows for a certain column. When no results show up for the filter I receive a runtime 1004 error because there are no cells to select.
Here is my code:
Sheets("External Buys").Select
Range("G5").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Raw Data").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$AU$10432").AutoFilter Field:=39, Criteria1:= _

In the attachment you will see an example of what I am trying to accomplish. What I am trying to do is find VBA code that is either specific to this worksheet or in a macro. When the sheet is opened I enter a date in B2. I then enter data into A7, B7, and C7. What I would like to happen is when the data is entered into A7, B7, and C7 the sheet goes and finds the same date that I entered in B2 and copies that data from A7, B7, and C7 into F7, G7, and H7.

STO-Productivity-Feb0314.xlsxI work in cancer research and I'm trying to find a way to show the amount of studies that staff have in total and their role on the study. I have a data table that contains many fields but the crux of what I'm having trouble with starts with the following:
When I begin with a pivot table I start by just selecting the all of the studies listed in the table and then the two roles that staff can have data or regulatory. Staff can do both roles or just one on a study. I put the roles of data and regulatory into the row labels and the studies that we work on in the values. The problem is that I now only see studies that the staff member works on that meet working on both roles and not the studies that they serve only one role.
UPDATE: see the attached spreadsheet to illustrate further. Ablorh is the employee that I have it focused on and it only shows the one study she has both the regulator and data roles. The 7 other studies that the employee works on in the data role do not show.

I was messing around with data connections and importing stuff from a network in real time. Cool stuff. But everytime I open ANY excel worksheet on this computer, it tells me "file cannot be found" and refers to one of the first files I used for this. this happens no matter what workbook I am opening.
When I click data --> connections its empty.

I've created a connection which draws information from an access table to excel. The issue is that any numbers (they are ratings from 1-10) that come from access are shown in excel 1 number higher than the correct data that is in access (i.e 10 is shown as 11, 9 as 10, etc). I've looked all over the forum as well as google and can't find any information on how to correct this.

I have 2 excel files. One excel file (File A) is a basically a source file on a shared network that users input data into. The second excel file (File B) I created in hopes of basically using to analyze the data in File A. I used a data connection to access the data on File A while on File B. The issue I'm facing now is that when I refresh the connection, it locks File A from being opened until I close File B. Currently, I have the data connection to refresh only manually, so I'll open File B, refresh it, save, close, and then re-open without refreshing, so that way File A only stays locked for that short amount of time. Is there any way to make it such that when I refresh the connection, it doesn't lock File A?

I am connecting Excel to a database and there is a field called Data Created which is timestamp. Data comes out nicely in a Pivot Table
1. I would like to be able to group by month but the grouping fiction is grayed out
2. How can we convert the timestamp to only date format. I am able to select only Date for that column but it seems that it keeps the time, even though it only shows the date in the pivot table the bar above shows date and time.

I have an Excel workbook that has a data connection to a Sharepoint List. I have 4 columns showing the quaterly status of a project. I want to apply conditional formatting based on the value in the column. I have 5 possible choices so I have to use VBA code to accomplish this because of the limit of 3 option in Excel. I am using this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Intersect(Target, Range("X:AA"))
If rng Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
Dim cl As Range
For Each cl In rng
Select Case cl.Text
Case "1"
cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Case "2"
cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Case "3"
cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case "4"...............................

With Excel 2010 a yellow warning bar is shown when opening a file with data connection. I don't want to show this warning to other users who will be opening the file, especially when they won't be able to update anything since the original data is on my computer. The logical way would be to remove or disable the connections before sending the file out. But when removing the data connections through Connection window all the pivot tables are converted to static tables, which is not acceptable. Is there any other solution to this? Maybe use a macro?
PS: I know that these warnings can be turned off though Trust Center, but I am not interested in changing these settings for other users.
