Database Construction And Form Use
Feb 13, 2007
I need to construct a text only database to keep track of an ever changing catalogue. The contained data will have three levels to it and look something like this:
Company 1
................Product 1
.............................Extra 1
.............................Extra 2
.............................Extra 3
................Product 2
.............................Extra 1
.............................Extra 2
Company 2
................Product 3
.............................Extra 4
................Product 4
.............................Extra 4
.............................Extra 5
...and so on
As you can see, the database will contain several companies, each selling their own products, each with certain extra's available. My main aim is to have an easily updateable list that can be summarised quickly into a company and their available products and extra's. The database hasn't been constructed yet. Have you guys got any tips or ideas on the best way of setting this out to keep it as flexible as possible?
My first thoughts were along these lines:
Company.........Product.........Extra
......1......................1.................1
......1......................1.................2
......1......................1.................3
......1......................2.................1
...and so on
Does this look to be the easiest way? Obviously there would be quite a bit of duplication in column A and B but as far as I can tell this is unavoidable.
I also have grand aspirations of having a front worksheet with a customised form that allows me to select the company from a dropdown list and then having it populate a list of the products and available extra's. Would I need to use VBA and if so how would I go about doing it? Is it possible to include something to export the results out to a new word or excel document? Eventually I would like to be able to hide the database and have data entry/removal made by way of a similar form. I must admit that this is currently out of my scope so chances are I may reply with further questions.

I have a form I'm building that I want to put on the server to allow different people to complete as needed.
As they complete this form I want to take all the info they entered and have it go into a data base once there I want to clear the form for the next person.

I have a userform to view data in a database from a combobox result as follows:
Private Sub cmbCompany_Change()
With frmChangeCustData
.txtCustNo = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 2)
.txtAddress = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 3)
.txtCity = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 4)
.txtState = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 5)
.txtZip = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 6)
.txtPhone = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 7)
.txtContact = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0, 8)
.txtFax = Format(Val(.txtPhone), "(###)###-####")
.txtEmail = Range("custdatacompany").Cells(cmbCompany.ListIndex + 0.1)
End With
End Sub
I want to be able to use the same type of form to edit any of the fields in the data base selectively. I think I need to reverse the above code in some manner to accomplish this. What I can't get my head wrapped around is how to get to the correct row in the database to post the edited fields in the correct spot.

Attached is a workbook for entering sample receipt. Each new entry/row should have the consecutive number in column A.
I have a button for calling up the default form for a database (e.g. Data>Form>New).

I have created my first user form that puts the info gathered onto a seperate sheet.
We are a garage and its for cars that come into stock.
What I want to do is when we sell a car, have a way of removing the car from the database but recording the infomation that was in the first database and some additional infomation like who sold it and the selling price.

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 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.

I have set up a simple form in excel, whereby people use drop down menus to select the appropriate information (as all data inputted needs to be entered in exactly the same way to allow sorting, counting etc) so I thought drop downs were best. The trouble is the data is carried through to my excel database (on another worksheet) were it is shown in numeric values dependant on how far down the drop down list the select item appears (ie "Fareham" is third on the list, so shows in the database as "3").
I'd very much like my database to be easier to read and actually show Fareham etc, rather than be populated with lots of numbers. I initially tried using IF function (ie =IF(C3=3,"Fareham") but unfortunately two of my drop down lists are too long for this (with 25 and 33 entries respectively).

I'm developing a spreadsheet that is generating relatively simple source code. As far as excel is concerned, based on columns of data in the first sheet, generate other sheets - conceptually straightforward, but the formulas are getting stupid long. For example, suppose I have 4 columns:
Needs A, Needs B, Needs C, and Needs D.
If there is a "Y" in any of these columns, I need to generate corresponding text that is concatenated together:
=if(a1=="Y") use "Field1[if1]"
=if(b1=="Y") use "Field2[if2]"
=if(c1=="Y") use "Field3[if3]"
=if(d1=="Y") use "Field4[if4]"
The result in some other column could be (samples):
Field1[if1]
Field1[if1].Field2[if2]
Field3[if3]
Field2[if2].Field4[if4]
a couple of notes:
- you can have field 2 without field 1, etc.
- if there is a trailing field, then I need a period separating the two.
Needing this separating period between some of the columns is driving me bat crap crazy. My approach to this point is to build work sheets that feed the main page, thus isolating the logic complexity. This seems to be the only way to segment the processing into something one can edit.

I am trying to get a formula sorted out, that if a date is entered into column J, this changes the date in column F. But if there is no date in column J then nothing changes to column F.

I have used Excel for a number of years and have gotten on ok on my own working out simple formulas myself but I have been stuck on this one for a while. Is it possible to enter a value into a cell and have a predefined formula that works with the data that I enter?? I would like to enter a value between 1-10 and the cell then takes this number and multiplies it by a value in another cell. Eg.
I have a cell that displays £10 (let's say D6)
In another cell I enter 8
I would then like the cell to do the formula =8*D6 automatically, as this value can be different each time (1-10)

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'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

I'm missing something in my UserForm initialization code. If I fill the form out once and click 'OK' (run the code to put the form data into a sheet), when I go back into the form all the old info is still there. If I then click 'Cancel' (Unload Me) and reopen the form, the old data is cleared out. What am I missing to make it clear it out the first time?

I'm having trouble trying to come up with a way to insert data fields into a spreadsheet form. I have a travel authorization form that I would like to have automatically fill in the required fields based on typing in a name. i.e. I would type in an employees name, and it would automatically fill-in the correct address, etc for that employee. I have attached a spreadsheet that contains one sheet as the form, and another sheet containing the employee data. I know nothing about VBA, but I have a feeling that is where I need to go.

I am needing to create a form that exports data (a quote) to an Excel Db (table) and is then able to recall the data back into the form. (the default form in excel does this and I want to copy that.)
Once the data is called back in, I can then export it to another Table to show that the quote has been approved and will be used.
I am having trouble with the VBA coding that copies the inputted quote in Cell C2 (the reference for the quote number) of the "Form" sheet and looks it up in the "Database" sheet. I have tried several variations of code, but nothing works so far.
-SS
Sub RecallQuote()
'
' RecallQuote Macro
'
Sheets("Form").Select
Range("C2").Select 'this is the cell that holds the quote number to look up from the table
[Code] ......

I have a spreadsheet I use to keep track of weekly sales patterns and use for estimating the amount of a product I would need to order taking into account what I would expect to sell in a given week and what stock I have at present. On the example I've attached, I show where I enter my storeroom count figures, which are organised by supplier and the position in which a particular product appears on the supplier's order form. I have a page which lists the orders by suppliers and which are used to place the orders by e-mail or telephone.
At present I have each supplier section of the order form directly linked to a cell on the storeroom count as per columns K to M on the attached file. However, this means that as products are de-listed by suppliers and extra products become available, I have to edit the formula in each cell as the products now appear in a different position on the storeroom count and may otherwise end up on the order form for a different supplier. I would like to set it up so that I just have to select the supplier name and the table below will automatically fill with the required info, in order of the position they appear on the supplier's form. I'm struggling to combine vlookup and hlookup. Is there a way to do it or do I need to rethink?

find the attached workbook
I have a Database and user form, in the user form i have a field named “Vehicle No” this is a combo box from which a user needs to select the Vehicle numbers, and all these are working fine now, I need your help in the following:
When user selects the second field named "Select Vendor name" i need a pop up window which shows all the Vehicles belongs to the vendor which they have selected, and with the popup window user selects the vehicle number then the Vehicle number combo box should be filled.
Currently users have to select by scrolling through Combo box which takes long time and difficult to find by scrolling.

I have two forms...clicking a specific button on the first form should display the second form which works fine.
VB:
Private Sub Image_Employees_Click()
Form_Main.Hide
Form_Employees.Show
[Code].....
When I do this twice, however, the second form seems to freeze/hang and I have to close Excel and then re-open it. I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious...

I have created a registration workbook for this year's youth sports league. All of the information is entered into a User Form and separated onto it's appropriate sheet designated by the child's age. Next year, I would like to use this year's workbook to look up returning players.
Will it be possible to add a "lookup" button into my form, or create a lookup program, that once the registrar clicks on the correct player, the information is plugged into the User Form, the registrar adjusts the age and any necessary info, presses enter, and the information is copied into the appropriate category in the new workbook? I haven't worked with User Forms long enough to know if they can be filled in that way, but if this can be done, you are the people who would know.

I'm using a series of user forms for data entry to a workbook, some of them open next stage user form on completion (OK cmd button).
All that is working fine, but I'd like the initial form to close on showing the next one. I've tried adding Unload and Hide commands following the frmInsertEntry.Show (Next stage form), to no avail, but I'd like this user form to close or hide at the end of the sub.
Private Sub cmdContinueType_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Records").Activate 'Select starting cell in record sheet
Range("N3").Select
Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then ' Search for next empty cell
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True
If optDrillType = True Then
frmDrillEntry.Show
Else
frmInsertEntry.Show
End If
End Sub

I have created a form that pops up using a macro when the form is opened. It is a simple form that uses optionbuttons in a group to select Intl or Dom.
Problems:
1) How do you get the form to close once a button is selected?
2) The user can close the form without selecting a button (the X at the top).
3) How do you get the data selected onto the excel spreadsheet?

I need to create a form that if you were to enter a name in the text box it would fill all the information across that row into other boxes on the form. Basicly if I type John Doe in the text box it would look in col A for John Doe and then put whats in the cells on that row into different boxes on my form. I have tried searching but I have had no luck. Im very new to forms so this is a great experience.

I have 2 forms. Form1 and Form2. I load Form1 to display. A button on Form1 calls Form2 to display. After I hit Cancel-Unload on Form2 it doesn't dissapear. How do I get rid of the residual image of pesky Form2 after I unload it and only display Form1 WITHOUT having to reload Form1 after Form1 calls Form2
In English
Form1 Displays
Form1 call Form2 to display
Form2 is unloaded by hitting a button on Form2
Form2 is unloaded, however, it's image still displays!!!
Need some way to force screen to refresh without having to unload Form1!
