Detect When Web Query Has Updated
Aug 17, 2006
I'm trying to automate a spreadsheet that downloads a set of tickers from Bloomberg and then fills across a range with a series of data. I have most of the VBA code I need, but my problem is that on opening the spreadsheet, the code moves on to fill the range before all the tickers have downloaded correctly.
I've tried using application.wait and setting up loops until the time reaches a certain value, but these seem to stop Excel updating the list of tickers (presumably the loops stop excel gathering the data?). I suspect that what I need to use is something like the querytable. afterrefresh, but am not sure I'm using it correctly since my knowledge of VBA is very rudimentary.
(i) is there a way of getting the sheet to open, and then just wait for a period of time while still allowing the tickers to download, and/or
(ii) any way to detect when the tickers have finished downloading before the next step of code can commence?

I have a function that loops through sheets and opens a query and copys the information to a sheet. I have gone in the access db and updated the query. Yet everytime i call it in excel it returns the old data. I have gone into access and verified what data I should get and I just don't get it.
I pass in the query name and the sheet name into qryName and sheetName name.
Code:
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sQRY As String
Dim strFilePath As String
[Code].....

What I have is a database of measurements taken, where X-axis is distance across a surface and Y-axis is measuring deformation to that surface. Each measurement is actually a group of data points from one sweep across the surface on a certain day, resulting in a line plot for that group. What I'm trying to do is create a "checksheet" so that you can overlay plots from multiple dates on the same grid to compare how the surface has changed with each measurement. I've got the checksheet part working properly, and I can toggle things on/off as I like as long as my data doesn't change.
The rub is that this data is gathered via query, and each measurement doesn't have the same # of data points. If I update the query to look at a different date range, the plots are now off because the old data range doesn't match the new data.
Is there any way of changing the data range when a query gets updated, or a way to tie it to a function?

I have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!

I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.

I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..

I need to send a file to hundreds of users so that I can tell who has a particular add-in installed. This file will then be saved to a particular directory. The problem I'm having is controlling the error that occurs when the add-in is NOT installed. The below approach (using On Error Goto) clearly isn't the way to go. I need something like
If(Iserror(AddIns("AmartaSpecs") Then Cells(2,3)="No"
The code I have so far is:
Sub Amarta_Specs()
Dim a
'ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Delete
Cells(1, 1) = "Username"
Cells(1, 2) = "Computer Name"
Cells(1, 3) = "Add-in installed?"
Cells(2, 1) = Environ("Username")
Cells(2, 2) = Environ("Computername")
On Error GoTo Error
Set a = AddIns("AmartaSpecs")
Cells(2, 3) = "Yes"
Error:
Cells(2, 3) = "No"
ChDir "E:FinanceSQL Add-in test"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="E:FinanceSQL Add-in test" & Environ("Username") & ".xls"
End Sub

I searched this site and found the code below to check if a worksheet to be updated is already open. It works fine (gets the desired message) if the workbook is open, but if not open I get "Run-time Error 9, Subscript out of range". I've played with it for a couple hours,
VB:
Dim wBook As Workbook
'Check that Summary worksheet is available for update.
Set wBook = Workbooks("CommittedSummary.xls")
If wBook Is Nothing Then 'Not open
'Do nothing
Else 'It is open
i = MsgBox("The 'CommittedSummary.xls' workbook is already in use and
cannot be updated. Please try again when the workbook Is available", _
vbCritical, "Committed Request Edit")
Goto EndUpdate
End If

I am doing a bit of data spring cleaning... I need some VBA that will look at column FT for duplicates. I want it then to keep only the most recent one, so it would delete the others rows completely. Column B contains a date and time. When removing the items it should make a copy of them to the sheet Delete Log.

I have a workbook with a few worksheets. In sheet1 I have a few ranges which are linked to different parts in the other excel sheets.
Is there anyway to check if a range is being used as a link in another sheet.
Eg.
In sheet1 , A1 i have a value Apple.
In sheet2, A1 I have linked it to sheet1 A1.
is it possible to detect the link in sheet2 A1 from Sheet1 A1? I tried using Trace dependents but all it shows me is the link symbol? An arrow with a small excel sheet.

Row 3: Year is 1
Row 4: Time is 4
Row 5: Hour is 6
Row 6: Minute is 8
Row 7: !
!Not Part of Output Comment: Now row 1 data has ended. Move to Row 2!
Row 8: Age is 6
Row 9: Always Same - Note this appears even though not part of data
Row 10: Year is 7
Row 11: Time is 8

I am trying to detect if a user leaves a cell empty. I have tried If statements like:
If Target.Value = "" Then
and
If (IsNull(Target.Value) Then
The problem is when the user uses the spacebar to delete an entry in that cell. If they leave any spaces after exiting the cell those if statements fail to run.

In column A i have a range of dates
In column B i have a range of descriptions
In column C i have formula which calculates an interest figure based on the date entered in column A and a date entered in a cell elsewhere. It also makes the cell display a couple of different strings of text if conditions are not met e.g. It displays "too early" if the date entered is more than 4 years before the date entered in the cell elsewhere
The problem that im having is this:
When i try to calculate column C i want it to throw an error if there is anything but a numeric value in the column. But it is obviously considering the cells in column C with for e.g. "too early" as a "0". I have tried all sorts of formula to do this to no avail, IFTEXT, IFNUMBER, ISTEXT, ISNONTEXT etc etc.

how can I detect the OS of the computer a sheet is running on and launch a macro accordingly?
I have built a calculator that utilizes an embedded wave file but doesn't work correctly with Vista. With Vista it actually causes WMP to be launched instead of just playing the file. So I was hoping to be able to skip the sound on Vista machines but play for all other OS's.

I need to detect blank rows and then delete them but for the formula not be be affected
In the example attached there are 4 components but i may only need to use 3 so row 4 would be blank
i need to find the blank rows and delete them and for the formula in cells G12:H14 to be update as necessary
at the moment if i delete the rows i get a REF# in place of the cell which has been deleted
i have tried this on a simple formula and when you delete a row the formula changes as required

I often have Excel sheets in which Excel tells me there are hyperlinks and content from other sources. I guess it happens because I copy something from one sheet to another.
First, is it possible to copy-and-paste from a sheet to another and only copy the concrete formulas and formats, and no source to the old file?
Secondly, how can I detect where these hyperlinks and links to other sources are? I see they exists, but I can't seem to find them. Does Excel have such function? Can I detect them with a VBA script?

apple (KG)
apple (PKT)
apple (BAG)
orange (KG)
Orange (PKT)
Orange (BAG)
and a command button.
Can I make it in a way that when command button detects (kg) in combox1, the caption of commandButton will change to "KG"? if detect (BAG) combobox1, then commandButton is "Bag"?

We have a workbook with over 20 worksheets, each sheet with one or more tables in it. Several people use the workbook and we have decided that when someone changes a cell, they should mark the changed cell by filling it with blue using Format Cell. We have then nominated one person at end of each week who will check all the changes made during the week and either approve or reject them. So her task is to find all the blue cells, check them and then take the shading off.
What I would like to do is to create a macro to help her. I would like the macro to automatically identify all the blue cells in the workbook and give her a list of these cells. I wonder if someone could give me direction on a couple of things:
1) The command in the macro that would return whether a cell is shaded blue
2) The way in which I could cycle through all the content of each worksheet. I'm thinking worse case I would have to write instructions to go to each sheet, and then do an outer loop to go through each row, and an inner loop for each column (and the number of active cells varies by worksheet) -
