I have a RecordSet that has been built and accessed sequentially with no problems. I now want to access it directly, via it's Primary Key.
I know I can access it as follows :
With MyTable
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
If ![PrimaryKey] = Work_Key Then
MyData = ![Data_To_Extract]
Exit Do
End If
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
As a MainFrame Programmer, I would expect to be able to access that record directly, via it's Primary Key, something like :
Read MyTable Key = Work_Key
MyData = ![Data_To_Extract]
Am I thinking too much like a Mainframe Programmer (that *is* my trade, it's difficult to adjust sometimes !)? Is the With - Do/Loop method the way to go, or is there a Direct Read method I should be using?
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming - Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me) - Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
I have an excel file which is shared by multiple users. I would like to make one person to have read,write or edit permissions and rest of the users to have only read only permissions.
Does Excel can be used to read data from HDF files? Specifically, what I would like to do is this: I have an Excel worksheet with some latitude data on Column A and longitude data on Column B. I would like to open a HDF file, which contains many sets of data, out of which 2 are the latitude/longitude data, and a third set contains the data that I want to extract. I will use the latitude data in Column A to search through the first set in the HDF, which will return me the row number. I will then use the longitude data in Column B to search through the second set to return the column number. With these row and column numbers, I will then extract the corresponding data in the third set, and write it to Column C in the worksheet.
how to write a simple VBA code for it? Or point me to some relevant information?
I have recently used a before_close event on this workbook to save a backup of the open file to another location on my system. This works fine but I was wondering if there was some more code I could add to only execute this event on a write access basis.
The file I use can be viewed by anyone on the network as read-only and only certain users with a password can edit/update with a write access password.
The backup event is use executes every time the document is closed be it read-only or write-access.
Ideally I would like to add some code to only execute this backup if the file is opened on a write-access basis.
I have enable Refresh on Open for my excel pivot table, but user need to click "Enable Automatic Refresh" , only solution i came across is to change the registry setting. Which i dont have access to edit registry(admin disable the access).
Alternate solution i try to use Access macro to automate the process and use Outputto save it as a excel file A. Then use excel file B to update pivot table from excel file A.(as excel A data is always latest) The problem is i will get "....A file name already exist...do you want to overwrite.." prompt. Which defeat the automate process.
Any other solution to enable the automatic refresh on open the excel workbook?
Or Access can overwrite the exist file or save it as another file name with timestamp ?
Lately I've been learning how to pluck data right from a web page:
for instance, cageNum = IE.document.getElementById("txtCage").Value will read the info right out of the txtCage textbox at the page where my IE object is.
Now I'd like to read a table into excel. How is that done?
I have attached the dataset. I need the data table to show the total numbers per year with the % change year on year, A column in this table of a year end projection figure for 08/09 and the % change. And finally add a line graph to show each complete year and the 08/09 projection as a comparator.
I am trying to analyze a web page and would like to search through the contents of a web table. I need to extract text error messages which can be located at various unpredictable rows / columns in the web table.
I have created some pivotcharts in Excel 2007, but I have a serious problem with them The labels (usernames actually) in the data table are impossible to read (pls see attachment) If I make the letters smaller it is unreadable, if I make them larger it is still the same. how I can make the data table "resized"?
i'm creating a small database extractor in excel. basically it goe's into my Access DB's rips the tabel names and the field name etc. from here i run an SQL query etc etc, however some table have space in the names and i need to replace these with an underscore in access permanently? here's what i have tried so far:
Is it possible to import the last row an Access table into Excel either through VBA or an excel function.
I need it to be only the last row, due to the size of the database, I have tried importing using a query but this takes a long time as it checks each row first.
Is there a way to find the last row automatically a bit like this in excel.
I have a script that exports an excel worksheet into an access db table and thsi is working fine. However i want to define a specific worksheet where the data is being exported from within the code but im having trouble doing, its using just a range at present.
I have created a userform in excel which I want to transfer data over to access with.
I have built a command button to send data to access code below.
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset Set cn = New ADODB.Connection cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=filepath.mdb" Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset rs.Open "Main", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
rs.Close Set rs = Nothing cn.Close Set cn = Nothing
This works fine when all comboboxes and textboxes have entries in but doesn't work when the have been left blank and there will be occasions when they can be left blank.
I'm using the below code to add data to an access database and it's working fine, but I'm trying to figure out what code I would need to add a completely new field to the access database?
So maybe before the export, once connected to the DB, add the new field(s) to the table and then add export the data. I'd have to rewrite export bit to allow for any new fields that i've added, but I can do that.
It's just the actually command I need add the new field to the table. Sure it's just a simple couple of lines, but trying to find something that makes sense !!
I am not able to retrieve the date from Access table.Here is below code.. How to retrieve the data from ACCESS..
Dim adoCN As ADODB.Connection Dim strSQL As String Const DatabasePath As String = "U:workareaNew Projectdb1.mdb" 'Function argument descriptions 'LookupFieldName - the field you wish to search
I have a table i'm importing from access. I'm wondering if there's a way to split the table so that it imports into separate locations. The following shows what I'm trying to do.
This is the data table. You'll note that under FlatOrTrim, I have 2 choices.
I'd like the ones in flat to populate one portion of the worksheet, and the ones in Trim to populate a different part of the worksheet. Like so: (Not all the data matches up perfectly, ignore that)...
I suffered a very annoying HDD failure and lost loads of music. The only record I have is the winamp media library which I could only export to .xml. From there, I've been unable to do anything remotely useful with it (access would have been best, I suppose) so have resorted to trusty Excel. Even then I've underestimated the task at hand: I've now got 9 excel files, each 65536 rows long, with the xml data streaming down them. Can anyone think how I could get a macro to 1. run through the list(s), line by line, deleting any line that had (e.g.) Track ID OR Genre OR etc...
In order to remove all but the 5 categories I have in bold below, i.e. name, artist, album, date, folder....
now if i wanted to be able to look up jason then have it populate which Dept he worked in, in cell A1 in my excel spread sheet what code could I use. Just want to look up one area in my access data table then show it in A1 one item at a time.
I've trailed through the search engine on here and I can't find an answer to this: Can you access lookup tables in Excel from VBA code? I assume you can, but can't seem to find anything on this
I need to populate data from Access table to sheet1 using Excel/vba. I want to find out the percentage of batches scanned for the date selected for each time slot. There are Time slots in the columns from Q to X. i.e 8:00,9:00,10:00,11:00.....etc.
so I need to find out percentage of batches scanned before the above time slots.. To count total number of batches , we will use count(BatchNo) function in the SQL query. Because of company restrictions, I can't attach the access database but to give u an idea how the database is stored, I copied the data in sheet2 of the attached workbook. We have to find percentage of batches scanned in sheet1.
I have to import data into Excel from Access (yes, I have to import it to Excel and cannot use Access exclusively). When I import; however, the formatting does not come over correctly, most especially losing the formatting of numbers. I need one of two solutions:
1.) How to get the formatting to move over correctly?
2.) Or how I can save the formatting of a table, then be able to apply it as a "saved" format? The biggest thing is that the numbers will changed the number of decimal places and/or change from general numbers when I want to see them as currency.
The top table shows how i want this formatted, the bottom shows how it is importing.
I put together a little table for one of my LAN based facilities to track their Overtime Savings as compared to each of their individual units. It works great.
What I would like to do is to export the data on a weekly basis to Access. I set up an access table to recieve the data and I can get it all to work just fine except I want the users to just click on a menu item and have the export take place in the background.
I know how to create on the fly menus and get them to accecpt commands from Excel Macros so that is not an issue.
I know how to share data in Excel from Workbook to workbook, closed or open. I'm sure it can be done Excel to Access I just can not for the life of me find anything to jumpstart me in the right direction in either application's help files. Anybody out there linking their Excel data to Access?
The code below (ran from Excel vba) deletes all data from an Access table, paste data from Excel into another table, and then run two Access Macro's and paste data from yet another table back into Excel.
My problem is that when I run the query from Excel, the data returned to Excel is always zero. When I step through the code, and check the Access database, all the steps are carried out properly. E.g, the delete query is deleting all the records in the correct table, the append query is copying the correct data into the correct table in Access. The two macros do run, but then when the resulting table is returned to Excel, it brings back zero's.
Doing all this manually in Access is returning the data correctly.
The two Access macros are running some queries, E.g. the "001 UpdateLatestData" is running two queries and the "002 CreateMonthlyResults" is running about 15 separte queries.
Sub OPENACCESSTABLE_DELETE_ROWS1() Dim db As Object Dim accApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application") oApp.Visible = True oApp.OpenCurrentDatabase DBPath 'Delete Query DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE [001 non motor data].* FROM [001 non motor data]"
Set accApp = GetObject(Access_DB) .........................
I have an excel spreadsheet in which I must sort the data by program and then activity code. From that I need to know the number of consumers by activity code and their total units. I must then graph this by program. I have been debating on whether to use an excel pivot table, break the data in to multiple spreasheets to then graph it or shoud I upload the file into access.
The database I'm working with uses a lot of back end code to take Access tables and format and output them to Excel Files. After the table (FinalLoadCharttoExcel) has been created through the append query AppndFinalLCToExcel, I need to sort the table by the following fields: "Terminal Number," "State," "3 Digit Zip" and "Begin Zip" all in ascending order. I need to do this within the VB code. I wish I knew a way to get a screenshot of the table, but this is what it looks like unsorted:
Terminal Number State 3 Digit Zip Begin Zip 371 MA 011 78 371 MA 011 00 303 LA 701 06 303 FL 328 31 381 MO 716 04
After all the programs run, I need the table to look like
Terminal Number State 3 Digit Zip Begin Zip 303 FL 328 31 303 LA 701 04 371 MA 011 00 371 MA 011 78 381 MO 716 04
