View 1 RepliesI have created an example of a "Waiting List" for the college, everything I had done seemed to be working before I left for my holiday (apart from the search facility as I was still doing some problem solving, compiling and coding for it).
The Idea is to : Open Excel Document and be greeted by the "Hello" Userform
[Problem #1: This does not automatically show since I have returned from holiday, though there seemed to be no problem with it prior my escape.]Choose from three options;"Save and Exit" saves any changes on/in the database and closes the document"Insert Data" opens "Userform1" to allow users to enter a new row under the exsisting rows of data.
[Problem #2: The data in the sheet was all entered using this feature, but yet again since I have returned from holiday it keeps adding the data only on row 2]
[Problem #3: How to do Auto Formatting i.e. Postcode in Capital Letters]"Search" will open the "Search" userform which I hope to allow users to choose up to three column headings and enter the value to search that column with the parallel textbox value.
[Problem #4: The data which meets the criteria the most is listed into the listbox, if you select a piece of data (double click or "selected") it opens a new userformThe "Edit/Enrol" Userform allows user to Edit, Enrol or archive the row of data.the last Userform I created "Course" is for an admin of the workbook to choose a course and it be auto populated by the information in the worksheet "Code" and create a Mail Merge.
Not exactly what year of Microsoft Excel we have at work buts its between 2007 to 2010.
Doing our weekly KPI on a friday is super stressful and if there is a way so multiple users can edit the excel spreadsheet at the same time?
Because with our excel spreadsheet only one person can edit the document at a time very frustrating at the end of a day on a friday.
Is it just Microsoft not allowing more than one editor at a time?
How can i break the links in a row of cells but still retian the cell comments thereafter.
At the moment, the comments dissapear after editing the links in excel 2007 that i am using.
Changing the display (foe cells with comments, show) under file-options-advanced has not really worked.
I'm trying to change a cell in a 2007 workbook but I'm getting this message:
"the cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read only. To modify a protected cell or chart first remove the protection using the unprotect sheet command (review tab, changes group) you may be prompted for a password."
However, the unprotect button on the changes group tab is greyed out (the protect button is available though). The workbook isn't password protected and I'm not being asked for a password. What am I missing?
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've inherited an SQL server database which imports data from a multitude of spreadsheets each night. Unfortunately the previous data is not deleted from the database or spreadsheets, so there are duplicated records throughout the database. The method they have been using to get data out is to "select distinct", which gets around the problem (not my preferred solution).
I now need to produce an invoice from the database, so I select distinct records for the previous month (based on date) from, say, the TRUCKING table into a TEMP table, so I can do my calculations from there.
But there are a couple of columns which prevent me from getting only unique records. They are the unique ID column and the TIMESTAMP column they have added.
If I try to select all the individual columns, except for the ID and TIMESTAMP, the string length goes over 256 chars and the query truncates.
So I tried "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM TRUCKING WHERE etc etc" but I get the ID and TIMESTAMP fields, which defeats the purpose, and I get duplicate records.
Is there a way to say, for instance, SELECT ALL EXCEPT the fields I don't want?

I'm trying to query a web site and export the data to a single sheet in Excel. I've used the record macro function in Excel (2007) and come up with the following but I want to query over 20 pages from this site and wondered if there was any way in looping this macro to do the hard work for me;
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://www.futwiz.com/en/players", Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "players_1"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
[Code] ........
On the second page the URL changes to;
URL;FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Players - FUTWIZ
and the .Name field changes to;
.Name = "players?page=1_1"
and on the 3rd page I get;
URL;FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Players - FUTWIZ
and..
.Name = "players?page=2"
I am wanting to create a validation rule so when two cells are added the together the answer must be less than or equal to 14:00 - otherwise a message box will appear
So for example if H7+I7 gives an answer of 13:00 in J7, that's OK, but if the answer is 15:00, the error box will appear. I know that data validation doesnt work on a cell that already has a formula so I'm hoping to use K7 for the Validation and then hide the column
Why this sql query doesn't return values? My excel version is 2007.

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.
i have a worksheet that gets data from web - its automated, but the website goes through a tunnel - with security - requires username and password
the Query Runs ok and smooth but i have to login manually by right clicking on a table where the query is and selecting "Edit Query" so i can login, excel vba doesnt save passwords for that part...
one way i find it possible to automate that part too would be to use maybe like the sendkeys statement to pop up the context menu from right clicking the mouse button, or like the options button on the keyboard.
I found this one:
[Code] .....
It works but the context menu comes exactly from where the current mouse position is..
I needed it to do the right click on a specific range in the worksheet (where the web query is)..
I am using the following code to run a Stored Procedure Query. It works perfect bringing back 4 columns of data. But is it possible to make it so that it only brings back 2 columns of data. I need the 2nd and 4th, which are named "DateOf" and "Gen", respectively. Someway to include a select command?

I'm using Excel 2007, and when I add attachements to a spreadsheet cell (e.g. a saved email) nobody else can open the file when viewing the spreadsheet. Is there a way around this?
Currently I'm inserting it by going Object > Create from File > Browse > Select File > Display as Icon. But if the spreadsheet is emailed to anyone else or put on a staff website nobody can open the attachements.
I've done this before in Excel 2003 but I can't seem to do it in Excel 2007 because the control isn't there in the additional controls list.
In Excel 2003 it was called Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0 and when ticked gave an extra item on the control toolbox which allow you to draw an excel spreadsheet control into a userform.
It's not there in the VBE of Excel 2007 - How to do it in this version?

Very simple Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It consist of four columns with either numeric or alpha data in the. No formulas, no macros etc...
She emailed the spreadsheet to me and it works fine, I can enter data without problems. Whenever she tries to use it she just can't enter any data. She clicks in a cell and it highlights but she doesn't get a cursor and can't enter data. If she tries to click in the area underneath the toolbar to enter data she also does not get a cursor!! It used to work just fine for her but has suddenly stopped!
I've got an Excel 2007 spreadsheet that I want to use to take the attendance in the school where I teach. I've got it more or less the way I want it, but there are 2 improvements I'd like to make:
1. I don't want to have press Enter to go down to the next cell. If a kid is present, I want to press 'p' and automatically be one cell lower.
2. When I open the spreadsheet (which contains multiple worksheets for different classes), I'd like it to open at today's date on the left regardless of which worksheet I go to (I've frozen the first four columns, so I'd like 'today's column' to appear next to them). I've put the dates in row 1. I've put the dates in the format ddd, d/m/y. (I don't know if that info makes any difference, hence I'm including it). I've already looked up some posts on this and copied and pasted a few different suggestions, but none worked.
I have inherited a series of Word reports containing links to charts in several Excel files. I can tell by the link in Word that one of the charts is named 'Chart 6'. Is there an easy way to locate which chart in the Excel file is 'Chart 6' (and on and on for all of the other charts linked in the Word doc)? There are upwards of 21 charts in each Excel file linked to each of the Word reports. I am using 2007 but the files are in 2003 format because of limitations of the program from which the data comes for the charts.

Need a code that sends emails to the intended receipients based on hold codes if Columnd J reads as YES Email formats are listed on "Email Format" tab, code should pick the required field value from the table (Hold Report).
Analyst name, Phone number are entered in the text boxes (data validation for these is desired)
option boxes are used to send email based on the selection as below
if "send initial email without attachment" is selected then emails should be sent without the attachments
if "send initial email with attachment" is selected then emails should be sent with the attachments
Attachments are usually .PDF files and are stored on users desktop with file name as .pdf
if the follow up otion is selected the subject line on the mail should be appended as *** 1st Follow-Up*** along with standard subject line
Rest of the requirement remains same for followup option (same email format is used) based on the option selected, code should be able to send emails with or without attachments. I have provided three command buttons that are intended to work as follows;
Validate data: need to validate the data to ensure that each row has atleast one email address in "TO" column and there are no spaces in the email address.
Clear Data: Should clear the existing data from the table
Send Emails: Should send emails
Standard subject line is a combination as below

View 2 Replies View Related I need to generate a microsoft word document from the data encoded in my excel spreadsheet. I am currently using MS office 2007.
in the Excel Spreadsheet from columns C to F "a) b) c) d)" was not typed but in the word document it automatically appears before the choices encoded in excel. Another thing is that some of the choices typed in the excel spreadsheet are in bold font and I want it to be generated in word document with the bold font as well.
By the way I am planning to use this technique to create a 100 item multiple choice exam for my students as I find using EXCEL to generate the document a lot easier than creating the test manually in WORD.
How to use conditional formatting in Excel 2007 (). I'm creating a spreadsheet to track my group's timeline for completing strategy meetings with our customers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 want to 'repurpose' some of the menus on the Excel 2007 ribbon, in particular to set paste to paste only values. Effectively I need the equivalent of the following for Excel 2007

Application. CommandBars("Edit").Controls.Item("Paste").OnAction = "New_paste"
Application.CommandBars(" Cell").Controls.Item("Paste").OnAction = "New_paste"
End Sub
.
John Walkenbach suggests the following xml code
<customUI xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<commands>
<command idMso="Copy" onAction="New_paste"/>

I've a macro (I recorded) that executes a query (Oracle) and returns rows that exceeds the max (65539). How do I go about adding another sheet therefore allowing the query to continue?
I know how to do it via opening a text file and importing, but do not know how to do it with the use of a query.
