Excel 2007 :: Linked Tables From Access Not Updating?
Jan 5, 2012
In Excel 2007, I have a tables linked from Access 2007. I frequently delete and import a new set of data into Access, then refresh the Excel file. Most of the time this works, but I've noticed sometimes one column doesn't refresh (even though I can see it in Access). If I modify the field name in the Access query, then refresh the table in Excel the newly named field is added in the in the last column of the table with current data. The column that wasn't refreshing stays the same.
When I originally created the link in Excel, I added various columns with formulas, but do not edit the columns that are imported from Access.

I am receiving this error:

I have a CSV that I have a excel macro created to do some formatting and then export the data into Access. that part works. I also have it checking for duplicate entries and skipping them. The problem that i run into is that not all my duplicates are truly duplicate, there have been updates and now i need to update Access. I have 2 fields, my primary key which is what I'm primarily matching on and then I'm checking if its been updated by checking another field "Last Changed" If this field doesn't match then I need to update the record.
At this point I'm trying to use a SQL UPDATE and I now believe that i have it formatted correct but when it gets to a record that needs to be updated I get an error: Run-time error '-2147217887 (80040e21)': The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key or relationship. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. the only other thing i could think to do would be to check each field to see if it has changed and just run the query against that but I feel like i would run into the same issue.
This is how I'm connecting to Access:
Code:
strTableName = "TableName"
strDBLocation = "xxxxuserhomexxxxxxxxxxxxDatabaseDatabase Backend.accdb"
strConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & strDBLocation & ";"
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open strConnect
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open strTableName, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
And this is the Query I'm using:
Code:
strSQL = "UPDATE " & strTableName & " "
strSQL = strSQL & "SET [Work Order ID] = '" & Range("B" & r).Value & "', "
strSQL = strSQL & "[JOBSTATUS] = '" & Range("C" & r).Value & "', "
strSQL = strSQL & "[SUBSTATUS] = '" & Range("D" & r).Value & "', "
strSQL = strSQL & "[Job Status] = '" & Range("E" & r).Value & "', "
strSQL = strSQL & "[STATUSDATETIME] = #" & Range("F" & r).Value & "#, "
[Code] ..........
The SQL code sits in a loop with an IF so it shouldn't execute every time and I plan on once i get this working to revisit this code and try to optimize it but that is not a priority currently.
I'm using both Excel 2007 and Access 2007 on XP.

Bar those who don't believe/celebrate in Christmas, Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations.
I have two sets of data, lets call them 2013 and 2014. I have a Spreadsheet already set up in excel, but currently I just past this information into a tab in excel (which isn't ideal at all), and given the data is growing, is slowing down my excel spreadsheet a lot.
I have some experience with Access, SQL and queries.
What I have done thus far is to link my Access DB with Excel, run a query and paste the resulting table from the query into excel all using VBA (easy peasy).
The problem i have is that the table is still linked, and i do not want or need it to be linked. I know that there is a "Unlink" Option, which is not what i need, and also a "Convert to Range" option which is also not what i need, but closer. This got me thinking, is it possible to import the data into an array (all in VBA in excel from the query in the SQL) and then i can paste that information into my Excel spreadsheet, or is there a better method?

I have 2 excel workbooks - each containing one table.I have 1 Powerpoint Prtesentation with OLE Links to the 2 tables.
All I want is for any update in the excel tables to show in the running PP Presentation. The annoying part is when I set up the linked objects, everything works perfectly and any changes in the excel files update real time in the PP presentation.
As soon as I close the excel file and reopen though, from thereon in I have to update the links manually.
Things I have tried:
A PP Add in called "Update Links" which updated the OLE links on every rotaion of the show. This would be a fine workaround if it didn't stop the slideshow if/whenever someone was updating one of the source files with the "file is already open..." message...So set both source files to shared as PP will only be reading the data anyway. Still the error appears.Inserting some code into PP:
Code:
Sub linkupdate() Dim osld As Slide Dim oshp As Shape For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides For Each oshp In osld.Shapes If oshp.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then oshp.LinkFormat.Update Next oshp Next osld End Sub
All I want to do is update the links without stopping the slideshow. I have tried numerous PP approaches, but maybe there is an Excel solution that will update links automatically on each save.

I am using the Format as Table feature in 2010 and I am summing a range of cells (C2, D2 and E2) with the result in F2. I have linked F2 three rows below the table in cell C5.
When I add new data in the 3rd row in the table feature I can get an updated result in F3 but my linked cell does not update as it is now pushed to cell C6.
How can I have the linked cell update with the new total from cell F3 as it moves relative to the table?

i have a excel file which has a formatted pivot table which displays customers by country in row A 2 down to 36 with approx 36 customers in the values field i have volumes by alarms and tickets along the column labels it shows the previous 7 days with date and then the alarms and tickets in each row. My problem is i am trying to find the code or location where i can change the only bring back 7 days data to another value. i have searched all connection properties and definitions. I know there is a value somewhere that allows you to change this number to say from 7 days to 30 days. If you click on the column labels for date it shows the dates back 3+ years but it still if i tick more than 7 days only show 7 in the table.I have image if needed

I currently use a function very similar to this one with a SELECT query to return a field to excel. I have modified this into an UPDATE query to update a field.
I am getting errors at this point:
Code:
If adoRS.BOF And adoRS.EOF Then
DBNoteUpdate = "Value not Found"
Else
DBNoteUpdate = "Action Confirmation"
I believe this area of code was to trap the error that occurs when the lookup field name was not found in the table. I left it in because I still want to trap if the record I am trying to update is not found in the table.
Here is the full code:
Code:
Public Function DBNoteUpdate(RecordNumber As String, _
UpdateTableName As String, _
UpdateNote As String) As Variant
Dim adoRS As ADODB.Recordset
If adoCN Is Nothing Then SetUpConnection
[code].....
The code does work, in that the record is being sucessfully updated by the SQL statement, but its erroring at the point I described above with the error:
Code:
Runtime Error '3704':
Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.
how 'adoRS' is closed at that point because the call to close is right at the end of the function?

I'm trying to use VBA to automatically change the data displayed in an excel chart. To do this I count the number of items displayed on the chart using Chart.Seriescollection.Count. I then loop over the Chart.Seriescollection(x) and try to change the Chart.Seriescollection(x).Formula string to link to the cells I want.
Problem is that, sometimes, the cells the curve is currently linked to are empty. Such a curve does show up in the Count, but I can't access the .Formula, even though this can be done manually from within Excel.

I've been trying to make this work for hours and hours and am finally giving up. Most of this code was found on the internet and I've attempted to make it work for my project but I keep getting errors. I use VBA with Excel quite often but never with Access before. Currently I am getting an "Object doesn't support this property or method" error at rs.Findfirst.
I have an excel worksheet that mimics the access table with five fields, an ID field, lastName, FirstName, DeptID (int), Email. I want to search the Access table for a match on the email field, and if it doesn't find the match, to add a new record using values typed into the excel sheet.
Code:
Sub UpdateDB()
Dim cn As Object
Dim rs As Object

I am using excel 2007
I am attempting to put a drop down list using "Data Validation". I can get it working when my list is on the same sheet (sheet 1) and the column of cells I want the drop down list to show up in....(you know..when the drop down list shows up in each individual cell)......BUT...when I put the list on another sheet (sheet 2) and try to do the "Data Validation" back on sheet 1, excel won't let me go highlight the list on sheet 2.
I even tried writing sheet2 and the range and that still doesnt work.

I'm currently using Excel 2007 to get information from closed workbooks and updating my file.
First of all I create a table on selected range through "Insert table" command having something like this:
Then I have I piece of VBA code that tries to update every single cell of a column in this case it's updating %LD10 column:
But like you can see in first capture, the code updates every single cell with last value of variable fichero, having, at the end, the same value in whole column.

I have to complete his worksheet but now I am in a memory blank. I have the code set up but I guess I have been staring too much at this code...
I have 2 workbooks... One if for data entry and the other one is for a report.
So workbook1: the user will insert information on sheet1 and click a command button that will transfer the information on the next available row in Workbook2.
Workbook2 is strictly for report purpose. So all information transferred from book1 will be in book2.
I need a way, in book1, to have my userform (already set-up) to search for the matching information in my book2 Column A and update the information from my Book1 sheet2.
I have it set up this way:
VB:
Dim wbArchive As Workbook
Dim wsSrc, wsDst As Worksheet
Dim rngSrc, rngDst As Range
Dim rngReqNo As Range
Dim strReqNo As String
[Code] .....

I and my organization have many files created using Excel 2003. I have now upgraded to Excel 2007 and soon I discovered a huge problem.
- When opening a file using Excel 2007 that was created with Excel 2003 the links in that file is automatically updated even though I get the edit links dialog and choose not to update.
After searching for a solution on the Internet I realize that this is a problem that exist when Excel opens a file created in an earlier version. Microsoft has no solution.
I need to be in control of which links that are updated and not.
Going back to excel 2003 is not an option. Saving the source files in Excel 2007 is not an option.

I am creating many tables in excel using a macro, and I want to copy them into a word document for later use. All the tables come from a long list, so for simplicity, they all get created on the same range starting at F1. Before deleting the existing table and adding the new one, I'm trying to copy/cut the table and paste it into a word document.
In case it makes a difference, I have office 2007
VB:
Sub ExcelToWord(LastRow)
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Range("F1:F" & LastRow).Copy
With objWord
.Documents.Add
.Selection.Paste
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub

Example:
Master List (Locations):
London
Drummond
Kentville
Sub List (should look like this):
London #count
Drummond #count

I'm running Microsoft Office 2007.
I have 2 separate tables.. both a list of contacts of sorts.
In one table I have a list of all my clients (table A), in the other I have a list of "preferred" clients (table B).
The contact details etc that are stored in table A are more comprehensive to those in table B.
Effectively, I want to search for all of my preferred contacts from table B and filter for them in table A.
Then ideally I will sort alphabetically and just cut and paste the details into my preferred client spreadsheet.
I had a look online and there was something about creating a "relationship" but I don't think excel 2007 allowed me to do it. I certainly hadn't heard of powerview or powerpivot that they were using!

I saw a previous post regarding using "with (nolock)" in the FROM statement with each table to prevent SQL from locking the tables. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but when I edited a query to add an extra criteria, the query is grinding the server practically to a halt (such power!!). Our IT guy tells me that my query is taxing the server. Maybe I'm not using the NOLOCK correctly?
Here is the query as I'm running it that runs slow. (The additional WHERE statement that I added that created the slow down is this one: ((cicmpy.AccountTypeCode='TSH') AND (oehdrhst_sql.ord_dt>={ts '2013-01-01 00:00:00'}))
Prior to adding this statement and the NOLOCK, the query runs in a flash.
Full query:
SELECT
oehdrhst_sql.ord_type,
oehdrhst_sql.bill_to_no,
cicmpy.AccountTypeCode,
[Code]....

I am new to doing advanced stop with pivot tables. I know how to make one to do very basic things but I have since learned you can add your own calculated fields. I have a list of data that has a line of record for each different day of sales which each guest. There is a lot of information on the sheet but the columns that matter are as follows:
ColA= CustID
ColB= Trips(this field is the same value for each record of the same customer and represents the total number of trips the Cust has) on a side note this field can be removed if it would be easier to just do a count of custid as those are the same thing
ColC= Months(this field is the same value for each record of the same customer and represents the total number of different months the cust made a purchase)
ColD= AmountSpent
I can use a pivot table to show me the total amount spent by Cust real easy. But I would like to add in the two other fields Average per trip and average per month by cust. Is this something that can be done in a calculated field?
I use Excel 07. I know I can run formulas to get the answer I want however due to the shear volume of records being over a million(I know we should use access at this point but the company does not want to) the time it takes the formulas to calculate freezes my computer(need a serious upgrade).

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 attempting to create a template that will utilize data from an Access table, and allow the user to select the parameters in the Excel file. The amount of records in this table is slowing down the Excel file, and I would like to lessen the amount of data that is imported based on the user selection.
The Access table will have three columns:
Part Number|Line|Catalog Code
I would like to import all three columns, but allow the user to select the records imported based on the catalog code.
The users do not have read or write access to the sql tables, so I run an Access query at the end of each day to create an Access table that they can access.
I have 2007 versions.

it's possible to set up conditional formatting to compare values between two identically-formatted (i.e. same row and column) pivot tables?
I have two pivots from two different sources and I want to be able to visually identify discrepancies between the two. Both have dates as the row labels (same date range) and categories as column labels (some categories may not necessarily be present on both pivots but the format of the labels - i.e., the names of the categories - is consistent where there is overlap)
I've tried doing this with 'traditional' CF but whenever I manipulate the pivots (i.e. by selecting / deselecting an item in a report filter), the movement of the columns trashes the formatting and I have to set it all up again.
Figured, given the structure of the tables is essentially the same, there might be a smarter way of doing it (by referencing the pivot fields in some way)

I have two excel files saved on the network. Test1.xls and Test2.xls. Test1 is the source and test2 is the destination.
When i update a cell in test1, this cell is referenced in test2 - so anybody who opens test2 will see the data i changed in test1.
Here's my problem. I need a way to manually update the cell in test2 without having to close and reopen Excel.
Only opening and closing Excel will ask me if i wish to update the data.
How do i force manual update?
Below is the link in test2 using Excel 2003.
='\servernameshare[test1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1

I recently found out about .xlsb, which is faster and file size.. (mainly using it for the improved speed)
Now I've changed all the files at work to .xlsb and now link them all to .xlsm files that i can use to update the links to pull the data from the .xlsb files and then run macros as i need to.
However... I am having some issues with linked cells not updating automatically? is this because if the .xlsb format?
1. my understand was that .xlsb is the same as .xlsx just XML limitations.
2. my excel is set to automatic but i have to manually force it to update (and in some cases need to repoint the cell to the cell in the spreadsheet again).
