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 currently have several pivot table that's linked to a single pivot table(let's call it X) in the same workbook. I'm doing this to limit the file size because the data in X comes from a text file that has millions of lines. However, it's such a pain every time I need to update the tables because simply clicking "refresh" does not update those tables that are linked to X with new data. I would have to instruct the wizard in every linked table to point to X every time. I'm trying to write a small program to re-point to X for each of those other pivot tables whenever i refresh data. However, after trying to record the steps to do this I'm still unable to run these
I have a workbook created in Excel2003 as an xls with a nuumber of buttons to call macros. I converted it to an xlsm in Excel2007 and now get the message "((#Ref.xls could not be found..." whenever I click any of the macro buttons. Event code in the individual worksheets works fine.
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 have some pivot tables that have the data source in another workbook. I didn't create any external data connections. When I created the first pivot table, I just selected the range from that other workbook. Most of the other pivot tables were copied and modified accordingly, so they should have the same pivot cache.
I have created a macro that basically refreshes all data, using the Workbook.RefreshAll command, then copy/pastes values and then deletes the pivots so that I can send it via e-mail without problems. The macro seems to work fine. The QUESTION relates to the fact that I am afraid VBA won't wait for the refresh to complete before starting to copy/paste values.
The PivotCache.BackgroundQuery = False solution doesn't work. I get 10004 error. Also, there are no data connections visible in the Data > Connections. I guess that, because of this, "Properties" is greyed out in the Data tab and also "Connection Properties" under Pivot Table Tools > Options > Change Source Data is greyed out. This way, I cannot uncheck the "Enable background refresh" box.
I could just tick the "Refresh when opening the file" in Pivot Table options, but if I open the file without first opening the workbook with the raw data, refresh takes very long.
I have tried to measure time difference between the RefreshAll command and a simple Range("C3").Select command. There is a time difference, but I'm still not 100% sure that VBA waits for refresh to complete before continuing.
VB: Do Until Application.CalculationState = xlDone
I am using excel 2007 and when I change cells my formulas do not automatically refresh. I have set it to automatic and the calculations will not refresh. How I can force a calculation. I did the control alt f9 and nothing seems to work. Any macro that can force all calculations.
I have a userform with a textbox and would like the user to type inside the textbox which in turn send the text typed to a cell on my spread sheet say sheet 1 cell ref A1. I am writing the following into the control source Sheet1!A1 but the control source does not except this. I am using excel 2007 .
Is there a way to freeze your pivot table format after clicking for a ' Refresh'. I'm getting tired reformatting my column headers to wrap or in the middle etc. I'm working in Excel 2007.
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
I am trying to create a dynamic sub-table on another sheet from a master list in excel 2007. Where the master list size can change and have this reflected in the sub-table. I cannot use pivot tables.
Example: Master List (Locations): London Drummond Kentville
Sub List (should look like this): London #count Drummond #count Kentville #count
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.
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;
I have two pivot tables on the same worksheet, tied to different tables, but both have a "date" column. When I change the date in either tables Report Filter this code does change the page field in the other one, but the data does not refresh. My primary table is PivotTable2, once I can get this working I would hide that report filter in PivotTable1.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Application.ScreenUpdating = False PivotMacro PivotMacro1 Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
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 a pivot table linked to a moving dataset, so I want to refresh it every 10 minutes. I can find the option to do this but it is greyed out. How do I enable it? (Excel 2003)
I have this worksheet with 2 buttons and 2 textboxes.the first button is named search literally to search the items inputted in the textboxes and the second button is clear which clear all the inputted items in the textboxes and the search field. I manage to code those things however I have a main problem. How am I suppose to linked a checkbox with those items?
For example I searched this particular item so the checkbox corresponding to that item must show up in the left most column of it. and if I searched multiple items those checkboxes must show up too. I am having a hard time coding and trying since I am new in vba. I also attached a sample worksheet. I am using excel 2007.
I am trying to use a pivot table to track the number of H, M, and L difficulty projects carried by each employee. The pivot table appears to set itself up correctly, listing the names of each employee and recognizing that the possible entries are H, M, and L. The attached image "Capture" shows the results of one project leader.
The problem I have is that it does not show correct project totals, it shows "0" for every entry. For example, instead of showing "15" H level projects for BGa, it shows "0".
If I manually enter an "L" into the overview sheet instead of a link to a cell in the individual project spreadsheet, that entry will show up in the pivot table totals. In the attached image, I manually entered 4 L level entries into the project, but there are several more H,M, and L ranked entries assigned to this employee that aren't included in the sum. I have tried using "Count" and "Sum" in the pivot table properties without success.
I have this code in an active worksheet that works with the exception that when I try refresh other Pivot Tables with the file that it goes into a constant loop.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) ' ' Update the pivot table on this worksheet if data in columns A or B is changed ' If (Target.Column = 1) Or (Target.Column = 2) Then ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1).RefreshTable End If End Sub
I'm hoping to automate some pivot table refreshes. I've got a dozen pivot tables on a sheet all with different numbers. I'm hoping I can write a code that loops through the pivot table names and runs the refresh. Here is the code as it is right now. I've essentially copied, pasted, and changed the name of the pivot table for the refresh.
I would like to create an array in vba (22,21,20,19,18...) that renames the PivotTable and runs the code.
sub Refresh () Dim pt4 As PivotTable Dim Field4 As PivotField Dim NewCat4 As String
I have a dashboard that I created that is driven off one source of data. I have several lists and pivots created from that single source. I have two cells that are driven off of lists that then drive the pivot table. When a user selects an item from the drop down list I would like the pivot table to update. I have two tables like this on the main dashboard. Once the user selects the first data point, the table refreshs as does the second drop down list. After they select the second data point, the second privot table will refesh. Manually everything works prefectly, but when I attempt to automate it with VBA, it will only update the initial pivot and the secondary list, but not the second pivot.
I have posted the current code below.
"SelDept1" and "Wave" are the two cells that contain the drop down lists.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application. ScreenUpdating = False
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?
This is the first time I’ve tried to use VBA. I’m using Excel 2000. In my excel workbook have 1 sheet called “Cards” in which I Change data in one cell $B$2 (enter a part number) and formulas in this sheet return many values from another sheet “Card Data”. In the “Card Data” sheet, formulas that look through a sheet “Sales Book” and return the data that pertains to the Part Number I entered in the sheet “Cards”. In the sheet “Card Data” there are 3 pivot tables (“PH CALC”, “PH QTY”, and “Pivot Table 3”) that use the Part Number data to show 3 different sets of information. The pivot tables are the source for 3 charts in the “Cards” Sheet.
Problem: Pivot tables don’t automatically refresh. I would like to use VBA code to automatically refresh the pivot tables in the “Card Data” sheet when I change the Part Number in cell $B$2 of the “Cards” sheet, which, in turn, would then update my charts in the “Cards” sheet.
When we create a database in an Excel Spreadsheet and then some pivot tables, we use to copy the spreadsheet with another name, in order to clean the data and update it with another date (for instance, one excel spreadsheet for one BU or country, another one for other bU or country), to avoid creating the pivot tables again and again.
However, when we clean up all the data and enter the new one, on the Pivot Tables fields, you still see the "old data that was deleted"... Do you know if there is a way to delete that data without recretaing the pivot table?
I have 2 drop downs that when changed, auto refresh all pivot tables. My problem is getting the columns to auto-adjust based on the refresh or change of the data in the pivot table. Listed below the code I have thus far for the auto-refresh on pivot tables. How to auto expand all columns simultaneously.
The pivot tables are based off of tables on a different sheet(TOS Tables). So the code listed below is in the table sheet, not the pivot table sheet (TOS Customer Level). So followup question will be, which sheet to put the auto-expand columns code?
VB: Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() 'If data on this worksheet changes, refresh the pivot table Sheets("TOS Customer Level").PivotTables("PivotTable2").RefreshTable Sheets("TOS Customer Level").PivotTables("PivotTable5").RefreshTable End Sub
Using Excel 2010. I'm writing a macro that sets up a workbook to be used for estimating at the beginning of a project. In the code I need to create multiple tables (formerly known as "lists") in the workbook. Then later in the code I need to refer back to those newly created tables. Currently, the code that creates the table is part of a loop that creates the table on many different worksheets. The problem of course, is that I have to name the Table, and then it won't create a table of the same name on the next sheet. Then, later in the code, I need to make adjustments to the table that was just created before looping to the next sheet.
Is there a way to create a table without giving it a constant name? Or by giving it a name that builds off of other info in the sheet? For example, I would be good with the naming the table after the sheet name: "Sheet1_Table" or such.
Code: Sub Auto_Open() ' Dim sht As Worksheet If Range("A1") = 1 Then
I hope I can explain what I am trying to accomplish properly. Many years ago (5+), I had this exact workbook setup, but am having a lot of difficulty remembering VB & Excel and making this again from scratch.
I am looking to create an Excel Workbook. The workbook will contain numerous tabs, each tab will essentially be a template, and contain basic formulas.
On tab 1(Sheet1), I would like to have a listbox. The individual items in the listbox, should have the same name of, and be linked to all tabs in the workbook.
There will also be three buttons.
Button1 - Generates the names in the listbox based on existing tabs within the workbook Button2 - Opens a new workbook, and copies over the selected tabs (AKA - creates a working copy of the workbook) Button3 - Clears the selection and resets the listbox.
The number of tabs, and contents of tabs, within the workbook will be changing. So the listbox should know to look for all tabs, be it 5, or 50.
The end result would allow someone, who knows nothing of Excel, to open this workbook, as a read-only file. Generate a list of available tabs, select the tabs they need, generate a new workbook containing these tabs, that they can then edit to suit their needs.
In my line of work (and I am sure everyones) there is a huge problem with consistancy. This leads to a snowball effect of problems carrying over, and being copied from one project to the next. As I mentioned earler, I once already had this workbook setup, and it solved all our consistancy problems. I am hoping to do the same.
