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 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 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).
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.
Using Excel 2007.I have references set for Microsoft ADO Ext 2.8 for DDL and Security and Microsoft AciveX Data Objects 2.7 Library.

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 a workbook with a protected sheet, some cells locked others unlocked, which the users continually update. The problem is some of the unlocked cells are becoming locked, preventing the users from carrying out their role.
I couldn't figure out how they were doing this until I saw Powered Convoy's thread Prevent Unlocked Cells Becoming Locked Via Copy/Paste. This occurs when pasting from another application.
My question is as the title, how best to prevent unlocked cells in a protected sheet from being locked by the user?
I could try to write VBA to intercept all the different ways of pasting data, 5 that I can think of, but was hoping someone else has come across this flaw and has a better or easier solution.
I have pieced together a VBA script to create a pivot table. Which is all great and works fine BUT for some reason it is now forcing the table onto a new worksheet. see code below, why it might be creating a new sheet. Alsothe sheet Worksheets("TICKETS BY OWNER & DAY") does exist.
Code: ' HERE WE CREATE THE PIVOT TABLES AND CHARTS FOR REPORTS Dim WSD1 As Worksheet Dim WSD2 As Worksheet Dim WSD3 As Worksheet
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 want to create a macro that changes the calculation when opening excel to calculating without updating tables. When I first open excel, the file takes a while to update because it is updating tables, and I want to prevent this. Any ideas? Also, I already have the following code, but this only changes the workbook once its already opened:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.Calculation = xlSemiautomatic End Sub
I have a file with numerous data tables that slows down the file significantly due to it's large size. I would like to set the calculation method to Manual, but also be able to manually turn the tables on and off so that they don't slow the file down when I hit F9 to calc. Is there a formula or method to accomplish this? BTW, I can't use VBA.
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
why is pivot table changing numbers to dates. It was fine all along, numbers retained the fromat of source data and now, all numbers in field columns are turning into dates. is there a setting I can change to prevent excel from reformatting numbers to dates?
I have been assigned the task of creating our new integrated time and leave sheet in Excel 2007, previously we had 2 sheets, one for times and one for leave.
The problem I have is that I need to protect the authorisaton columns therre are 2 one for AM and one for PM, so that only Managers can authorise leave by inputting a password and then initialing the leave.
What I then need to do a the end of each month is for the manager to be able to click a Button with a Macro which will then lock the whole worksheet so that employees cannot change their times after the manager has checked the sheet.
I can lock the authorisation columns and password protect but I have to enable protection on the sheet, when I do this I cannot then figure out a way of running a macro which will then protect the whole sheet and assign a password to it so it cannot be changed after being checked and signed off.
I have tried to create a macro (button) to remove the protection on the 2 columns and then reapply protection to the whole sheet with another button but to no avail.....
If anyone has any suggestions I would be eternaly greatful.
Passwords on the sheet for the different buttons are abc or cobra.
The new table feature of Excel 2007 is IMO the best improvement over the 2003 version.
I have 3 questions about references to these tables:
1) When you reference to a cell in a table on the same row, you get the reference "#This Row". Why isn't there a "#This Column" reference?
2) Normally when you want to "fix" a reference to a cell you use the $ sign by hitting F4 (i.e. A1 -> $A$1). How can you do this with tables (Column1 will not change to $Column1 when hitting F4)?
3) When I have = sum(Column1) above Column1 and I drag this to a cell above Column2 I get =sum(Column2). However, when I have the formula {=sum(Column1)} this doesn't work. Why?
I have the following code and I can't work out how to fix it. What i want is for the macro to create the pivot table from the "used range" in a worksheet but I want it to be formatted as a 2007 pivot table. The reason I say this I because I have some 2003 code which works very well which is where the idea of this come from but it doesn't seem to work here. I have highlighted the problem in orange, I know the rest of the code works because when I replace the orange bit with
"Raw Data!R28868:C33" it works.
Sub CreatPivot() Dim wksdata As Worksheet Dim rngdata As Range Dim wksdest As Worksheet Dim pvtTable As PivotTable Set wksdata = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Raw Data") Set rngdata = wksdata.UsedRange.........................
If I create a Workbook in Excel 2003 with Pivot Tables when I open it in 2007 the Pivot Table are no longer there. It look like the Pivot has been converted to Data only. Are there any ways of correcting this?
I recently posted a thread on locking one cell if another had a value in it, and vice versa for the other cell. I got this great response (thanks se1429!) and it works GREAT, but I failed to mention that the worksheet is password protected. It asks for a password when I enter a value in one of the cells. I just need help adjusting this code so I can put my password in the code and allow the worksheet to unlock and lock at will by using this password.
Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?
Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?
In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?
The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.
I am trying to prevent a document from being printed unless certain cells are filled in. I am new to VB and just want to know the code. I have 36 fields that need information to be filled in.
I'm currently creating a workbook whereby I have (regrettably) highlighted entire columns and formatted these columns to show borders. The reason I did this was because drawing them in manually (I thought) would take much longer with the way the worksheet is laid out.
Obviously highlighting the entire column has meant that borders were drawn all the way down to the bottom row of the workbook, and so the vertical scroll bar cannot effectively be 'dragged' up and down as even a tiny movement will cause it to scroll right past the worksheet.
I have tried running a macro to clear contents and formatting for all the unused rows, but the scroll bar remains to be a pain.
I want the scroll bar to only scroll down to a few cells below the available work space like it should do.
Is there a way in Excel (2010) to lock data from being entered into cells based on the value in another cell? Here is an example:
Row 4 contains dates from 2015-2030 as a header starting at column C (C4 and on) that represents years of revenue. Column B contains dates as well, this date can be any year but this becomes the driver for the data input in columns C through X. Column B contains the "Delivery Date"
Data is input in Columns C and so forth. The issue becomes that let's say that the date in C4 is 2016 and this is the beginning year. Obviously there should be no inputs for 2015 (C5) and the data should start to be input for this year at 2016 (C6). Often people just begin filling in the first available year not looking at what the year actually is.
Is there a way to add a formula or some logic/protection to prevent inputs in previous rows based on the values in column B? So if the value in column B is XXXX than there can be no inputs in cells less than that value?
