I am working on Excel 2010. I want to find a way to link data from one spreadsheet to another one and whenever I update the first spreadsheet, the second one will be automatically updated?
View 2 RepliesI have a Excel Spread Sheet which has been created, there will be 4 people in 4 different locations who will have access to this spreadsheet and will need to update/amend it through "Dropbox", my question/problem is, how can I link the 4 spreadsheets where information will be updated by one person, but will update all 4 sheets at the same time.
Is this possible and how do I go about it?
I use 2010 and I will try and I need to complete a relatively simple project that I am working on.
I have a range of cells, "D7:Q30". This range has numerical values that are updated automatically (every cell within the range has a numerical value) from an "old value" to a "new value". The refresh rate is not constant, that is the values may change at any time depending on when a value changes I think it is called "pushed" data. Once a value is updated ("new value"), it stays at that value until one of the updates changes its value (and then it becomes the "old value").
I would like a message box to display the following EACH TIME A CELL CHANGES ITS VALUE when the NEW updated value is LESS THAN the OLD value:
"B51, B52, **5, has a changed value from "old value" to "new value".
The ** above in the message box represents the following: If for example cell F23 changes, ** in the message box should be the value that is in cell F5. If Q10 changes, the ** value in the message box should be Q5. It will always be the value in Row5 but have a different column depending on where the change is detected.
B51 is the text value in B51..same for B52 (text) etc...these values change depending on what spreadsheet I have open, but will always be in those cell positions. But the values within the range D7:Q30 are always numeric.
I have created a spreadsheet that displays new dates in column D based on provided dates in Column B and recurrence intervals selected in column C. The dates in column D are when a training deadline occurs. I have been trying to get a macros written so that when a cell in column d is updated, an outlook appointment message is sent to the person doing the updating. The idea here is that anyone can use this without future coding (so their address would be placed in cell say A1)
So far all i have gotten is excel to send an email to me with the excel spreadsheet as an attachment, not really what I want. Again, I dont want somethign specific to my computer settings, I want to be able to send the spreadsheet out with simple instructions for the user to change their email in cell A1 and then every time a cell changes in column D, it automatically generate an appointment reminder for the new date.
I have a parent spreadsheet with raw data(with errors) and a child spreadsheet without errors. I want to merge the child into parent. (:{). I am thinking of comparing multiple columns from each sheet to ensure maximum accuracy. And when those columns match up we paste the corrected column data from child sheet to parent one. I am using windows 7 and Excel 2010.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am very new to using excel and I need connecting the information between two sheets. I have a weekly schedule that I want to use for my employees. I want that information to automatically be moved to a daily schedule. I need to be able to see how many openers closers and mid-shifts I have and how many hours I am consuming from my budget. I want the shifts from the schedule to be moved to the daily schedules in order in chronological order (morning shifts first, then mid-day/closers). If at all possible how I would like to have the span of their shift to be highlighted in the cells on the daily schedule.I will attach what I have so far to provide as much info as possible.

In Excel 2010, spreadsheet with part # in column A and customer code in column B. Many part numbers have more than one customer buying the part.
I need to rearrange the information in the example below, where there are two part numbers:
Part Cust
334 CCC
334 CHD
334 CIL
401 CIL
Looks like the layout below, where there are still 2 columns, part # and customer, but with the customer(s) concantenated in column B:
Part Cust
334 CCC, CHD, CIL
401 CIL
Can this be done with any wizard type tool (pivot table, etc)? I am sure it could be done with VBA.
I work with Excel 2010 and have a very large spreadsheet with data that I need to manipulate in several different ways. I have been filtering and then cutting and pasting but this is very time consuming . Is there a way to extract specific data from the spreadsheet and transfer it to different worksheets? I don't really know how to use macros.

I have been tasked with streamlining a process to collect data from a specific online website (Web of Science) and import it into an Excel 2010 spreadsheet.
Currently they are going to the website, entering a short number of search parameters and then manually recording the pertinent data from the webpage. They would like to be able to enter a keyword in Excel (which acts as the search item) which then automatically does the rest of the process and provides them with a spreadsheet of the required data.
Is this possible? Perhaps by using Visual Basic code within Excel? I also saw a method that employed SharePoint Server 2010.
I have a `master` listing that has a list of material on it.
Lets call it test.xls
Each employee has their own work work-book with only one sheet inside the work book, lets call this test1.xls
I want users to be able to add information in test1.xls and the list test.xls automatically gets updated
I have a word template that gives a popup when started for the user to fill out. At present this is okay, but it is hard to maintain. So what I want is to be able to add all needed information in Excel - since our tools have the possibility to export my needed info to this.
I have a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 named 'Input TR'. This info I want in the popup macro in word. When choosing name from a dropdown menu - I want Excel to give me the choices instead of having it in the coded macro. After I have choosen the name - I want the product belonging for this name in the 'Product/Service:' dropdown menu, e.g Test 1 will give the value 1...5. (I will only be able to choose one of them)
Today - everything is coded in the word2010 macro, and thus difficult to maintain.
I work for an insulation company and we have all of our jobs, completed and in progress, on a master worksheet.
Currently there are 437 rows of data (but will increase), and columns A to N with various bits of data.
Row A is a location field - there are 5 locations currently.
I would like to be able to add a new line at the bottom of the master sheet, and then this automatically identifies the location from column A and which worksheet is it to be copied to and then copies the data from that new row to the bottom of the relevant location sheet.
I would also like to be able to update the data in the existing entries (e.g. when a job has been assessed initially, and then completed, I need to put the dates in) and for this to update on the relevant worksheet.
Each worksheet has the same format (columns A to N have the same headings in row 1, then data to begin in row 2).
I wouldn't say I'm an advanced Excel user (otherwise I wouldn't be asking this question), but I do have a fairly good working knowledge of it. Currently using Excel 2010. Would ideally like to be able to do it without VBA as it needs to be uploaded to Google Docs and for others in the company to access online.
I want to create a communication excel sheet. I want it in such a way that if any one of the team member make update and save the file, then the whole team should receive an email that the file has been updated.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI created a slick little excel sheet with the data coming in automatically via Access query. It has been working fine for months. Now all of the sudden there are a bunch of cells with missing data. The weird part is it's not as if whole columns are missing data, more like 90% missing. When I go to Access and run the query all cells are populated as the should be. There have been no changes to the query at all during this time.
btw...I am running Office 2010
Pivot Chart. I would like to set up something to where a user can click on an individual value on a pivot chart (currently a line chart set up with 4 data series) and somehow display some underlying data. I have a lot of information stored in a data worksheet that I can't display all at once, but if a user sees a questionable data point, he/she can click and learn more about it from source data, or even a new query of the data worksheet.

I have a question about using conditional formatting in excel (2010); I made a table with the following columns:
"Supplier Name" "Supplier Lead Time" "Internal Lead Time" "Total Lead Time". I made two different scenarios to show different supplier lead times and different internal lead times, and used the minimum function in the "Total Lead Time" column to find the smallest total lead time to select the best supplier.
The last thing I would want to do with this set of data, is plug in a formula that would somehow indicate which supplier corresponds to the shortest total lead time (which supplier has the smallest supplier lead time). I'd like to be able to use a formula that enters the name of the supplier in a designated cell, which I could indicate as the "Preferred Supplier" cell. If this is not possible perhaps there is a way to highlight the supplier's name with conditional formatting?
I have one excel 2010 workbook with 5 work sheets, each work sheet contains a list with first/last name(one column) and the company name, some have a 3rd column with their email address in each sheet represents each year starting at 2008 thru to 2013 i have to find out if the people that attended an event in 2008 also attended it in 2009/10/11/12/13 and if they didnt, put their name and company name onto a blank worksheet within the same workbook without using a macro, how can i do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2010 and I applied a Data Filter to a simple table. I then messed around with the drop downs in each column, sorting the data by different criteria. After doing this, is there a simple way to get the table to revert back to its original order/form?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2010. I am a novice user.
I have a lot of data to filter / sort. I want to initially to create a filter for a column of data - which has the format similar to hierarchical paths to files. The data is a mix of text/numbers. e.g.
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_254__5_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_253__5_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_255__5_0/d
[Code] .........
Doing an alphabetical sort of this date would return the following order. As you can see while each strings in unique - there are many instances where they are simialr - if you ignore the unique numeric values at the end of the string.
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_230__6_0/d
[Code] ......
So what I want to do is to create a filter for the strings - but ignoring the numeric bits at the end i.e.
reg_[0-9]+_+[0-9]+/d
The strings are obviiously of varying length and the number of hierarchical paths is different, so I can't split string on "/".
Similarly folder paths names can contain "_" so can't split string on this either.
As I don't know how many "/" or "-" instances there will be in the string I don't believe I can use the find function. Also as the amount of number will be different i don't think I can use =right(a1,X) either.
I may be able to search for the pattern above - as this is probabay unique - so maybe it's something like the following pseudo code:
Function GetString(txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Pattern = "reg_d+(_)+d+//d"
GetString = .execute(txt)(0)
End With
End Function
If I do require VBA code - how do I then use this for creating a column filter? Or will I have to extract the filtered data first from the column (and its associated row data) into another worksheet to use?
Once I have the filter in place I want to create tables using the filtered data - so for example each column value above has a lot of associated data values in each row e.g
26 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
32 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
8 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
So my table would show the name "data_out_reg" and the range of values 8-32
I have a workbook with data on sheet1 and a summary on sheet 2. I want to use two drop down boxes on sheet 2 (B3 and B6) to look up matching data from sheet 2. What formula is best to enable these two look_up values to be used? I saw an example where the two values were separated by a comma within {} i.e. {B2,B6}, but only got an error when I entered the formula into my Excel 2010 sheet.
I have previously used VLOOKUP, but this comes back saying I have to many arguments. I can attach the workbook if that makes it easier to explain.
I have a problem converting hourly data into daily data for electricity import capacity. My file has the following form:
| Connection | Date | Period | Available (capacity) | Where 'Connection' identifies the physical location of the capacity (4 possibilities, Germany -> Netherlands; Norway -> Nehterlands; Belgium -> NL; UK -> NL), 'Date' refers to the date, Period refers to hour of the day (e.g. 18:00-19:00) and 'Available' refers to the import capacity of electricity on that conncetion during that hour. I need daily aggregates and tried several things such as DSUM but I cannot manage I've shortened the attached file quite a bit because of the upload size restriction. I am using Excel 2010. I've tried some suggestions in similar topics but none worked for me.
getting data externally from web and also keeping the previous data prior to the refresh.
My external table/data has 10 rows reporting values per day (10 days data table).
I can link the table to my sheet, however what I can not do is to create an offlinek, year to date table in the sheet which captures the rolling 10 days (everytime it is refreshed) without losing the prior days.
For ex:
External bank Data
Day Ratio
02/05/2014 0.15%
02/04/2014 0.13%
02/03/2014 0.14%
01-31-2014 0.23%
01-30-2014 0.16%
01-29-2014 0.16%
01-28-2014 0.18%
01-27-2014 0.19%
01-24-2014 0.19%
01-23-2014 0.21%
Above table changes on a daily basis, only reporting the last ten days.
How can I capture this data on a rolling basis, i.e. in a year to date format, so that everytime I refresh, the internal table gets updated with the new data.
I would need Excel to compare rows between two worksheets (A & B), and if there are any:
(1) new rows in A, to copy across the new rows onto B.
(2) updated rows in A, to copy the updated data onto B replacing existing B values.
This in itself would be simple. Only thing is, worksheet B would be subtotaled and sorted by the subtotal and this is something I wonder if Excel can cope with. BTW I wouldnt mind it if subtotals in B has to be undone before the data gets updated, so long if Macro automates it for me. Is this possible or am I asking for too much? A representative excel file is as attached.
I'm using a macro to insert a photo in to a Excel 2010 workbook. If the photo moves location it will no longer display the photo in the document as I belive the photo is being referenced instead of embedded.
If you then use the "Change Picture" icon the photo embeds but how do I get my macro to embed the photo.

I am using Excel 2010. I am creating a flowchart which will require formulas. Unfortunately the flowchart connectors work best with text boxes rather than the cells. To make this method work, data will be entered into the text-boxes and will be calculated into other text boxes. Basically I need the data I enter into a text box to automatically fill itself into a cell in the background. I know there may be other ways to do this whilst not using text boxes at all, but I will not be using them.
I can fill a text-box from a cell by using F2 on the textbox and then typing =A1 etc, but I am having a hard time going the other way - getting a cell to fill from the value in the text box.
I have a worksheet with several data validation dropdowns that each link to a series of hyperlinks. When you click the dropdown and select the hyperlink, it opens up that particular file. All of these work, except for one of the dropdowns. Even though I can see and select the names, the link is NOT activated.
Is there some obscure excel feature that I am not aware of that is preventing this one from working? Why would this be?
Excel 2007.
However, I have got an Excel file which contains a lot of information. There are four sheets with large Pivot Tables.
But the thing is, the plan is to do the tables much larger, create tables which more specifically shows information. When doing so, the tables will show much more information, and therefore be much larger. It will be difficult to read and understand the tables because of the large amount of information.
What I want is to store information in, for example, another program such as Microsoft Access. There, I can put a huge amount of information and then link it to Excel, so that in Excel I only see the Access stored information when I "search" for it with y created slicers. Like, when I use my slicers and click on one category it sort out and shows me the information i want, even though it's stored in Access. It only shows it in Excel when I "ask" for it. This is what I have thought.
Scenario: I have a worksheet full of ~360 tasks. Tasks are broken down into phases, have owners, and have status'. I leverage a pivot table to easily sort my data by owner, or by status. When reviewing the pivot table with others we want to update the raw data. This entails changing worksheets and scrolling to the task in question.
I'm looking for an easier way to update the raw / original data.
Options I've tried to pursue but have come up empty:
Option 1: Excel modification? Is there a setting in Excel 2007 that would allow me to change a value in my pivot table and have it propagate to the original data set (another Excel worksheet)? So far the answer seems to be "no". Is this possible?
Option 2: Hyperlink from Pivot Table to Raw data field.
- I cannot create hyperlinks within PivotTable data cells.
- I have used the "hyperlink()" function OUTSIDE of my pivot table, along w/ a "match()" on a key field in my pivot table to create hyperlinks back to my raw data... But this is prone to breaking.
- Is there a way to enable hyperlinks from within a Pivot Table? I have seen other requests from individuals that had a pivot table with actual hyperlinks (e.g. [URL]...) and they could not 'activate' them.
Option 3: Tool Tip VBA Form w/ Link?
- If I can't create hyperlinks directly in the table, then how about a function so then when i click (mouse over?) a pivot table cell a form appears with a hyperlink back to the source data?
Option 2 and 3 Assume that there's an way to get at the underlying location of the raw data (e.g. "Pivot Table Worksheet!E10" comes from "RawData!C4". I've dug through some VBA documentation at Microsoft.com but came up empty. I know this link must exist behind the scenes - In Excel 2007 when you mouse-over a pivot table cell Excel displays: "Row - Phase - Owner - Status", which is directly out of the raw data table/worksheet. [[This was an incorrect assumption... When i looked at the pivot table tool-tip closer I realize it was just walking through my data :'( row.
What is the VBA Code to revel the source cell? If i can get at that data, (and hyperlinking can be turned on w/in the pivot table...) then I can easily write a script to walk through the pivot table and create links back to the raw data... Not a perfect solution - but it takes away the need to search through the source data for the row I want.
I cannot solve with Excel 2010 and I have searched all over for the answer.
I have sales data that is approximately daily and would like to count the monthly data and summarize it as an average for the month in a separate column.
For example, I would like to turn this:
3/2/2005 $xxxx
3/5/2005 $xxxx
3/20/2005 $xxxx
4/2/2005 $xxxx
4/10/2005 $xxxx
Into this:
March 2005- $xxxx (monthly average)
April 2005- $xxxx (monthly average)
I have a feeling some 'countif' formula would work but I am not sure how to do this.
I have researched a problem I am experiencing in Excel 2010 and have had problems in the past with previous versions. It seems that occasionally I run across a link that just refuses to break. During my research I have found some reports that this may be linked to the "Name" function. !!!Bing!!! the light comes on. When I copied my template to my new folder and tried to cut and paste data into it I got a message saying something like "A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "...", which already exists on the destination worksheet." and I opted to replace the existing name with the new one.
Apparently I created an external link at that point and one that cannot now be broken unless I delete my named range and start over the naming process. I mention this here because I see lots of people having this problem and the stock answer is to goto the Edit Links menu and attempt to break the link. Try as they and I might, this doesn't work. I also saw a post about it being a phantom validation problem and that too panned out although I can see how the validation could be linked externally and create this problem.
Does this accurately describes the issue and is there a remedy besides re-creating the "Names"?
