Excel 2010 :: Remove Data Connection And Keep PivotCache

Nov 26, 2012

With Excel 2010 a yellow warning bar is shown when opening a file with data connection. I don't want to show this warning to other users who will be opening the file, especially when they won't be able to update anything since the original data is on my computer. The logical way would be to remove or disable the connections before sending the file out. But when removing the data connections through Connection window all the pivot tables are converted to static tables, which is not acceptable. Is there any other solution to this? Maybe use a macro?

PS: I know that these warnings can be turned off though Trust Center, but I am not interested in changing these settings for other users.

Excel 2010 :: Data Connection In Shared Workbook?

May 29, 2013

Im using Excel 2010 and have a data connection that I want to use. I added it to a regular workbook and it updates perfectly as-designed. However, I need this feature to work in a shared workbook, but it doesn't.

Excel 2010 :: Multiple Sheets One Data Connection

Apr 8, 2014

I have a sheet that contains a Microsoft Query (SQL) data connection. In cell C3, I have the month name and I also have a year cell (C4), which contains just the year based on what the current month (=YEAR(TODAY())) is.

For this example let's use May (C3) and 2013 (C4)

C3 and C4 are used as parameters for the SQL query, so if I change the month to January and the Year to 2010, data is refreshed to bring in that data.

Works smashingly.

I then want to add 11 more sheets (12 total), so each sheet is a month. The value in cell C3 on each sheet will be the month name.

If I just copy this sheet 11 times, Excel adds 11 extra data connections; 1 for each sheet. As the query in each sheet needs to be exactly the same, I don't want this. I want the 12 sheets to use the same data connection, only with the specified parameters at the sheet level.

Otherwise, if I need to add or remove a column, or change a column name, rather than just doing it once, I'd have to do it 12 times.

This can't be right, surely, as that would be the most ridiculous design flaw I've ever seen in a piece of software. How can having the same query 12 times be a good thing?

I'm a bit concerned that googling 'excel data connections multiple sheets' always wants to be 'excel multiple data connections one sheet' - I want 'excel multiple sheets one data connection'

Excel 2010 :: Access Data Connection Query - Missing Data All Of Sudden

Oct 19, 2012

I 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

How To Remove Data Connection

Aug 4, 2014

I was messing around with data connections and importing stuff from a network in real time. Cool stuff. But everytime I open ANY excel worksheet on this computer, it tells me "file cannot be found" and refers to one of the first files I used for this. this happens no matter what workbook I am opening.

When I click data --> connections its empty.

Excel 2010 :: ODBC Connection String With Multiple Variable (WHERE) Requirements

Dec 29, 2013

With VBA in Excel 2010 I am connecting to a SQL server by using ODBC.

This is a two part process:

Part one:I have created a connection string that gets me the following data: A, B, C, D, E from sheet tpoPurchOrder Where B is equal to "1" And Where C is equal to a changing field under Sheets("Macros").Range("B2")

Here is part one

Code:

Sub Part1()
Sheets("Open PO by Vendor").Select
Sheets("Open PO by Vendor").Cells.Clear
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Connection;Description=Description;UID=USER;PWD=PASSWORD;APP=Microsoft Office 2010;WSID=Workstation;DATABASE=Database" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable

[code]...

Part one works perfectly.

Part two is where I have problems.Part two is a little different because I have the same connection, but what changes is the table that I am looking at "tpoPOLine" instead of "tpoPurchOrder" and the where is now going to have a variable number of commands.

I want part two to be depend on part one. Under part one I want the result from column E to be a where statement in part two.

As follows:

In particular: *E3 from Part 1*, etc.

Code:
"SELECT tpoPOLine.Status, tpoPOLine.POKey, tpoPOLine.ItemKey, tpoPOLine.POLineNo, tpoPOLine.UnitCost, tpoPOLine.ExtAmt" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM mas500_DII_app.dbo.tpoPOLine tpoPOLine" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E2 from Part 1*) OR (" _
, _
"tpoPOLine.POKey=*E3 from Part 1* ) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E4 from Part 1*)" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "ORDER BY tpoPOLine.POKey" _
)

Now my problem is that sometimes the E column from part one ends up being 1 row, sometimes it ends up being 50 rows. I would like the code to change accordingly.

1. Pull everything from the SQL server filter once in excel. This is not as efficient as the database has ~300,000 rows in the tpoPOline table and would take a lot longer then needed.

2. Create a nested if table and

Change

Code:
WHERE (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E2 from Part 1*) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E3 from Part 1* ) OR (tpoPOLine.POKey=*E4 from Part 1*)"

to the value of that nested if table

The nested if table would be something like =if(isblank(E2),"E1",if(isblank(E3)... etc for ~50 rows. I know the syntax is incorrect but you get my point.

3. Rerun the query for each value in column E. That would require the connection to happen ~50 times which would not be that great, as well as I would have to copy and paste the data after each run as the tables cannot overlap.

What I am looking for is a way to run this only once, on one sheet, without writing a nested if table with 50 if's.

How To Remove Data Connection But Preserve Data

Jul 24, 2013

If I run this vba it removes the external data connection to the pivot table:

ActiveWorkbook.Connections("EXAMPLE").Delete

When I attempt to drill down into the pivot table it states the data connection was removed.

Is there a way to remove the data connection but preserve the data in the pivot cache?

It's probably possible to store the data somewhere else in the document and link the pivot table up to it but that seems cumbersome.

Access To Excel Data Connection

Nov 9, 2009

I've created a connection which draws information from an access table to excel. The issue is that any numbers (they are ratings from 1-10) that come from access are shown in excel 1 number higher than the correct data that is in access (i.e 10 is shown as 11, 9 as 10, etc). I've looked all over the forum as well as google and can't find any information on how to correct this.

Can't Remove Public ADO Connection

Feb 12, 2009

I have a VBA application that uses data from a sheet in the excel workbook. It accesses this data with an ADO connection. On workbook open I open this connection--I declare it as public variable so I can continue to use it throughout the session. My problem is that the connection really doesn't ever dissappear. I have the problem that once I close the workbook, the project still exists in the VB Editor. How do I get rid of the connection? I am stuck because I declared it as public? I want to keep it open, rather than opening every time I want to use it, because it is faster to keep the connection open.

My code is below.

Option Explicit 'requires variable declaration
'declare global connection
Public cn As ADODB.Connection

Sub OpenDBConnection()
'open db connection
'this happens on workbook open
If cn Is Nothing Then
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & WCHSBook.FullName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;"""
.Open
End With
End If
End Sub

Working Access Query Fails When Using Excel Data Connection

Sep 6, 2012

I've about 10 pivot tables in Excel that are populated via an External Query link to Access. In each case I have pre-written views with all the columns I need so that the query can just pick them up. Nine of the ten queries work perfectly, but one doesn't - reporting "Too Few Parameters - Expected 1" when I try and click on the "Return Data to Excel" in the import wizard.

I can see the column headers in Excel to select; so I'm assuming that it can parse the SQL but no results are being returned. Just to confirm though - results are returned (>8000 of them) in Access.

SQL code below:

Code:
SELECT z.pathdurationhours AS PathHours, Count(z.pathdurationhours) AS Paths,
Count(z.pathdurationhours)/(select count(*) from (select [activity date],
[conversion ID], count(*) from tbl_dfa_p2cdata group by [activity date], [conversion ID]) ) AS PCT
FROM (SELECT a.[activity date], a.[conversion ID], val( max(a.[interaction time])-min(a.[interaction time]) )
*24 AS PathDurationHours FROM tbl_dfa_P2CData AS a WHERE a.[interaction time]
"" GROUP BY a.[activity date], a.[conversion ID]) AS z
GROUP BY z.pathdurationhours;

Excel 2007 :: Workbook Use One Data Connection With Different SQL Query For Each Worksheet?

Oct 13, 2013

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.

Excel 2007 :: Security Alert - Data Connection Message Every Time?

Dec 20, 2012

I open a spreadsheet or workbook that has links to other workbooks I am notified by the message bar that content has been blocked. I click Options > Enable this content > OK. Even if I don't make any changes I'm prompted to save changes when I close the file. If I hit Yes or if I hit No, I will still be prompted to enable content in the message bar the next time I open the same file.

I have changed the External Content settings in the Trust Center to "Enable all data connections (not recommended)" and "Enable automatic update for all workbook links (not recommended)" but I still get the messages.

My Message Bar is set to "Show the message bar in all applications when content is blocked" because I read on Microsoft KB that the other option of "never show information about blocked content" will still block the content, just not tell you about it, which doesn't fix my issue.

The files I'm opening and the files linked to and from them are all on the same shared drive on a file server in the office. Is there a way to tell Office '07 that our file drive is a trusted source by default?

Excel 2007 :: Data Connection Between Two Workbooks Locks Source Workbook When Refreshed

Feb 10, 2012

[URL]....

I have 4 workbooks, all of them contain data that is managed by other teams at my company. I need to take all of this data, organize, and concatenate it into one sheet for myself, that I will then reference in other workbooks to various OTHER departments in our company that need the data for certain projects. I have the organization laid out in a lot of very complex formulas so that most of this is automated, and not manual.

I need a solution that can pull data from the 4 workbooks without locking them for use, to allow me to keep my document open all the time, and they can update theirs at their leisure. Everything works fine, until I hit the refresh button. Once this is hit, all of the linked documents are locked and cannot be opened, even in "Read Only" mode. Once I close the master document, the files are free to be opened. I know a workaround for now is that i can not "refresh" the document, but rather close and re open it for changes.

Some steps I have already tried :

1. Create an intermediary file that no one uses, and can be locked all day without a problem. This doesn't work for me since the intermediary file needs to be open to refresh, which locks the original source doc, leaving me in the same place as before.

2.Modify the connection string to display "Mode=Read;" instead of "Mode=Share Deny Read"

3.Create a new connection with "Read" only selected in the Advanced Tab

Excel 2010 :: Find Or Remove Duplicates In Columns

May 11, 2014

I have following sheet:
Data from A1: BU1644

I need to check, if in A1:BU1 are any duplicate words.
All the formulas I found deal with finding duplicates downward (like A1:A1000).
Have not seen any formula which works across (from left to right)

Is there an easy way in Excel 2010 either to tag/ and -or remove the duplicate which I could apply and then just copy downward? The formula must work from left to right, because many words repeat downward.

Excel 2010 :: Quick Remove Spaces Macro?

Oct 29, 2012

I'm working on a sheet with about 10,000 rows and 8 columns worth of data. Most of them are formatted as 12345,12345,12345,23456 how they are supposed to be, but some of them will have spaces inbetween each sequence, or some even a couple spaces, or spaces at the end. For the most part I can use the replacement function with ", " to "," but some of the double spaces throw it off, and end spaces also. Is there a macro that can just search through the selected cells I pick to just remove all spaces so the data falls back onto the commas?

Running Access Query In Excel And Connection

Aug 5, 2003

I am not sure how to setup the initial connection to the datbase from excel and was wondering what would be the best way to go about things. Is it possible to run the query stored in the database and pass it a value or would I be better off just coding it into a sqlstring within the macro.

Here is the query that is in the database...when run it asks for the "Status?" variable.

SELECT ordernumber, mobilenumber
FROM bookings
WHERE status = [status?];

So yes, really simple query but yeah just want to know how to pass it that variable from excel or can I just set it up in the actual macro to maybe read the status from a cell?
