Excel 2013 :: Creating Two Tables That Can Reference With Microsoft-query
Jun 28, 2013
I don't have Excel 2013 so unfortunately I can't easily create relational data in Excel 2010. I'm looking for a solution to a design problem. I'd like to have 2 tables which I can join with Microsoft Query and run pivot table reports.
My department processes payments, both for internal clients and external clients. My Payments table looks like:
Date | Type (internal/external) | Operation (what type of payment) | Method (internet, mail, etc) | Quantity
Additionally, I have a table for Mail Opening, which looks like:
Date | Employee | Operation | Quantity
My overlapping fields are Date and Operation. Using each table individually, I can get nice pivot table reports. What I'd like to do though is be able to not just see what operations and methods were run each day with what quantities, but also to compare that to how much mail was opened. Employee and Operation is a multi-multi relationship, so when I join by date, I end up getting incorrect numbers because of problems with the data layout. I'm open to changing my data structure, as I know the way it's set up right now isn't great, but I'm having a mental block on how to redesign it. I attached a sample workbook.

Using Excel 2013. Is it possible to delete some records from Sheet1 if the records exist on Sheet2?
I tried several SQL variations in MSQuery but all come back with error messages.

I am trying to use queries I have been running in MS SQL Server Management Studio, to return data in Excel where it would display as pivot. Some queries I was able to use through Excel but few others are not returning anything.
I am doubting it has something to do with the query itself - but they are displaying results properly in MS Query, they are just not returning any data to Excel.

Im using a query to connect to a SQL server and return data into Excel. I can query and return the data in Microsoft Query editor but when I attempt to return the data to Excel in a table, it just says the name of the connection in cell A1. If I attempt to return it into a pivot table a get and "Problems obtaining data" notification.

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
[Code].....

I threw together some sample data, just to test things out. It's very basic, one table of "Customers" and another table with the 50 US State's and their corresponding abbreviations. In the "Customers" table, there is a column of state abbreviations, and in the "States" table there is a column of state abbreviations as well. I have a relationship set up between these two in PowerPivot.
Each "Customer" in the "Customers" table has a unique "User ID". In some states, there are multiple "Customers" (User ID's).
When I try to pull a PowerPivot Table off of these tables, it's showing me all the states as being associated with every user ID. It looks correct if I just pull in the "States" column and the "User ID" column from the "Customers" table...
image1.jpg
But as soon as I drag in the "Full State Name" column from the "States" table, it screws up the PowerPivot Table and shows all the state names being related to the state abbreviations, and all the User ID's as being related to all the states. (This isn't the full image of the table, only part of it, since the full image would be too large).

I'm used to doing everything with VLOOKUP's, and seldom used PivotTables at all in the past. But it was my understanding that these new PowerPivots would eliminate much of the need for VLOOKUP's.

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"

The spreadsheet works in Excel 2000 when you open it in any newer version it is corrupted. Which is fine so we are rewriting it in Excel 2010/2013.
We have data in columns A:E which comes from the refreshable query. Data in F:I are different formulas based on the data from the query. The number of rows we get will vary from query to query. The headers never change just the data. How can we make it so that when no matter the data length the formulas will always autofill up or down depending on the data length?

I am completely new to Macro's and VB and the macro below has been generated using the "Record Macro" function in Excel 2013 with a couple of very minor modifications based on some research I have done (hyperlink & input box). My ultimate goal is to make a copy of my "TEMPLATE", which is hidden and the copy could have a variety of names, then create an entry in my "SUMMARY" table that references cells on the newly created sheet. The new entry on the SUMMARY page should be entered in the next available row ... at the moment I need to make sure I have my cursor in the right place before I run the macro. I also want the first cell in the new "SUMMARY" row to create a hyperlink to the newly created worksheet.
The macro does what I need it to do, as long as I name the new sheet "Test", what I would like is for the Macro to recognise the name of the new worksheet and create links to that name. The rows and columns in each new sheet will remain the same, hence the R##C## part will always work.
The "SUMMARY" and "TEMPLATE" worksheet names will not (ever) change.

I have a query which is giving me some trouble when returning the data from ms query. The query was written in mysql query browser and returns 2 columns of data - a date and a number. MS Query correctly processes the query but when the data is returned to excel only the second column is returned. Here is the query:
SELECT
(SELECT
max(l.the_date)
FROM
nc_view_date_functions AS l
WHERE
l.week_of_year = d.week_of_year
AND l.yyyy = d.yyyy
) AS week_end_date,
count(r.consent_id) AS weekly_count
FROM
rg_resource_consents AS r
INNER JOIN nc_view_date_functions AS d
ON r.application_date = d.the_date
GROUP BY
d.yyyy, d.week_of_year;

I used the Get External Data function within Excel and the query returned the fields in alphabetical order. I went back into the query and rearranged the fields into a more logical order, but when refreshed the query continues to return the fields to Excel in the original alphabetical order.
Am I missing something, or do you only get one shot at the order of the fields being returned?

I would like to have set of data as Parameter if possible.
Example: In Microsoft Queries I have two data sets. In first one shows let's say Item Number, and second one I should have table with components of all Item numbers listed in first table.
So first table I set one Parameter (?) and i get like 8 results. I would like that second table takes those 8 results (sometimes more or less then 8) as parameter and shows data (components) for them.
If I set sign '?' I can only select one cell as parameter, is there any way I can select multiple cells as parameter and use it like SQL function IN ?
Code:
SELECT 1.ITMNR, 1.COMNR, 1.QTYPR
FROM 1.1.1 1
WHERE 1.ITMNR IN ?
And second table should look for results in first table under 1.COMNR and select it as 2.ITMNR
Code:
SELECT 2.ITMNR, 2.COMNR, 2.QTYPR
FROM 1.1.2 2
WHERE 2.ITMNR IN ?

I have a worksheet that pulls data from an ODBC datasource (import, External Data). The datasource is a SQL server 2005 database.
the query's sql is complex enough that it says it cannot be represented graphicly.
part of the WHERE clause fro my query specifies a date range for one of the date fields.
I am wondering if from within the SQL query in Microsoft Query I can reference the value of a cell. that way i coudl have the user enter his date range values in two specific cells.

how to do this, but I know it can be done.... I want to use one drop down list created via the Data Validation 'List' Criteria to then lookup data based on the selection made in this list...... this will require a number of reiterations to get to the final result......
So:
Drop Down No:
1. List: Department Function:
2. List: Sub Function List Based on Selection from 1.
3. List: Job Code, Title and Pay Grade based on Selection from step 2
how to ensure that we are able to minimise the overall workbook size due to the complexity that is required here as this is just the basics.... this will need to applicable further once this basic requirement has been fulfilled.

I'm working on a national survey with valuable data from students. The plan is to turn around, 100 different reports to the departments with their respective students.
The issue that I have is creating multiple tables from multiple sheets in excel into a word table, any way of automating it.
What the tables look like in excel:
What I want them to look like in word, with a chart if possible:
I realize that I can just copy and paste easy table into word from excel and with a few clicks of a button, get what I want. But i'm looking for something to automate and simplify this process. There are about 300-400 variables that I need to crosstab with certain demographics.
If it matters any, I bought a software package (Q Market Research) but it doesn't make the tables look exactly how I want them to look. The data is from SPSS, those tables are flat out.

Here is a very simple workbook/sheet with some simple date arithmetic.
I keep getting the warning that there's a circular reference in C2.
Either I need to suppress the warning so vba loops can run or PREFERABLY I'd get rid of the "circular reference".
Run with Excel 2013.

Is there a way to put a floating date range in the criteria much the same as can be done in excel ie greater than Today() but less than Today()+3? I don't want to keep going in and adjusting the query if I don't have to and if I don't keep the range tight there is too much data.

I am importing data that contains specific start dates and I was wondering how to filter the criteria in Microsoft query to only show start dates greater than today or perhaps yesterday. This would eliminate all entries that have already occurred. It seems I can only select a date in the criteria that exists in the data.

How do you create a reference number to be posted in a userform2 that is opened from an earlier userform1 where you have entered some initialisation data and generated a source reference number. ie set of data has reference X and there will be y items in that set want references in form X01 to Xy (y unlikely to exceed 20). Want to put references 'X01' into the userform2 and cycle through data entry in userform2 from source reference X01 to Xy. (I'm having problems with the transfer from 1 to 2!)

No, this is not about ScreenUpdating = True/False
Neither is it because you've turned SU off, and then used 'Select' or 'DoEvents' etc in your code.
When running an update for a QueryTable (once a second), 3 'buttons' (activeX image controls with code behind them) flicker - though I see no reference to selecting and/or screenupdating in my code
Is this purely something about refreshing a querytable that I can't fix?
Is there a subclass or API call I can intercept to stop drawing the images alone?
Code:
Public Sub ActivateConn()
Dim strFilespec As String
Dim strConn As String
Dim sqlStr As String
Set RecSet = New ADODB.Recordset
[Code] .....
In short, there's no REASON why I couldn't just use the selection_change event to fire the same macros as the buttons but... well... it doesn't look anywhere near as good (I have a thing about making VB apps look as good as the code behind them is smart)

I have a website (National Lacrosse League - 2013 Regular Season - Standings), that I want to pull information off and automatically into Excel.
I have been using web queries on other websites, and they have worked beautifully, however the tables that I want aren't recognised by the web query wizard (no yellow/black arrows). I can import the whole page through a query, however that's not really practical.
Is there a way I can import just specific tables on this site?? I'd like both the 'east' and 'west' tables.

I am currently working on a project that uses Excel to parse a .txt document. Its working quite well for me. It functions by having two worksheets. In the first worksheet I use the " import external data" menu to import my .txt file. In another worksheet I have set up fields that show only the important information from the .txt file and leave the junk behind.
I’m looking to improve the functionality of this by adding a button to automatically clear the data in the first worksheet so that new data can be added quickly.
I have searched the forum and found a couple of threads on "QueryTables". After reading up on those, I have made a simple button with the following code.
Sheets("Sheet1"). Cells.Clear
Sheets("Sheet1").QueryTables.Item(1).Delete
After I load a .txt file and parse it using the formulas set up, I copy my needed information and then press this button. The cells clear, and the QueryTables are "reset" (maybe not the right word). Now a different .txt file can be imported and the process starts again.
The problem I am having is that. If there is no "QueryTables.Item(1)" to delete, I get a run time error. (Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range).
Would anyone know how to make my button conditional to having a "QueryTable" active? I.E. If I press it when there is no data loaded it doesn't do anything or give me that error.

I've tried to remove connections after saves and have been unsuccessful.
HTML Code:
' Delete Additional Connections
' If ActiveWorkbook.Connections.Count > 0 Then
' For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Connections.Count
' ActiveWorkbook.Connections.Item(1).Delete
' Next i
' Else
' MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Connections.Count
'
' End If
HTML Code:
' Remove named ranges
For Each nm In ActiveWorkbook.Names
nm.Delete
Next nm
I've tried both of these and the Excel file is still attached with XML to the query table. I get an error message saying the format is different then if you click okay it shows its connected to the database still. Is there an aggressive command that will severe all connections before saving? What commands to run to stop this connection after save to another workbook?
