Excel 2013 :: VBA Connection To Access?
May 18, 2013
I currently have a workbook that has VBA functions that calculates values by looping through large amounts of data in a few large excel sheets. I want to transfer the data from these sheets into Access and then bring data into the VBA code via an array from the data in Access rather than the array being populated from the data in excel as it currently is. How to create the connection. The access DB will be situated in a public directory on a server. How to create the connection string and then how I call the data from Access? I have just downloaded Office 2013.

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.

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?

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;

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

I have a client with approximately 4-5000 Excel workbook files that all contain the old Jet connection string and these files do not run under Office 2010 without changing to the newer ACE connection string. It is just too much to open each file and change the connection string.
Is there a way to do a mass change - like global search and replace - the connection strings in the files? I have a text editor that is able to do that but I fear it may mess up the file.

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.

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.

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'

Essentially all I want to do is create a procedure/function in Excel such as =SQLdata(3), where 3 could be customer ID and then the function would make a connection to SQL and perform the SELECT etc procedure and return the CustomerName in the cell with that formula.
I have excel 2007 and MS SQL where my data is stored. I understand that I need to make the connection to my SQL database, but I really do not know how to do this.

Why this sql query doesn't return values? My excel version is 2007.
Code:
if object_id( 'TEMPDB..#TMPDOC') is not null
begin
drop table #TMPDOC
end
create table #TMPDOC (Code varchar(5) NOT NULL)

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.

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?

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.

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

Using EXcel 2013, Windows 8
I have an Excel worksheet with one column being e-mail addresses. Other columns are Christian names, etc
Ideally can I create a full Mail merge with Outlook using whatever data I want. But probably just e-mail address and Christian name?
Otherwise be able to send one e-mail to all the e-mail addresses, without a major re-type.

My and a work college needed to combine our separate excel worksheets into a single document.
Office 2013 didn't have a function to "import sheet from file" so we used open office to import my .xlsx worksheets.
After we finished importing we exported the final workbook as .xls (so I could open it).
After opening the workbook on my pc (excel 2013) i notice some of the sheets no longer have column headers, but the row headings still exists. (No ABCD, only 1234)
Also I am unable to use features such as "Freeze Pane"
I suspect this was caused by importing and exporting through open office?

I have a complicated spreadsheet with several columns. Some columns B, D, E, F, M come from calculations on other columns or are columns copied from other worksheets within the same workbook.
I have another column C which is generated entirely off a macro with no input from the user.
I insert a row at line 8 (see above). However its just a blankrow and the formula highlighted in E2 does not show in E8 but it does appear for E9. I'd need that formula to be in E8.
My dilemma is how to insert a row and have it copy the formula from too.
I'd like to avoid copying another row into it and editing data. Other thing to avoid is putting all new rows at the end of the spreadsheet if possible. Has to be in the middle of the existing table.
I have Excel 2010 or 2013.

VBA Code Cleaner
I just can't seem to figure out how to use the Code Cleaner, after installing it I can't find any option to use it :S
I'm using Excel 2013 and W8 (if that's relevant).
Why does importing and exporting the code reduces the size? What kind of "junk" is stored and why? and when?

I have a big spreadsheet with IT / Finance data. Below is the formula, I currently have. I am summing column Y in Tab Savings Data Detail, where column A does not equal Parent, and The Value in Column AK on the Savings data details tab matches the value in current tab for cell B26 and where column G on the savings detail tab equals Transition to IT. I am adding that value to the second sumifs statement essentially the values in column X on the savings detail tab with the same criteria.
Now I need to add to each of these formulas. I need to sum only the values where the date value in column W on the data details tab is greater than or equal to 01/01/2013 and less than or equal to 12/31/2013
find the easiest way?
=SUMIFS('savings data details'!$Y:$Y,'savings data details'!$A:$A,"Parent",'savings data details'!$AK:$AK,$B26,'savings data details'!$G:$G,"Transition to IT")+
SUMIFS('savings data details'!$X:$X,'savings data details'!$A:$A,"Parent",'savings data details'!$AK:$AK,$B26,'savings data details'!$G:$G,"Transition to IT")

Is it possible to retrieve an arrary of the autofilter criteria. I know this is possible in pre 2007 but with 2007 onwards I can't find a way of doing it.
I know I can get all the available items in a list by using the scripting.dictionary and also by using the visible cells I could see what could be filtered but that is not really accurate for what I want.
E.G.
If I have multiple columns and look at the filtered information in one column I can retrieve an array of the visible cells from that column but that is not necessarily the criteria that is in the column. i.E. If another column has a filter rows may be filtered that would have otherwise been visible.

I have a workbook, which I use for different departments that displays a number of different pie charts and I have found that a particular pie chart omits a specific label repeatedly. The pie chart displays the wedge within the chart itself, but does not display the label. At the moment I have data labels with percentages. All other labels display, of which there are 7. I found a solution that fixes the problem each time it arises and that is to select Chart Tools/Format/Series 1 data labels and then Format Selection. When I then select any data label, I click on "Clone Current Label" and the missing label appears with the correct percentage amount. I use the workbook for multiple uses and rather than have it present as a template (*.xltm), it is a macro-enabled spreadsheet (*.xlsm). Could this be related to the problem?
