Excel Dashboard - How To Get Data From Other Pages Onto First Screen
Feb 24, 2014
I want to get into dashboards, I've looked at video on YouTube etc. I now know how to design them but what do I need to know is what search phrase etc I need to use cos I'm a bit confused. How do I get data from other pages onto first screen where dashboard is.
I want to set up daily charts to monitor various things but Im not sure how best to set up the data in order to do this so it calculates automatically as data is refreshed.
I want to run daily activity data that tells me how many people attend each room per day. the aggregated data would include:
Number of attendances, by room (there are 11 rooms), by day Each attendance grouped by category of patient (up to 25 categories) Each attendance by type of attendance (various groups)
How should I set up the data to show these things in a way that it can be linked to a text file and refreshed daily on opening? the data at the moment is in rows per attendance rather than grouped in any way.
I would like the data to have dates and months etc automatically genetared by the attendance date in order to graph the above indicators, as well as a % atttendance in relation to capacity per room etc
simple excel template that I could try to manipulate my data into so I can get started. The data is generates using a transact SQL query and saved as a text file which I wabt to use for the daily stats.
Excel 2007. Basically, I'll be working in excel and all of a sudden, my screen sort of blurs; gets scramble like below. This only happens when using Excel.
I am attaching a sample data file that contains two tabs (data and dashboard). By looking at dashboard tab you will know what I am trying to build. Based on the drop down values I would like to populate the data on the dashboard tab.
I have an excel file of 154 pages. I want to print only pages 1,151 and 154. what i am doing is print pages one by one.first give the command to page i then 151 then 154. how can i give the command in one go so that it is printed the required pages only.
After minimizing my Excel form, I'm trying to re access it from the windows task bar. If I click on the Excel tab it shows me the 2 excel files I have open. I would normally just click on one of those and that sheet would be brought up, but I can't get either of them up - as soon as I click on one or other of them the window just minimizes again.
I'm trying to copy the content of a word document (File A) to another (File B) using Excel VBA. File A has about 100's of pages (not sure of the number as it varies) and this needs to be split to different files, each having 15 Pages.
Below is my code, where I'm able to select the content of the first Page and paste it in the target folder, but not sure how to determine the number of pages in word using excel VBA.
Note: Copying the content should be done, page wise only.
I need a method or function that can count the TOTAL number of pages to that will be printed. I don't need anything with HPageBreaks or Get.document(50, ""sheet name"")") for these don't seem to work on my worksheet.
All they seem to do is give me a number lower then the number of pages that will be printed and they are dependent on where the active cell is.
Here is my code that does not work.
Code: Agreement_Page_Count = ExecuteExcel4Macro("Get.document(50,""Signature Page"")") and Code: Function HowManyPagesBreaks(sSheet As Worksheet) Dim iHpBreaks As Integer, iVBreaks As Integer Dim iTotPages As Integer With sSheet
[Code] ........
Both codes return 2 when there are 3 pages that can be printed. Unless I pause the code select the cell at the bottom of my sheet (it ignores it if I use use a macro to select the bottom cell) and then continue my code.
I've tried it with and without the entirerow.hidden.
Is there a way of bypassing everything and using a marco to open up page preview and getting the total number of page to be printed? I'm using excel 2010
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'm trying to execute a macro and it won't put the focus (radio button) to select x pages wide by x pages tall in the Page Setup/Page/Scaling Area. I looked at the macro and can't find a setting in the code but yet the focus won't change. What can I do about this? In other words the radio button stays selected as "adjust to "" % of normal size. Here's the code...
When I publishing from Excel document to PDF it produces differently sized pages as shown in attached. Is there a way I can achieve a same size page view without having to change the font size and page layout of the source Excel document?
I wanted to add the date of the last modification of the file to the printed pages, so I googled how to do it and found a useful answer on this from from 10 years ago. It said to press ALT+F11, then on the left side go under VBAProject, there go to ThisWorkbook and there paste the next code:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) For Each wk In Worksheets With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .LeftHeader = "Last Modified on " & ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties.Item("Last Save Time") .CenterHeader = ""
[Code]....
Then I saved it and closed. Like I said, it worked perfectly.
The problem is that when I open the file after closing it, it does not appear, and I have to paste the code again every time I open it. Not only is this not comfortable, it also counts as a modification, so even if I haven't changed the work sheets themselves, just wanted to open and print it, it shows today's date.
My question is, who to I save it permanently so it will remain always after the first time I created it?
While we're at it, if there's a way for that code to appear on every NEW Excel file I create automatically
Why when I drag the dotted blue page break line does it sometimes break the entire doc into one page per cell ?
The doc is not wide. When I first load I can drag the break line successfully. Then I print preview... select print on both sides... boom.. goes from 4 pages to 14. Then I go back to page break view... drag the line... boom... Hundreds of pages. Even if I revert back to printing on one side it still is messed up.
How do I make this stop?? What am I doing wrong?? Office 2010
When I attempt to open a file I get a blank screen. If I try to close the window it asks if I want to save the file so it is must be open but not visible. Have I inadvertently clicked on an icon with which I am not familiar?
Is there any way to tell a userform to always open in the center of the excel screen? It always seems to open somewhere in outer space on multiple screen setups.
I am working on word documents that has financial numbers on them. I am copying word pages to excel to calculate the numbers by using formulas and etc. I will cut to the chase; is there a way or a macro to insert into an excel template workbook(.xltx) when we open the template there will be a command button to select the word document (which we want to copy its pages) to excel sheets. When a new page begins a new sheet will be created and the page will be pasted on the new sheet.
It is not important if it has to have a command button to select the word document it is ok to run the macro and select the word document and it does not has to populate sheets according to length of word document (I can create lost of free sheets on the template)
The main idea is to gain the time I spend on copying the word document to excel sheets. Some documents can be very long (100 pages). I am using MS Office 2007.
I triend to export data but excel does not allow me to select word documents.
I've been trying to familiarize myself with MS Excel's Web Query function (MS Excel 2007) in order to collect statistics from a baseball game.
Here is this particular page I'd like to start pulling certain data from: http://www.mmobaseball.com/stats.aspx
I can get the first page of data easily, the first 50 or so players and their stats, but I cannot get anything from the other pages (which are accessed by the 'next button') nor can I get the defensive stats of any player (accessed by clicking the button labeled "defensive stats"). When I look at the page source I see that regardless of the page I'm viewing, excel only pulls data from the original page.
How can I collect the data from these other pages?
I have a project report, which is user-configurable, allowing the user to customise the data that is displayed based on a number of parameters.
To ensure the report always prints neatly (the number of visible columns and rows varies, depending on the above parameters), so I have a macro that dynamically sets the print area of the worksheet.
At present, I call the macro from the workbook.beforeprint event, which works fine in terms of printing. Ideally however, I would like the macro to be called when CTRL+P is first pressed - i.e. the resulting 'print screen', containing a preview of the print out should reflect what will subsequently be printed, when the 'Print' button is then pressed.
I am not sure if this makes sense (Excel 2010 and 2013 are different from previous versions).
i was wondering if there is a way to display a pop up message that a stating that the spreadsheet is currently updating.
What i have is a macro running on Auto_Open when workbook is opened. I have switch off the screen updating. What i want now is for maybe to have a pop up stating the spreadsheet is updating. Setting screen updating to false means that my excel freezes for a few seconds. I think users might be thinking that excel has crashed and therefore would like to include the message that the spreadsheet is updating its information.
I have place a camera-picture of a table on the right side of a chart. On the screen it looks great! (See below - with some redaction)
Problem Example.png
.... but when I print it the table expands off of the side of the chart. Scale is 100%, zoom is 100%, Excel 2010 (See below - with some redaction). Whether or not I have a print area does not seem to make a different in the problem. Also, it appears that this happens with any shape I put in that place, it's not specific to the camera tool.
I had a spreadsheet with 17 photos on, one in each cell. I had to resize so you can see them all on the screen. If you have some pictures that are resized to fit in cells, is there any way to double click (or hover?) them and make them actual size or full screen when you want to view them in detail?
I am using Excel 2007. When I pulled up a workbook today with 3 sheets in it, all that comes up is the first sheet and the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen are no longer there. I must have accidentlly pushed some button, but I can't get to the other sheets. I really need the information on the other sheets. How do I restore the view that shows the sheet numbers at the bottom?
i need someone that can think through this boolean logically. its been a long day at work and now I'm trying to walk through this boolean thing to make sure my data will post on the right pages.
I have an Excel Macro that will capture inputted customer/vehicle data from an input screen, at the end, based on questions answered, i need to place that data on 1 of 4 sheets in my excel document.
The questions are: Is this a Nationwide claim? (Y.N) (boolean = nw) Is the vehicle here? (Y/N) (boolean = vh)
So here's what i got if NW = true and VH = True then place data on "sheet1" if NW = true and VH = False then place data on "Sheet2" if NW = False and VH = true then place data on "sheet 3" if NW = false and VH = False then place data on "sheet4"
I can't think of how to write this IF statement for this to happen. can't get the logic going.
Macro that can copy cells of data from about twenty five tabbed sheets in the workbook (subject to change) and compile them into one long worksheet (the first tab).
The cells to be copied will be fixed number of columns but variable number of rows. I only need copying of cells in one direction (from the tabbed pages to the compiled list), and I would like to keep the list automatically up to date or have a "refresh" button.
