I'm trying to create a report for a coworker to run. I want to filter the parameter in a cell (ssn), so that she can run the report. I have added a button for her to execute..once she puts in teh ssn. The spreadsheet is linked to MS Query in the background. How do I tell the Query to link to the cell in excel for filtering?
View 9 RepliesI have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.
Here it goes.
My spreadsheet is populated by data coming from MS Query, i'm entering a parameter value to display the desired data in my spreadsheet. My problem is, i have to close and open the file to have the parameter prompt so in that case i can enter the parameter value.
Is there anyway to call the parameter prompt so i will not open and close the file, its really time consuming...
If possible, i just want a command button that calls the parameter prompt.
I can run my query from within MSQuery something like
like %RESISTOR%
and it works fine.
However I cannot use %RESISTOR% on the excel sheet as a parameter.
is it possible to update a query using a parameter in this way? Maybe getting VBA to actually update the query manully.
i have code accessing an access database running a "query" which has been defined in the database itself. i asm using ADO - no issues with this. works very well.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a pivot table in Excel 2010 that lists amounts used of particular items each month. Inside the pivot table value field settings i have changed the show values as field so that it displays the difference in usage from this month to last.
However if i now select a top 10 filter it only filters by the total number used as opposed to the difference in usage from one month to the next (which is the values displayed).
Is there a way that i can filter by top 10 by the actual values displayed in the pivot chart and not just the underlying data that creates it?

I want to have a screen pop-up asking me what my limit < would be for column "ESTCNT" so if I put in 25 or any other number that it would highlight all the rows that are less than 25, then look at the row above and below and if it matches the same number (that is in the cell "Range" of the highlighted column) in column "Range" then copy that row to a new sheet. Meaning all tha rows that match the "Range" would be in the same new sheet.
The rows might be different lengths and that there will not always be a number in cell "ESTCNT". Column headers will always be the same but might not be in the same column each time. And if it is not to hard once it is completed to find column "SPPLOT" in the new sheet created and asking what I want to autofil the column with.

There is a way to use SQL sentences to do queries in a table in Sheet1 (A to F) to put the output in Sheet2 the values in columns A, B and E from table in Sheet1 when values in column B are equal to 5?
I mean, is possible to do this within the same workbook? or a equivalent VBA code?

I have been all morning working on a simplified version of the tutorial from YouTube: Create your own Excel Search Pt. 4. But came back later so only then that I can not change the data:?
I just got into the world of PowerPivot, Excel 2013 and Pivot Tables and am in the process of creating a Dashboard which I will then be uploading to SharePoint 2013.
On top of page I added the new timeline filter which I've linked to my pivot charts. Now what I would like to do, is create an additional pivot chart which looks at whatever date range has been used in the timeline filter and subtract 5 years from that. So, when I select a date range of November 2013 - December 2013 in timeline filter, the additional pivot chart will show the details for November 2008 - December 2013. This is where I get stuck.
I'm using two SSAS cubes which I'm combining together in PowerPivot and then display in Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts.

I've inherited an SQL server database which imports data from a multitude of spreadsheets each night. Unfortunately the previous data is not deleted from the database or spreadsheets, so there are duplicated records throughout the database. The method they have been using to get data out is to "select distinct", which gets around the problem (not my preferred solution).
I now need to produce an invoice from the database, so I select distinct records for the previous month (based on date) from, say, the TRUCKING table into a TEMP table, so I can do my calculations from there.
But there are a couple of columns which prevent me from getting only unique records. They are the unique ID column and the TIMESTAMP column they have added.
If I try to select all the individual columns, except for the ID and TIMESTAMP, the string length goes over 256 chars and the query truncates.
So I tried "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM TRUCKING WHERE etc etc" but I get the ID and TIMESTAMP fields, which defeats the purpose, and I get duplicate records.
Is there a way to say, for instance, SELECT ALL EXCEPT the fields I don't want?

SQL Server isn't really my thing. I have been asked to quote on a job to build some models. One of the components is to pass parameters to sql server views and return the data into a table in Excel. I never done this.
1. Is it possible to pass parametrs to a view thru Excel?
2. Will the view execute based on the users permissions (different users using the Excel template have different access rights)?
3. Any other things to consider?
I don't need specific solution, only really some broad advice. I really only want to know how feasible this is...

We have a query, that looks at an external data source (db2 i believe). It will pull all data under a certain product set, and as an additional Criteria we currently have Serial Number.
Now, if the value entered is the serial number, lets say '1234567' for example, it will happily pull all instances of that into the table.
However, what I would like is a cell where I can enter the serial number, and the query will look at the Criteria, the Value will reference a cell (where we can type any serial number), and it will then populate it! I thought that would be fairly intuitive even for a complete novice like myself - now I am likely to have nightmares about Function Errors!
What I have tried:
*Setting the value to a cell ref... ie instead of '1234567' i have set the value to =$a$1 and in that cell i have a serial number.
*Tried to create a parameter. So value of [Serial Number] I then get a prompt saying "Enter parameter Value (serial number) - Regardless of if i type a cell reference (ie =$a$1, or i input the actual serial that worked before when it was '1234567' I still get a function error!
I keep trying different permutations of things, but I am ill prepared.
I am a teacher and have a recurring problem when trying to sort data in excel. The problem involves national curriculum sub levels. For those not familiar with these levels, there is a main level then 3 sub levels. The problem is that they are counter intuative to the way excel sorts data. The sub levels work like this:
4a - highest
4b
4c
3a
3b
3c
2a
2b
2c - lowest
There are lower and higher levels, but you get the idea. If I have a set of pupil data that I want to sort into decending order, I find it difficult in Excel. E.g.
Jacob2c
Mary3b
John2a
Sally2b
Sarah2b
Joe3a
Bill3a
If I manually sort the above data into descending order of national curriculum level it will look like this:
Joe3a
Bill3a
Mary3b
John2a
Sally2b
Sarah2b
Jacob2c
but if I try to get excel to do it, obviously excel just treat the levels as alpha numeric and sorts them like this:
Mary3b
Joe3a
Bill3a
Jacob2c
Sally2b
Sarah2b
John2a
I know there must be an easy way involving creating a custom list, but I don't know how to do it.
Problem 2
A related query involves finding a way to get excel to complete the data in the Sub levels progress required column below:
NameLevelTargetSub levels progress required
Mary3b4a
Joe3a4a
Bill3a4a
Jacob2c2a
Sally2b3c
Sarah2b3c
John2a3a
At the moment I manually complete this. E.g. for Mary the Sub levels progress required would be 4, as there are 4 sub levels between 3b and 4a. For Joe it would be 3 as there are 3 sub levels between 3a and 4a, etc. Is there a quick way to get excel to calculate this.
