I have tried a couple times using MS Query to retrieve data from some rather complex Excel source files. I seem to be able to load the data into MS Query....and even add criteria and some calculated fields. However, every time I go to Return Data to the spreadsheet....it just hangs.
I'm using Excel 2003. Anyone know of any issues with doing this?
I am trying to do a MS Query from another sheet in the same workbook
I created a new data source using Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)
Tried read only checked and unchecked
Workbook is a .xlxs but same error with .xlsm workbook
Workbook is on the desktop
I receive the below error when trying to edit a MS Query table by right clicking Table>Edit Query
ODBC Excel Driver Login Failed
The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file "(unknown)". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
How to use MS Query in the same workbook?
I am attempting to ensure the functionality of my workbook with queries to work on other computers (regardless whether it is a PC or MAC). It works perfectly fine on my computer but when I email the same workbook to a friend, it will not execute the same query.
What could be the issue here? Is there a specific line to 'migrate' the query table(s) with the workbook?
I've got a Workbook with multiple sheets, which are unhidden one by one (as the last item of data is added to each sheet, Cell L49 turns to "Yes" which in turn populates a variable - this is then used to determine which sheets are visible and which are hidden)
This works fine in a Workbook Open event (ie, get to L49 being "Yes", close and re-open and it's fine) but not how I'd like it in the SheetChange event
I'm using a UserForm which opens on a double-click. This then populates data. But it's not triggering the SheetChange action. I can go to a cell and type something in to make things work, but this is messy...
I've had this workbook freeze during a perpetual dynamic web query for quite some time now and have mentioned in a few previous posts while trying to elimnate probable causes.
Nothing suggests anymore it's codes or structre of the codes in Excel or even physical memory issues.
Symptoms as best as I can describe.
It only seems to happen when observing some extra internet activity due to the icons flashing on the task bar, in a split second.
For example, perhaps; auto-update checks, browser pop ups when logged in to a secure web site, or I even suspect maybe some sort of Ping, yet it's part of the overall standard operation of Wndows OS Ping.
From my intense observations it's always when the 2 TCP icons on the task bar flash an extra "beat".
Hope this makes sense in trying to describe a cause or symptom.
The nature of this glitch happens on all computers in both Office 2000 and now 2003 versions of Excel.
Fresh install of the entire OS has been done with standard Installation and a fresh re-insatll of Office,with or without security softwares etc.
It's always exactly the same, it will freeze at the precise moment the flashing icons is not the regualr sync. during the perpetual web query process.
It will freeze all worksheets, meaning I have to Close and Re-open the Workbook and it's ok till it happens again.
Where to now with this glitch, or would it have something to do with certain port settings?
I have a workbook_open macro that refreshes a query. works great when opened directly from Excel 2007, but when I use Task Scheduler to call the sheet or call Excel the query will not refresh...macro runs but no refresh.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to automatically do a query and dump the data into a sheet when a previously created workbook is open. I know how to get the data (use the Tools, Import External Data option to retrieve data from Access) but what I don't know is how to make it do it automatically when the workbook is open.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains two sheets with two separate queries. On the first sheet I have two cells designated to accept the values for the parameters. The first sheet accepts the values and populates the table correctly. The second sheet doesn't seem to accept the values and just returns blank rows.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run an SQL query to the worksheet of the workbook opened. This is worth noting, that this code is being called multiple times. Suppose if I have around 100 items in a listview, any item I will check or uncheck, this query will be fired. I tried selecting the five items, and the following code ran five times, and the excel ghost instance appeared.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 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.
Need the query parameters which takes the date from the cell into the query. How should I modify my query if it needs to take the date from a cell?? The bold one date should be picked from one of the cell in sheet 2.
My query is this

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!
I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.
I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..
Is it possible to set parameters on a query but use a wildcard to return all instances? I have a query that I want to be able to set multiple parameters on but give the user the ability to select as many or as few parameters as they want to see. 2 of the parameters are number fields and 2 are text fields with no spaces.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which we use to rank scores for our golf society.
At the start of our season it was decided that if anyone of the top 3 scores were tied we would separate them using a second criteria(back nine score). Any scores from position 4 down would still be tied.
From searching this forum i have managed to separate ties using the 'back nine' second criteria(using a hidden helper column) but only for all the ranking positions not just the top 3.
I have attached the file.
how I would be able to weed out and remove previous references to query names.
For example if I have an external data query named "qry1 by week", then remove the query, then create another one, how do I use the same query name again? Surely there's a reference to it somewhere, that I can eliminate?
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 am having problems getting to work a web query in a VBA macro. The goal is simply to get a value retrieved from a web query into an excel cell.
The below code works well with standard html pages (like replacing the url with www.google.com). However, the page I want to retreive (a query at geonames.org that retreives an altitude value for given lattitude/longitude values) does not contain any HTML headers, but just a number in plain text. In this case the below query does not returns anything. I tried different formating options for the query but up to nownothing works.
What my excel sheet is doing is importing a bunch of data from a query. I have all my queries linked to buttons through macros. There are going to be 20-30 buttons that are linked to a query, and each query will produce a different amount of data(in this case, account numbers). When pressing a button linked to a query(i also have one 'Clear' button that just deletes the data, thats all), i use a macro to delete the previous query so it can import the new query into the same cell. The problem I am having is that when a button is pushed and there is no query, I am getting an error message. Here is my original code(macro), and the underlined code is where i am getting the error
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to create a web query.
I have lot of post codes which needs to be checked in a web page and the output column needs to be updated in the spreadsheet.
Link: - Find UK Postcodes Inside a Radius
for example: - The post code WD18 1TB will be there in Excel Sheet this has to be copied and pasted in the link in column
Step 2 : Click on map OR Place radius by location name or postcode
and Step 1 : Radius should be updated as 10 and then the Draw Radius needs to be clicked. Then the output needs to be copied (in this case the output is: AL2,HA1,HA2,HA3,HA4,HA5,HA6,HA7,HP3,UB9,WD1,WD17,WD18,WD19,WD2,WD23,WD24,WD25,WD3,WD4,WD5,WD6,WD7) in our spreadsheet in the next sheet.
I have some thousand web queries in an excel sheet, and now I need to get the hyerlinks from each of the query into cells in another sheet. I need this as the users in addition to looking at the data I have pulled need to access the actual webpages to look at the original report - where there are a lot of images that is not effective to put into my excel report.
What I want is to get the "name" value from the properties of the web queries, and then paste the value in a cell in another sheet. I can't seem to find any answers to how to extract the actual parameter values from a web query - but it seems like it should be possible...?
I'm using this macro in order to bring some data to two cells.. it's currently working great...
Sheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://magpie.boise.itc.hp.com:8080/gip/fileStatus.jsp?transKey=GUS8301D&fileName=GUS8301DBN2AFH3M" _
, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "fileStatus.jsp?transKey=GUS8301D&fileName=GUS8301DBN2AFH3M"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
However, as you can see from the text in bold i'm currently telling the url instead of bringing it from a cell with an url. I want the macro to be able to select the url from a cell.
I'm trying to use this solution, but i keep getting a Run-time erro ´5´:
Invalid procedure call or argument.
connstring = Range("GUS8301!B3").Value
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=connstring, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
I have a table that contains data for a region broken down into North South East and West areas.
New data is added to one spreadsheet (Region).
What I would like to do is have information for the North team automatically moved (or copied via a link) to the North sheet for printing off.
Is there any way to use an Excel cell as a parameter for MS Query.
i.e. Select fields from table where field = "cell value"
I tried the $ ($D$5 ) got Invalid pseudocolumn error; which leads me to hope there might be a way to introduce a VALID pseudocolumn in my Query.
