Trying to work through tutorial on creating offline cube from an Excel file, A CompleteGuide to PivotTables: A Visual Approach, Cornell, ISBN 1-59059-432-0, pg 248. Steps I am taking:
1. Click on Data Menu
2. Import External Data
3. New Database Query
On Databases tab
4. Click on Excel Files*
5. Click on Browse Button
I migrate to the loction of the sample files I downloaded, but no files appear in the Browse Data Sources dialog window. Files of type drop down reveals only "Data Sources" (w/o quotes). I browsed the folder with Windows Explorer. There are several Excel files in the folder as well as sample, .cub and .mdb files. I do have Excel 2007 installed on the PC as well, but working through the tutroail with Excel 2003.

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 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.

I have inherited a file that calls an Access database via Msquery. I can see the query that is being used with:
Data | Import External Data | Edit Query | Query Wizard
How can I determine the Access database that the query is using for its data source?

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.

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 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.

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.

I've run across something a little strange. I have a query (in, say, Workbook A) that links to a table in another Excel workbook (call it Workbook B). If somebody happens to have workbook B open (it's on a network) and I try to refresh the query, it actually opens workbook B to refresh the query. If it's not being used, it just refreshes without opening the file.
The issue is that I'm refreshing using macros, and when another workbook pops open, the macros break when they try to use other sheets and ranges and stuff. Obviously, the simple answer is to just use a whole bunch of "ThisWorkbook" statements to make it work. However, I never wanted the workbook to be open in the first place. What's more, if I refresh the macro again, an additional VBA project opens for workbook B (so, now I'd have 1 project for WB A, and 2 projects for WB B). This just seems odd.
Anyway, my question is this:
1) has anybody seen this before, or is it explainable?
2) Is there a way in VBA to determine if a file is in use prior to opening it?

I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jon

I am working with Excel 2010.
There are certain .xlsm files in our system (some have macros and others don't) which generate "Error: Source not Found" in the Edit Links dialog box when the Check Status button is pushed. However, the source location is correct, as you can click on Open Source and it will open the correct file.
For simplicity of explaining my issue, consider the following scenario. In my workbook "Corn Production Summary.xls_" I link to 2 source files: "Iowa.xlsm" and "Nebraska.xlsx" (Note: The extension of the summary file doesn't matter. This error happens regardless of what the summary is.)
When I open "Corn Production Summary" I am prompted to update values. I select Update and the file refreshes and recalculates appearing to have updated all values (i.e. no error messages). However, the values from Iowa.xlsm did NOT update and there was no error message indicating that the values didn't update.
To confirm this, I go to Data>Edit Links>Check Status in "Corn Production Summary" and I see that Iowa.xlsm has the "Error: Source not Found" error. I click on Open Source and once the file is open, my data in the summary file will update.
One work around was to do the following process (with the summary file closed):
1) Iowa.xlsm and Save As Iowa.xlsx (removing macros if needed)
2) Save As Iowa.xlsx as Iowa.xlsm (overwriting the file that is currently there and readding the macros)
3) Open the summary file and both Iowa and Nebraska work just fine now.
There are a lot of files like this, and because Excel doesn't prompt us that it isn't really getting the values from these certain .xlsm files we would have to search in "Edit Links" for each file to make sure that they really are updating.

I need to create a function which will take a objectname (a query or table) and a file name format
The objective is to export this query or table into multiple text files each with a maximum of 1000 lines per text file. These files are used as an input for SAP - the interface only takes a maximum of 1000 lines per file.
I am having three issues with the code below.
1. How do I split an excel query based on line numbers? Is there a way to get the equivalent of ROW_NUM in oracle ? Or do I have to loop through it and maintain a counter?
2. What is the best way to split the file ? Loop within loop? I need the files to be tab separated (no header required)
3.The rst.RecordCount is acting strange - when I pass a name of the query - the property returns the right no. of rows, however when I pass a any table name it only returns 1 - is this the expected behavior - or am I missing something
Code:
Function ExportAsText(strObjectName As String, strFileName As String) As Long
' Purpose: Export any given query, table to mutliple files each of certain length
' the no. of lines per text file is defined by the config parameter SAP UPLOAD, LINE LIMIT PER TEXT FILE
' in the LKUP_CONFIG database
Dim db As DAO.Database 'This database
[Code] ..........

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 am currently working on a project, and basically I want to convert Microsoft word data into excel. Is there a way excel can read specific fields of data from word?
For example, search for a field called a particular name and a corresponding value amongst several data held within Microsoft word pages?

I have a spreadsheet and an Access database that contain the same items and prices. The database and spreadsheet are on a server shared drive. I would like the spreadsheet to automatically update its list of items and prices from the Access database whenever the spreadsheet is opened. Right now, we update the item and price list on both the spreadsheet and the database but I want to just update the database and have the spreadsheet pull the updates from the database.

I have a macro set up in Excel that formats and deletes rows matching a citeria. Once the macro runs I then manually copy the data across into Word. I would like to automate this.
I would like the macro to copy over any cells containing data iinto a new word document. I also have standard text that I would like to include at the beginning and end of the word document. With the excel data being placed in the centre.
I have searched the web and tried a couple of macros with no luck. All the macros state "' requires a reference to the Word Object library: ' in the VBE select Tools, References and check the Microsoft Word X.X object library"
I am unsure how to reference this - but I have checked and found that the object library ticked is Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library.

I need to generate a microsoft word document from the data encoded in my excel spreadsheet. I am currently using MS office 2007.
in the Excel Spreadsheet from columns C to F "a) b) c) d)" was not typed but in the word document it automatically appears before the choices encoded in excel. Another thing is that some of the choices typed in the excel spreadsheet are in bold font and I want it to be generated in word document with the bold font as well.
By the way I am planning to use this technique to create a 100 item multiple choice exam for my students as I find using EXCEL to generate the document a lot easier than creating the test manually in WORD.

I need to back up files, which may be excel or MSword, by copying them from different directories, say C: to the backup directory, say X:. any vba to backup the files? I expect the vba can copy all file listed in column A.
E.g. C: est1File1.xls or C: est2File2.doc, and then pasted to the directory in column B. e.g. X:BackupFolder1 or X:BackupFolder2.

I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.
I give a daily report (contents of this sheet) but I also need to leave this sheet available for anyone to open and change to another date.
I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.

I have a bar chart that was made from table 1 which has the value in it. I have another table, table 2 that has the name corresponding to the value in table 1. I want to color data points in a bar chart with a different color for each name I have in table 2. I also want to give a data label in the data points with the value I have in table 2 instead of the original data label from table 1. Is it possible to do it?

I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.
