Microsoft Query :: Show Start Dates Greater Than Today/yesterday
Sep 29, 2009
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 am trying to create a formula, but my knowledge of excel formulas is very new! I am trying do create an excel formula which calculates the difference in video view data which I enter, comparing today to yesterday to see the growth.
My column A is dates. My column B is video data.
Is there a way Excel can work out the TODAY date's data and minus YESTERDAY date's data to find the growth?
My thinking is that this would look something like the following, but I'm not sure how it would be written in Excel's formua:
Where Column A is = TODAY (), conduct sum where TODAY () minus data from yesterday (TODAY () -1).
-Find TODAY () - FInd TODAY'S associated data - Find YESTERDAY or TODAY -1 - FInd YESTERDAY'S associated data - Minus Yesterday from Today to find the difference.
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 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
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.
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.
I am querying a database in Microsoft Query and I have it set to pull in jobs that match a customers code in cell A1. I would like it so that if cell A1 is blank, it pulls in jobs for every customer.
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.
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.
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've got the following function that check if each cell has a date greater than TODAY(). If result is true, it'll display "NO GO". Otherwise, it'll display "GO".
I would want to improve on it such that if any of the 'B5:F5' cell is empty, it'll display "Incomplete" instead of "No Go".
=Date(year(today()),month(today()),A1) works great, However I need the formula to subtract 1 month if the value returned would be greater than today's date.
I have been working on this issue for some time, searches let me down paths to tell me of the color of the cell, but can't put all the pieces together. What I am trying to do, is upon Clicking Command Button 1 it will go row by row of column D (there are 2 headers so D3 would be the first fillable data) looking for dates that is past todays date, if past, it will color the cell red then copy it to the next available row in sheet2 then continue, date past due, color red, copy entire row to sheet 2 looping until the end is reached
I've attached a sample of something I'm working on and the layout it's currently in.
I have a list of customers and an amount per month, in the sample, I want to be able to use a formula that will select which month the customer first has an amount >0 and in the end date column, I want to see when the customer then stopped showing an amount >0.
I have a massive list of these customers and sorting them each month is difficult.
I'd like all Cells in column AC (e.g. AC$3$:AC$517$) to be filled with yellow fill if the cell value is any date greater than or equal to today. Any past dates can be left blank (for now)
I have designed a spreadsheet and i want a seperate worksheet (sheet3 for arguments sake) to retrieve customer data from worksheet 2 - The data I required is the customer data currently contained on columns A - H and there are around 50 rows. (A2 - I51). I want the seperate sheet to identify entries that have today's date in column I and then list them in Worksheet 3.
Im having difficulties with the syntax for retrieving the data from a seperate worksheet. There may be several entries for the same date and I want to the seperate sheet to report all customer data in worksheet 3? Also, if the date falls on a weekend I would like to retrieve any data for the weekend on the Monday so all cases can be reviewed.
What i have in cell D3 is the formula 'Today ()' to show the date formatted like so. January 2012.
In cells B1,B4,B7,B10,B13,B16,B19,B22,B25,B28,B31,B34 are results showing targets for set each month of the year (B1=January, B2=February etc). What i want to do in cell D4 is show the target for the month that we are in, in other words the target for the month showing in cell D3.
I have a data table with monthly data in columns (65 rows deep), with the months (in format dd/mm/yyyy but showing as Dec 05) running across Row 4.
I want to be able to use OFFSET to identify the current and previous 5 months, in order to dynamically chart various items in the last 6 months worth of data.
The charting bit I'm okay with, and I realise I need to assign Names for this to work, but I'm struggling with the OFFSET & date combination.
I have the following but it starts from a defined reference cell;
Trying to automate the period part of the impt function
To calculate current value of loan i have the below formula below with the 3 being the current period
=IPMT(4.3%/12,3,5*12,-7000)/(4.3%/12)
What i would like to do is for the period to be self calcuating from current date and the loan start date. I can return a value in days using start date - today() and aware month function returns the month number but stuggling to find a way to work out cumulative month from the start date.
formula on the attached sheet. I need to update it now. The strengths are going to stay the same, but the weaknesses (purple headers on spreadsheet) only have to show up if the value associated with it is 3 or greater. (So traits with quantities of 1 and 2 will not show up as a weakness)
I have attached a spreadsheet wit desired results.
I have a report with sales statistics from today and yesterday. Then I have a summary sheet that shows the balance between the two. But I'm only interested in seeing the lines with a balance greater than zero. Is there a better way to do it than I've already done? I've attached an example...
I am creating a spreadsheet that allocates hours to different categories of work - for example, "Fire Protection". I need the allocated hours for all of the different Fire Protection duties to only show up when a value greater than zero is entered in the column at the top of this category entitled "Fire Protection". If "Fire Protection" has a value of zero, then all fire protection-related duties will automatically be zero as well - in effect, this category of hours is nullified.
