Normalizing Data For Import

Apr 13, 2009

I need to import a massive spreadsheet into QuickBase. It will have close to twentyG records when(if) I can do this thing.

The table i'm importing into (Groups) is a details table which carries the 'Many' attribute in a M:N relationship.

There is a column in the spreadsheet (Groups) that is distributed over several columns:

UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID, SPE-PRE, SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY, HII-PRE, SPR-DDR

In order to import into QuickBase, I need these data to be normalized:

UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID
12345---------------SPE-PRE
12345---------------SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY
56789---------------HII-PRE
56789---------------SPR-DDR

Can Excel create a normalized arrangement like what I have above without my having to manually work this? It would take days if I had to.

Sorting And Normalizing Chart Data?

May 7, 2014

I *think* I know the answers to this, but we'll see...

Let's say I have five salesmen:
Mr. Red
Dr. Green
Ms. Blue
Mr. White
Mr. Black

Each month they make sales.

So I have a table, where each salesman is a row and each month is a column, and the cell is populated with sales.

I'd like to do a COMBINED Horizontal Bar chart, where:
- Each row is a month
- The size of each person is actually their PERCENT of Sales, not the total amount (without me having to add rows of calculations)
- Each month automatically sorts the colored boxes in size order.

In other words, here's sample data:
Red - ( 0, 3, 0, 9)
Green - ( 8, 3, 6, 5)
Blue - ( 7, 3, 2, 8)
White - ( 4, 2, 3, 7)
Black - ( 5, 5, 5, 5)

So the top bar would have four colored boxes, in the following order: Green, Blue, Black, White The green box would be 33 percent of the total width, the blue one just a titch smaller, and so on

The next bar would have five boxes, and would be the same length as the one above, and have, in following order: Black, Red, Green, Blue, White The black box would be just smaller than a third (5/16 of the length); red, green, and blue would all be the same size, and the white box would be a titch smaller

The next bar would also have four boxes (time for Red to go!), and would be the same length as the ones above, and would have, in the following order: Green, black, white, blue The boxes would be sized appropriate to their ration in that row (ie, even though Black has sold five each month, each month it makes a different proportion)

and so on.

A doughnut chart does the percentage-of-total thing snazzily, but the sorting gets weird.

I actually havve a ton more data than in my example, so manual calcs and manually manipulating won't work here.

Excel 2007 :: Import Data From Worksheet Into Another And Group Data Into Sections

Mar 2, 2012

I want to be able to run a macro that will export some of the data from a worksheet called Generated Report into another worksheet called Matrix. The data will be taken Generated REport and grouped into sections of the worksheet. These sections will be defined by the BRID value.

The Data that i want to export will be from the first 5 columns within the Generated Report(note there are other columns which data is not required from).

The following columns will be exported from Generated Report -

BRID,Requirement, Bug Description, Bug ID and Alt Bug ID.

BRIDRequirement Bug DescriptionBUG ID Alt Bug ID
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123
PQ116PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot 43713 126

For Matrix

The data will be imported into Matrix worksheet into the following columns as part of the row headings

- Requirement, Description, Bug ID and VF Bug ID.There will also be other columns (outlined below) which i will use to manually enter data

The data will be grouped and imported into the relevant section by its BRID eg PQ115, PQ116 etc.

I want each section (marked by BRID number)to be separated by row headings.

These row headings are to be generated after populating all data within each BRID number.

When the data has been populated in each row there is a column called 'Status' which contains drop down list boxes which can be assigned.

The default status will be set to 'To Do'. The complete row headings are displayed with Output from Generated Report underneath

BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID PC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123 To Do

BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID QC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ116 PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot43713 126 To Do

So far the macro that i have been using allows me to locate the data for each specific BRID in Generated Report and copy into the corresponding BRID section within the Matrix. I have to repeat this step for each new BRID and i want to be able to whole automate this process.

Import Multiple Text Files & Copy Each Import

Jan 29, 2008

I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.

However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:

Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!

The code below shows is for the import macro only:

Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)

Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer

External Data In Spreadsheet Without Having To Import All The Data

Aug 6, 2009

I'm wondering if I can use external data in an excel spreadsheet without having to import all the data. I basically need a persistent connection with the external data and I want the excel spreadsheet to get the item descriptions by using the item number as the user types in the item number. Writing out the descriptions is killing me and I have all my products in an excel spreadsheet already. I really need someway to link two separate excel files together. One with data and one with user input that searches that data as I type in the item number.

Import Data Or Lookup

Mar 3, 2008

I am trying to import data from an external source file (Excel) into an Excel sheet that will get uploaded into a db accounting system.

The source data varies month to month in the number of rows and need I to import 7 columns.

The upload file will be saved as a text file for the upload.
I tried to use Import External Data, but since the rows vary in size (anywhere from 1 - 2000 rows) I had to create a named range for the entire column. Upon saving this caused all rows beyond the last row of data to have quotes in them which will kill the upload.
Is there a way around this with the Import External Data, or is there a better way through some combination of INDEX, MATCH, INDIRECT or the like?

Import Data From Different Spreadsheets

Aug 7, 2007

I am trying to import data from different spreadsheets "about 100" to a principal spreadsheet which will have all the centralized data. I included the principal spreadsheet layout and a sample of two detail spreadsheets. The information that I want to import is from column B 1 to 5 from the detail spreadsheets and put into the principal spreadsheet from row D to G.

Is there any way to import this information automatically, like creating a macro or something similar.

I also need it to sort by salesman with all of their sales in the different catagories grouped together. I am not sure if this can be done given the way the salesman's names are not on each line with their sales.

Not Enough Memory On Data Import

Sep 9, 2008

I'm trying to import data into my sheet with formulae like this in row1(Columns A:I): ='F:Dir[File.xls]Sheet'!A2.

The files I'm importing the data from all have 50.000 rows and 9 columns, so I copy the formulae downward 50.000 times. This generates an error ('Not enough memory'), not surprisingly. I've also tried to do it in steps by way of VBA; first two thousand, copy and paste values, next two thousand etc. But that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know of a solution to this memory problem or a way to work around it (without opening the files with the data in them).
