Online Database - Query More Than 15 Digits
Sep 25, 2011
I want to web query an online database. One of the columns contains numbers 16 digits long. When Excel imports the query I get the number in exponential format and it replaces the last number with a zero.
Example: The original is 1002002660100027, after query ends up as 1.002E+15 and reformated as text I get 1002002660100020 (Last # changed to a "0")
Is there a way to prevent the query from replacing the last number with a zero when importing from a query? Or.. can I get the query to paste as text?

I'm working on an Excel based product. As part of the security process I would like to require the user to enter a product id key into excel. Then the spreadsheet would compare the entered value to some kind of online database to verify the id key is valid. Finally, the spreadsheet would update the online database so that the id key is no longer functional. How easy is this to do?
I know verifying that the id key is valid is fairly simple.
Here is my biggest issue: How to get Excel to update the database and of course what form would this database take. Maybe its a table on a webpage, or google docs. Again the issue is how would I be able to update the table.

I have a workbook file containing several sheets, is it possible to pull data from another sheet or workbook with multiple column criteria.
For example :
i want to filled a cell in Sheet B from Luas_Tanam column in sheet A, i'm thinking a database query like this :
--select from sheet "A" where column "estate" = "BSRE" or column "Divisi" = "Div 01" or column "No_Block" = "J17" or column "Tahun_Tanam" = "2008"--
It goes like =DGET() functions, but i can't get it work, maybe any other solutions?? i've attached example of the workbook, sory for the bad "ENGLISH" question.

I am trying to create a macro that will import data from an external database; however, I want to be able to filter the data using input from the end user. The code will work fine if I do not use a variable (i.e. I type "31" to replace the second instance of "Reply" below).
Dim Reply As Integer
Reply = InputBox("Week Number", " Find Week")
ActiveWorkbook. Sheets("RawData").Select

I have created an Excel sheet that retrieves data from a ODBC source. I have created a macro using macro recorder to refresh the data by re-connecting to the database. However, the connection requires a password prompt and when the macro is run, you are still required to enter the password.
Is there anyway to make the macro so that the password is automatically entered and the user will just have to press a button to fully run the query update?

Is it possible to use cell references to define parameters in an SQL query to an MS Access database?
I assumed it was similar to using SQL but I'm getting an error in excel.
Here is my query: .....
The error I get in excel is: "Invalid character value for cast specification" and it wont let me specify a cell.

I need to create a new query that pulls data from a 2007 Access database into Excel 2007. When I invoke the 'From Microsoft Query' option after 'Data/From Other Sources', and then select 'MS Access Database*', the only file type presented is '*.mdb' . However, I need to pull from an '*.accdb' file type. I have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 installed.

I have created a query in an Access database which returns multiple results. I need to be able to run this query within Excel, but only showing the total of the results in a single cell.
I also need to run it multiple times on the same sheet using different dates. The Access query asks for a date each time it's run
I have only found ways to retrieve the entire results of the query into Excel based on the settings within the query.

I have an excel file that imports data from an access database. Now the user wants the database password protected I edited my code to include the line "user ID=admin;password=risk;" but I'm getting an error message stating: "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."
I'm bothered because I did not create a workgroup information file. I just want a password on the database I did not create users and groups.
Note this code works fine without the password protection and the added line.
My

I have a database that has outgrown excel (over 77,000 rows now) so i now have it in Access. I want to replicate the following situation I used to have using lookups in excel with a query to the Access database: Paste a list of identifiers into an excel sheet. Values corresponding to the list are returned from the database in adjoining columns. The list can be from 10 to 300 cells long an returns data in 14 columns. I have had a go with the Import external data wizard which generates a query but have not been able to work out how to base the query on a list of cells in excel and have the query return values for each of the identifiers in the list.

I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)

I've got access to a website that you input a bank account sorting code, and it tells you which bank it relates to. I've got a file with several thousand a month to check. It need a login and password but I've got them, so could have the screen open.
On the website, I enter the sortcode into a field, and it returns the bank who owns that sort code onto the screen as selectable text.
Is it possible, using VBA, to fill in the input field, press the search button, and snag the value returned in the text box?

I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay ‘07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc ‘07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage ‘01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir ‘07
Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994
Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘05
DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet
1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.

I've also attached an example excel spreadsheet of how I was thinking the first page would lay out.
I work for a company that has multiple properties around my region here. We all deal with similar companies and temporary workers, and what i'd like to do is set up an online document (using google docs?) where we can all go online with our login, search the document, and even add entries, as well as comment and rate on entries already existing. I may be stretching the boundaries of what excel can do, but I really don't want to start diving into programming something.. if it can be done this seems like the easiest way to accomplish this task.
Here's a quick summary of what I'm thinking (and use the attached as a visual example)
the first page will be the only place people will really "look" at. On there it will have searchable areas to load a list of names based on criteria (name/partial name/letter, as well as maybe a drop down or check box of specific standards the company or worker deals with like lighting/audio/video/etc)... In my mind the company or worker could specialize in more than one of these areas.
once you hit the search button, it will populate a list of names based off of that search. Inside of that scrollable box will be the name of the company/worker, and some ratings (it could be stars or even a number percent) - the name itself would be clickable, then next to that would be a button to rate the company/worker, and a button to comment. If you click on rating it would pop up a box to add a percent. that percentage would add a field on another page and the total average rating is what is displayed. If you click on comment, a pop up box would come up and they would be able to add a quick comment on that company or worker. Once they click add on that it would add/append that comment onto another page in the database with the time/date stamp.
In the next section, when you click on a name from the search, that contacts information will pop up in a pre-defined format. Clicking on a different name would replace all of the information with the new contacts information sort of "dynamically" loading the content each time from a separate sheet that has all of that information. Nothing in here will be clickable, just a nice laid out viewport of the information that's been entered for that company or worker with address/phone number/rating/etc.
Then finally in the last section would be a scrollable box that would pop up all of the comments that have been added for that person with a date/time stamp for each comment.
As far as rating system.. i was beating myself up a bit about how to do that, but ultimately not many people would have access to it so I'm not worried about individual hits.. as far as I'm concerned people can rate more than once, it would just add to it and it would average those ratings.

How can I create a vlookup function to automatically retrieve phone numbers off switchboard.com using my current mailing list?
I have a list of more than 4,000 of my customers. I want to ad in phone numbers automatically. I currently have the first and last name in one column. The address, city, state and zip are all each in their own column.
I have never use vlookup before, nor have I ever used excel other than for data entry. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this?
I searched this site and seen vlookup mentioned for this type of automatic data entry. There may be another way or method I am not aware of.

I have been tasked with streamlining a process to collect data from a specific online website (Web of Science) and import it into an Excel 2010 spreadsheet.
Currently they are going to the website, entering a short number of search parameters and then manually recording the pertinent data from the webpage. They would like to be able to enter a keyword in Excel (which acts as the search item) which then automatically does the rest of the process and provides them with a spreadsheet of the required data.
Is this possible? Perhaps by using Visual Basic code within Excel? I also saw a method that employed SharePoint Server 2010.

I am currently trying to create a database of products for my company. For each product I would like to include an image associated with it. I then want to have on another sheet a place where the user will click an error and be able to cycle through the products. As tehy cycle the associated image will pop up.
What I need to understand is after importing the image into excel, how do I associate that image to a cell so I can reference it in another sheet of the database. I am not concerned with how large the database will get, my pictures are quite small.

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.
