I wantto prepare a database in excel. This is database of five different excel files.Consolidate them in one excel file under five sheets.
Thesefiles have name say A, B, C, D, E. Macro should ask user to browse these filesone by one and copy data in new excel under individual sheet. Finally databaseshould save as name X and should contain sheet 1 as A sheets 2 as B etc.
I am using MS Excel 2007 and I am having to prepare a database that takes data from other sheets and places them on sheet one with a specific sequence. I'll explain, my data is in the following
form:
Sheet2 A1 to A1617 (each a different value)
Sheet3 A1 to A1617 (each a different value)
Sheet4 A1 to A1617 (each a different value)
....
....
....
....
...
...
Sheet13 A1 to A1617 (each a different value)
The result I require is so that on sheet 1 I have a database showing me this
A1: Sheet2 A1
A2: Sheet3 A1
A3: Sheet4 A1
...
...
...
...
A12: Sheet13 A1
A13: Sheet2 A2
A14: Sheet3 A2
A15: Sheet4 A2
...
...
...
all the way to
A19404: Sheet13 A1617
Is there a way I could get this done automatically? I know the basics of Excel and this has been a dilemma lately. I have several databases to work in this fashion and I do believe that there must be a way to solve this in excel so that it fills automatically.
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've been using a script I found on the web to export a book of 15 worksheets so that they are saved into a folder as 15 separate .csv files - these are to then be imported into Adobe InDesign at a later date.
Currently, the code looks like this:
VB:
Sub SheetsToCSV() 'Jerry Beaucaire (1/25/2010)
'Save each sheet to an individual CSV file
Dim ws As Worksheet, OldDir As String
[Code]....
If possible, I would like the sheets to be exported as consecutively numbered files, so that they can be set into the order they are exported in Windows Explorer, rather than alphabetically.
E.g.
Sheet names = Overview, Checking, Testing
.csv export = overview-17.05.2013.csv, checking-17.05.2013.csv, testing-17.05.2013.csv
Goal = 1overview-17.05.2013.csv, 2checking-17.05.2013.csv, 3testing-17.05.2013.csv
I'm not too fussed about the final formatting, as long as the consecutive numbers can be inserted at the start of the string, the rest isn't as important.
I have one that could be difficult. I have a database with names and corresponding numbers. I am trying to develop a report in which one could choose a name from a list (for example, using validation) and the report pulls out all the corresponding numbers for that name. Not the amount of numbers but the actual list of those that are linked to that name.

Specifically, I have customer sales data from my web site that contains order numbers and sales data. From Google analytics, I have transaction information that also contains the order number. The data element that is common to both is order number. I can't just paste columns from one file into the other because the records listed in rows may not match up.
I don't want to have to copy and paste data from one file to another for each record manually since I have thousands of records. Is there a way to merge the two files together automatically by having Excel "understand" that it should pair the two files together using the order number to create a row that contains data from both files?
I have database that needs to be updated automatically. Thus far, I have written a macro that will take out and add all necessary data from a file I open, however I would like to write a macro that will find the most recent files and use them to update the database. I would need the macro to 1) Find the folder name that corresponds to the part number in the database, and open that folder, 2) find the most recent file addition to the folder 3) open that file and run the macro that I've already written.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an input box that should only have numeric input. I have arranged for it to start loop back to the beginning of the box if someone enters letters instead of number, simply hits enter instead of making an entry, exiting on cancel. Now I need to have it loop if someone hits the space bar one time or more. Here is what I have:
Delta: On Error GoTo ErrHandler1 Response = Application.InputBox(Prompt:=MyPrompt, Default:=MyPrompt2, _ Title:=MyTitle) If Response = 0 Then GoTo Delta Z = Response If Response = Cancel Then MsgBox ("You have chosen to exit the macro. Shutting down.") Exit Sub End If If Response = False Then GoTo Delta If Response = 0 Then GoTo Delta

I have an Excel worksheet with one column being e-mail addresses. Other columns are Christian names, etc
Ideally can I create a full Mail merge with Outlook using whatever data I want. But probably just e-mail address and Christian name?
Otherwise be able to send one e-mail to all the e-mail addresses, without a major re-type.
when "Update"(code is under "Update"button) button is pressed to copy the data from userform to the database sheet exactly into columns where both column heading match, for example if userform has heading "Qty Received " all data from that column should be in the database column with the same header "Qty Received"
I attached my file when you will open the file you will find screenshot how it should look.
Cell A1 is HEAT_CODE
Cell A2 is W5H
In cell
=DMIN(Database,"Cost",A1:A2) return the proper value
I need something like the following so I can use fill down.
=DMIN(Database,"Cost","HEAT_CODE"=A2)
the above returns #VALUE! error.
I is it possible to convert all comma separated text files in a single folder in to excel files. But the requirement is to have 2 sheets in each new file. first to be the full file - with all columns, and in the second sheet to keep only colum A B D G H K L M O P R S T V W from the first sheet. The second sheet name must be the same as the first one but without the first "wlist_" in the name.
One more thing. The third column in the second is called "COUL". there are short letters for colors in french
can they be converted with the sort in English like it goes:
NO = B
BA = W
RG = R
SO = P
JA = Y
BE = L
VE = GY
GR = G
VI = V
MA = BR
BJ = TA
OR = O
Here is a link to the both CSV and an example excel file with the end result. In this example i haven`t change the shorts for the colors. It takes me too much time with the find and replace function. And at the moment i`m really pushed from time.

I have an access database that runs some excel subs. If the excel sub doesn't meet a certain criteria, I want to close the excel workbook and close the access database. Most google searches yield how to close excel from access but I need closing access from excel. I was thinking that if the "detonate" criteria was met, I could pass a variable over to access and terminate that way....
If x 5 then
thisworkbook.close
myaccess.accdb.close
end if
or

My situation is as follows:
1. I have one sheet with all the information about my customers, such as customer name, address, mobile number and email. I have also added customer reference no...... this could act like a primary key in databases...... This is SHEET 1.
2. my other sheet, lets call it SHEET 2.... is basically a template of my quotation where at the top I need to enter the customer details such as customer name, address, mobile number and email.. Sometimes I have returning customers and I need to enter their details again and again.... it is time consuming.
Initially I would like to enter all my customers detail into SHEET 1.
When I have to create a quotation in SHEET 2, I would like to enter a customer reference number and it should bring all the data from SHEET 1 about that customer and place it into SHEET 2 (quotation template)...
Some time ago, a friend of mine told me he didn't use any Pivot Tables at all, due to the imense space they require.
Instead, he made connections between Forms in Excel and the Databases using SQL.

I want to know people's experiences on different databases and suggestions on which database i can use maybe.
On this moment i do everything in excel, but excel is not longer working properly because of large files that need to be connected to 1 or more sheets.
This is the situation now:
VAX (Dos bases database) -> Comma seperated Files -> Importing in Excel -> Linking the data to sheets.

Who has experiences with databases ? And what are you doing with that database?
I have inherited a number of databases in work (running Office 2003). It has quickly become apparant that a vast amount of work is duplicated and so i am trying to cut down the data input and therefore the possible errors.......
I have narrowed most of the work down and now have a major worksheet (is that what you call a complete Excel file) named "master database" and several over minor files....
Currently what i am trying to do is to get one of the minor files to auto populate an area of the master database. I will try to explain it below...
1. Minor database has 2 columns with data i require to auto populate the master database. (1 column (B) is called 'off', the 2nd column (C) is called 'on').
2. A number will be inputed manually into either 'B' only or 'B and C' columns, depending on the criteria of the job..
3. The criteria of the job is dictated by column (Z) where the text 'A' or 'ATL' is inputed
4. The master database i would like to add up the numbers inputed as a total from columns 'off' and 'on' and place them into seperate columns 'E' and 'G' of the master database.
5. IF column (Z) shows 'A' then only column (B) 'off' is to be calculated and put into the master database at column (E)
6. IF column (Z) shows 'ATL' then BOTH columns (B and C) 'on' AND 'off' are to be added together and column (G) populated on the master database.....
To make mattters more complex. An expiry date is shown on the master database at columns (D) and (F).
IF column (E) does not exceed 12 by the expiry date, i would like the cell (D) to turn red
IF column (G) does not exceed 10 by the expiry date, I would like the cell (F) to turn red

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need multiple users, each with their own Workbook to utilise data from a central database I made in Excel. I therefore need to put the central Excel database online and link to it. However, two issues so far:
1) I don't have an online domain or server to put it, nor the possibilities to get one quickly
2) Putting the central database into SkyDrive/OneDrive haven't been working so far, as the links are always local and not addressed on the OneDrive server domain.
Therefore my question:
Is there any way I can use the cloud power of OneDrive to host a (fairly simple) database without my computer being turned on and running the workbook?
Any code for deleting empty rows from a database, without sorting the database.
