My WB imports external data on file open
I want to extend my VBA code to uncheck "Save query definition" after the updated workbook is saved.
I want to be able to disable the save query definition option for a worksheet using VBA. Right now I have to right click a cell and then go to Data Range Properties and then uncheck the save query definition box. If there is a way to automate this that would be great.

I need to create a query that will find all of these rows and delete the entire rows.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently have a macro that imports data from a web-based query then deletes column A from the query. I do this because I am using a VLOOKUP on the data and the VLOOKUP value would be in column B if I didn't.
The website has changed the format and now once column A is deleted, I'm left with a format of FirstName LastName, POS TEAM (i.e. Tom Brady, QB NEP). My VLOOKUP looks for FirstName LastName so I'm getting the "N/A" error now. I need to remove the "," and "POS" and "TEAM" from the imported data. This would be easy enough if the number of characters right of and including the comma was consistent, but it isn't. (Also, text to columns then CONCATENATE won't work because VLOOKUP looks at values, not formula results...)
Now I know the formula =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1) works, but how would I incorporate this into the worksheet to keep the values in column A and not add additional columns to throw off my VLOOKUP.
Ideally I'd like a simple macro to add to my current macro to use the above formula, but I'm not sure of the wording.
I do not have a strong math background. I am quite sure the term "kth" I see in different examples is a reference to a variable.

B3 cell definition
1/ if A3<=A2, then choose value in B2
2/ if A3>A2 and A3>A4, then "(B4-B2)/(A4-A2)*(B3-B2)+B2"
3/ if A3>A4, then choose value B4
I can select a range within my worksheet but need a way in which I can get the range address information so that I can use
"activeWorkbook.names.add name:="EmployeeData", refersToR1C1:= "
The following VBA code, when run, comes out in Excel erroneously as =INDEX(EL!'AI13':'AI32',MATCH(Myinput,EL!'AI13':'AI32',0)+1,1
instead of
=INDEX(EL!AI13:AI32,MATCH(Myinput,EL!AI13:AI32,0)+1,1
Worksheets("Inputs"). Range("C1").FormulaR1C1 = "=INDEX(EL!AI13:AI32,MATCH(Myinput,EL!AI13:AI32,0)+1,1)"
I have five macros that look like this
Sub Region1()
ActiveWorkbook. Names.Add Name:="Region_Name", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Scroll.xls!Name_1"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Region_Values", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Scroll.xls!Region_1"
End Sub
Sub Region2()
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Region_Name", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Scroll.xls!Name_2"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Region_Values", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Scroll.xls!Region_2"
End Sub...............
In the chart Region_Name is the name of the series Region_Values is the values of the series. I have a button for each routine. I want to use only one button instead. How?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI update a daily incident report that is sorted by priority of the request as well as the date/time. In the past, I've recorded and run macro's to add a number to a priority so that it can sort numerically. Lately I've been tasked with building similar functionality into more reports. I am wondering whether I can tell Excel what order to sort items into (ie "Sort by HIGH, then MEDIUM-HIGH, then MEDIUM, then LOW)?
With regards to auto-fill lists (for want of the proper name), I report on multiple IT systems that fall into six "system" categories. Is there a way I can set up the "System" column to automatically update the correct data once the IT service is entered, rather than manually look up systems category then click the relevant system in the drop down box?
In my attachment, I have a worksheet where I need to pick a rating from a combo box or list (Expert, Leading, Applying, Learning, Under Performing). I will be picking this rating 10 different times on this worksheet and the selections will not be the same in all cases so the definition I need won't always be the same.
I would like to return the definition (definitions are detailed on another worksheet, Data Elements) to the cell to the right.
I've tried IF statements but when I make one selection from the combo box, all the combo boxes select the same thing. I've also tried vlookup but can't figure it out and can't find an explanation in layman's terms.
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.
Need the query parameters which takes the date from the cell into the query. How should I modify my query if it needs to take the date from a cell?? The bold one date should be picked from one of the cell in sheet 2.

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!
If I have multiple entries with different but repeatable text values in one column - how do I count all unique ones ? Is there a function or does it have to be a pivot table of sth ?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.
I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..
Is it possible to set parameters on a query but use a wildcard to return all instances? I have a query that I want to be able to set multiple parameters on but give the user the ability to select as many or as few parameters as they want to see. 2 of the parameters are number fields and 2 are text fields with no spaces.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which we use to rank scores for our golf society.
At the start of our season it was decided that if anyone of the top 3 scores were tied we would separate them using a second criteria(back nine score). Any scores from position 4 down would still be tied.
From searching this forum i have managed to separate ties using the 'back nine' second criteria(using a hidden helper column) but only for all the ranking positions not just the top 3.
I have attached the file.
how I would be able to weed out and remove previous references to query names.
For example if I have an external data query named "qry1 by week", then remove the query, then create another one, how do I use the same query name again? Surely there's a reference to it somewhere, that I can eliminate?
Here it goes.
My spreadsheet is populated by data coming from MS Query, i'm entering a parameter value to display the desired data in my spreadsheet. My problem is, i have to close and open the file to have the parameter prompt so in that case i can enter the parameter value.
Is there anyway to call the parameter prompt so i will not open and close the file, its really time consuming...
If possible, i just want a command button that calls the parameter prompt.
I am having problems getting to work a web query in a VBA macro. The goal is simply to get a value retrieved from a web query into an excel cell.
The below code works well with standard html pages (like replacing the url with www.google.com). However, the page I want to retreive (a query at geonames.org that retreives an altitude value for given lattitude/longitude values) does not contain any HTML headers, but just a number in plain text. In this case the below query does not returns anything. I tried different formating options for the query but up to nownothing works.
What my excel sheet is doing is importing a bunch of data from a query. I have all my queries linked to buttons through macros. There are going to be 20-30 buttons that are linked to a query, and each query will produce a different amount of data(in this case, account numbers). When pressing a button linked to a query(i also have one 'Clear' button that just deletes the data, thats all), i use a macro to delete the previous query so it can import the new query into the same cell. The problem I am having is that when a button is pushed and there is no query, I am getting an error message. Here is my original code(macro), and the underlined code is where i am getting the error
