However, as you can see from the text in bold i'm currently telling the url instead of bringing it from a cell with an url. I want the macro to be able to select the url from a cell.
I'm trying to use this solution, but i keep getting a Run-time erro ´5´:
Invalid procedure call or argument.
connstring = Range("GUS8301!B3").Value
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=connstring, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
i have recorded a macro wherein i need to copy paste some data in my database everyday. now the problem is tht the macro doesnot catch the last row.
for instance if i paste data today in A2:A10 tomorrow it should automatically paste data starting from A11.
the range of data tht i copy is not fixed.
This is a part of macro... Range("A1").Select Selection.End(xlDown).Select (This takes me to the last record on that row) is there anyway i can copy the data in next column?
'Range("A11").Select (This will work only for the first time when i run the macro)
but if i use the same one tomorrow Range("A1").Select Selection.End(xlDown).Select This will take me to the last record but.. it will again go to 'Range("A11").Select and then paste records there
I worked on this macro for about 2 hours, with only partial success.
I have credit card data (will attached next post) sorted by tender type. I recorded teh subtotal feature, after selecting the data. I used teh go to, special, last cell, feature to get the end cell for selection, and also set the print area to this range. I did it in relative mode.
the macro worked, but when I also tried to insert three rows above the "grand total" cell, then insert a sub total of just master card adn visa, it in one of these added rows didn't work upon playback.
also - Can I lock the position of my macro buttons? IN properties it's set to locked but they still move when teh data changes. Can i put them on teh tool bars?
So I have some data that I'd like to extract from some financial sites that I'm a member of (one in particular is investors.com). I try and pull stock info from the site, but I have to manually initiate a new web query, go to the website, login, then cancel the web query for the macro on my spreadsheet to start pulling information. What I'd like to do is have two cells referencing my user id and password, and then click a button that will goto the website from excel, login, and allow the extraction of financial info to occur.
I have a Excel database query which of which i import into Sheet 1. On a daily basis I need to edit this query and change a critea field to yersterdays date. Is there a way in which I could run a macro to change this query for yesterdays date without having to manually go into the query?
I have tried to run the macro, however I can only run this if I have a specific date in my code e.g. 11/03/2007 and not a formula to show yesterdays date.
I want to write some VBA that retrieves data from a lotus notes database into excel. I will then have some other code that manipulates the data for the user. I have managed to do this with MS Query manually. However when I start to put into VBA my problems start. As I do not know Sql I use the macro record function. This worksso far so good. The problems seem to start when I re-run the macro and try to save the workbook. Excel just sits there with the CPU running at 99%. I left the pc for an hour and it was still in the same condition with the status bar showing save.

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.
My query is this WEB 1 http://fc-web-phl1-101.phl1:8090/gp/...runReport.y=12
I'm trying to get my macro to connect to Infomaker and run a query. I have successfully done this in the past by using the record macro function. But, when I try to record the macro and paste the query syntax from Infomaker into the commandtext box of the connection, I get the "too many line continuations" error.
I've been looking at ways to write the code rather than record, but the syntax for the Infomaker queries doesn't seem to mesh well.
The syntax of the query in Infomaker is (copy/pasted, all "'s are necessary):
I have an access database that has many queries and in order to speed it up I have a Macro in access that runs it in no time, but I need to be able to run the query in access via a trigger in Excel and have come up with the below, but it's not working.
I am trying to write a creative procedure that on workbook open will check the name of the worksheet if it includes the day's date in sheetname & if it doesn't rename the sheet & delete current region from A1, else exit the sub.
Then runs a query on an Access DB to place in the above worksheet.
I need this due to novice XL & DB (8)users.
This is what I have at the moment on a test DB courtesy of J Walkenbach's sample files .....
I am running a Showcase query from inside excel. I want the query to update, drop the data in excel save it and then close. The problem is that the save command is executing before the data is dropped. The Wait command pauses all processes so it won't work. Is there a way to have a minute of filler until the data is dropped so it will save?
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?
I am currently working on a project that uses Excel to parse a .txt document. Its working quite well for me. It functions by having two worksheets. In the first worksheet I use the " import external data" menu to import my .txt file. In another worksheet I have set up fields that show only the important information from the .txt file and leave the junk behind.
I’m looking to improve the functionality of this by adding a button to automatically clear the data in the first worksheet so that new data can be added quickly.
I have searched the forum and found a couple of threads on "QueryTables". After reading up on those, I have made a simple button with the following code.
After I load a .txt file and parse it using the formulas set up, I copy my needed information and then press this button. The cells clear, and the QueryTables are "reset" (maybe not the right word). Now a different .txt file can be imported and the process starts again.
The problem I am having is that. If there is no "QueryTables.Item(1)" to delete, I get a run time error. (Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range).
Would anyone know how to make my button conditional to having a "QueryTable" active? I.E. If I press it when there is no data loaded it doesn't do anything or give me that error.
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!
I am trying to query Active Directory for a list of user attributes by using a list of usernames and output the results into column B,C,D.....
All the usernames are listed in column A and it ranges from 100 to 1000 usernames.
The macro GetAdsProp works but it is very slow because it's a function and every time it gets called to return a value, it takes a long time to query. It will take forever to get 1000 users.
I've also tried the code below, however one of the AD attribute that I am querying for has a dash (i.e. test-address) and I can't put a dash in the vba code because it automatically puts spaces in between the dash and the text (see red text below) which will fail to find the attribute. Also, I need it to loop the whole column A and not just one account.

I am trying to make a macro that will query a column J4 for a date, if the date is found say "Wednesday, July 4, 2012" (J8) get the text from Column K8 "Independence Day" and insert the text in Cell (H1).
The Macro Prints sign in sheets with the date in H2, it only prints Monday through friday. Then skips the weekend and the next date will start the following Monday.
The Federal Holiday schedule is in column range J (Date) and K (Holiday)
I have a protected worksheet containing an SQL query. I have two cells on the worksheet unlocked so that users can enter fresh parameters to feed the query. Because I have to use MS Query to interrogate our SQL server (current IT decree), the query won't support parameters directly when the query cannot be represented graphically - so I have to manually edit the sql command text and then refresh the query - or at least that was why I wrote the code below
The problem: My macro won't unprotect the sheet before it calls the SQL.it therefore won't update the sheet to detail the DSN, command text and number of parameters (latter should be 0) - info just used to verify queryit won't run the query / return the data as the sheet is still protected Comment: I have had to remove sheet protection in order to allow the sql to execute and return data. If protection is removed, the query does execute and return data ( changes in the "parameter" cell contents do cause the query to be correctly modified) I could comment out the debug info but the query still doesn't return data if the sheet is protected.

I'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.
I import data from web forms via Excel Web Query which has dates in the US format. I would like to convert them to the uk format. Unfortunately, unlike other data import functions in excel, web query doesn't seem to have an option to choose that. Also after asking the forum via this post, I figured that I cannot use a formula to do this, and need a macro. I recorded a macro which exports text to columns where I choose MDY function to convert the date.
However, the macro doesn't convert the bottom part of the blank cell for some reason. The macro did not work in either modified or untouched versions. When I actuallly do it through excel buttons, it works.
i import a table from the internet through web query and i reformat the cells to suit my liking, but when i refresh the data the cell formatting goes back to how it started. how do i make it so it always keeps that same cell formatting?
I'm trying to build a query which matches two tables which say has a number like A#### , I want the query to give me the A number's which do not belong in the second table but which do in the first table. i believe i need an SQL query to do this?
I 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.
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?
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.
