Online Database - Query More Than 15 Digits
Sep 25, 2011I 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?
Query An Xml Document With Ado
Mar 30, 2007I was able to create a recordset of data and then save the recordset as an XML document. This XML document is aggregated data for a chart in Excel.
I need to hit the XML with ADO into a recordset from my select statement...
As you can see below, I think I found the Driver I need to use??? I am not sure that this is correct for Excel VBA ADO???
sSQL = "Select * From C:ADO.XML"
When I open the recordset.open sSQL, cnDB the error I get is this:
"The filename, directory name, or volumne label syntax is incorrect"
Set GetXMLDB = New ADODB.Connection
With GetXMLDB
.Open "Provider=MSDAOSP; Data Source=MSXML2.DSOControl.2.6;"
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
End With
VBA To Query SharePoint Document / Folder Permissions
Jan 4, 2012I'm using VBA to query file information (path, name, size, dates, etc.) on files on a SharePoint site and returns them to Excel. I'm curious if also returning the document's permissions is possible. If not for the document, can one programmatically get the folder's permissions?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSearching For Mistakes In Document While Using Another Document As Reference
Feb 2, 2014I am processing a fair few Invoices, which are being sent to me via e-mail as excel documents, very often they contain mistakes, a decent amount of mistakes. Usually the prices are wrong.
I keep track of every single entry on the invoice on my own document - Tracker, which I consider to be the superior/more correct document to the Invoice presented to me by my contractor.
Both of the documents have a reference number, which is a specific docket number, and horizontally, in the invoice, there is going to be a price for this docket. In my document, there is going to be a separate column for the total price.
Is it possible (I guess with VBA) to check for mistakes in the Invoice, but use the Tracker as a reference for this check.
Tracker has
columns
A - Name
B - Department
C - Date
D - Docket No.
C - Total price for the docket (calculation of E to Z)
E to Z - all smaller entries
Invoice has
columns
A - Date
B - Docket No.
C to E price for that docket, but it is spread, because departments are separated out, so each VAT account can be charged accordingly. I guess it is possible to do a separate column for the price, if it is easier to do a script that way.
Basically, I need to check if in the Invoice document, the price (C to E) for Docket No. (B) is the same as the price (C) for the Docket No. (D) in the Tracker.
I would like the wrong entries to be highlighted on the Invoice Document, so I can see straight away, that this needs attention.
Not always the price is wrong, sometimes the Docket No. is spelled incorrectly (Dyslexic contractor), hence the highlighting.

Mar 18, 2008I'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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOnline Sharable Dynamic Company List
Jan 18, 2013I'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.

Using Vlookup To Find Phone Numbers Online
Apr 12, 2006How 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 :: Importing Online Data Into Spreadsheet
Jun 2, 2014I 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedExcel Macro To Lookup Edit Data In Online Database
May 18, 2012I'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.
Pass Parameter From Excel Through MS Query To MS Access Query
Nov 26, 2012I 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.

Create An Conection With MS QUERY To A Csv And Query Data
Sep 6, 2008I 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 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!
Query An Access Query With VBA Function
Jul 8, 2008I'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.
Edit Query Using Query Wizard

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..
Save Back Up Copy Online At Each Save
Mar 27, 2008I have a sheet which I would like to back up online every time it is saved.
I have a sub, OnlineFile(), which I have used many times without any problems, which creates a .BAT file to use ftp to upload files onto our server. As arguments, it takes the local file path that you want to upload (or download to), the name of the file as you would like it stored, the online file path, and whether you want to upload the file onto the server, or download it off the server.
It should be very easy to combine the two: what I tried was:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
Call OnlineFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls", "Rubbish.xls", "wwwrootexcelfilesMasters", "Upload")
Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
End Sub
Every time I ran this, the file got uploaded correctly, but Excel had a series of problems. Often the code ran fine the first time it was run, but crashed the second time round.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I found that the problem came about when the file was trying to save itself - i.e. after the end of the sub. If you pause any macros from running, it still saved fine, but when the code ran, it found errors, froze or closed excel.
My thought at this point was that the code was fragmented or something. I made a new sheet, and retyped just the relevant bits of code (i.e. the BeforeSave sub, the OnlineFile sub and created the form called by OnlineFile). The problem persisted.
I've come up with a workaround for this now (which uses the same OnlineFile sub & form, and works fine), but it's driving me crazy - why does this cause excel to die? Particularly on the second time through? The code seems far too simple to cause such problems - is there a bug in Excel perhaps (I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows XP).

Cannot Sort Whole Document
Oct 31, 2013I am trying to sort a document alphabetically but cannot. I have two lines in the doc that previously had headers on them. I was able to remove them, but am now left with a row that has what looks like a backwards L in the last cell. The bottom line is also darker, but there is not a detectable border set. If I choose the rows that include these rows in my sort option, it is disabled. Sorting is available if I do not. I need to sort everything.

Also, the new document has some data in it already. So it has some data and it will get new data from the form.
Can I Autosave A Document?
Sep 11, 2009Is there a way that I can have an excel document "autosave"?
Specificaly I would like: If a value in a specific cell's value is changed I would like the document to automatically save the document as the name of the value that is typed into that cell when the user closes the document.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be great if there was some way to do this.
Protecting The Document
Jan 15, 2008Version used: Excel 2003
I have a spreadsheet that everyone in my department uses. My boss has asked me to protect certain columns so that only I can edit them but leave others so that the rest of the depratment can use those.
I have tried locking the ones I am to use and unlocking the ones the others can use then protecting the document. This works well enough as far as it goes, however, it is combersome having to unprotect then reprotect it every time I need to work on it. Also, that method makes the drop down lists that we are using for easy sorting no longer function.
Document Stability
Mar 18, 2009I am currently building a program in Excel, which can carry out numerious tasks. Having over 15 userforms, countless macros and several worksheets of caculations in the background, basically all geared towards capturing customer data, producing a application form and submitting the data to an ".mdb" file.
Now everything is going well so far with little in the way of problems and the document is 2.5Mb in size (users centrally access this Read Only). I'm conducting a daily Clean Project on this but I have a few questions...
1) how far can I push an Excel workbook in terms of size/content before it becomes unstable
2) are there any tips that can be offered for program stability
3) Has anyone built anything on this scale before
...the reason I ask is the program could potentially double in size over the next 6 months depending on the volume of application types it is able to produce. I want to make sure I have considered stability.
