I'm generally trying to figure out in my head most of the pluses and minuses for using Excel Worksheets as a database. In My case it means adding data from a UserForm to Excel cells and upon these data to analyze the info from the worksheets to other worksheets like charts, tables etc. Here's my view:
Pluses:
1. VBA and Excel integrate well as a whole, easy to use, well know interface
2. There're many available options to manipulate with the database once it's arranged properly in the excel worksheets
3. Don't need to give extra money software like Microsoft SQL etc.
Minuses:
1. Slower operating because it takes some more memory and processing time to reference the data in the cells. Here I mean operations between the UserForm(s) and the Worksheet(s)
2. You can have DB not bigger than 256*65000
3. XLS files are generally much bigger as a size -> slower work as a whole
4. Maybe (i'm not sure here) there're less tools and options than a real SQL software
What options I have:
1. Use some SQL DB which is free
2. Use Text Files to write and read from
I am trying to combine two worksheets into one worksheet. In the first worksheet I have countries in the first column. In the second column, I have the statistics for how many people belong to a certain religion. Then in the second worksheet, I have the countries in the first column and birthrate in the second column. How do I combine this information into one table in a third worksheet?
I have a number of separate worksheets in one spreadsheet all based on the same list (eg customers); the customer's name is the first column and hence the 'key' in each worksheet; when I insert or delete a line in the main worksheet the formulae in the first (customer name) column are amended in the other worksheets BUT I ideally need more than that; when I insert a new customer in the first (main worksheet) I need a new line with that customer name inserting into the corresponding place in the other worksheets; and when I move a line (eg delete a customer and move them to the bottom of the main worksheet list) I need the corresponding lines in the other worksheets moving as well. I guess what I really need is a drill-down function; a main customer list and sub-lists all linking back to the main lists like you would get in database tables.
I need to be able to pull information from a "master database" into seperate worksheets. Here is my problem. When I use a vlookup and my identifer is say "office property" then the vlookup will only pull the first "office property" and not retrieve any of the remaining "office property" rows.
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'm trying to lookup a database named database and return a time in column A, based on criteria in cells a1 and b1 on another sheet, A1 would contain a number and B1 would contain a day from mon-fri
eg of Database A B C D E F G 10:00 5000 Mon Tues
11:00 5000 Wed Thur Fri
and so on
if a1= 5000 & b1=Wed how can I return 11:00
I have tried index and match =index(a:a,match(a1&b1,b:b&e:e,0))
I've used a countifs, but I'm having trouble doing a sum in a similar way. I have 2 databases and I will try to explain below. I need the to sum the values of database 1 if the second database is >= 20. So the value I would expect on this example would be 900. I would also like to be able to highlight which ones are elliminated. Such as coloring the text red.
Just need to delete some hyperlinks in column A on 50+ worksheets. Thought a loop through all the worksheets would do it. Only works on active sheet. Forgive my ignorance, don't really even know where it goes, once it works - module or workbook?
Let's say I have a workbook with 7 worksheets named, for example, "Instruction", "Begin", "Worksheet 1", "Worksheet 2", "Worksheet 3", "End", and "Data". (in that order)
What I want to do is run a macro to go to whatever worksheet that is in between "Begin" and "End" and copy, for example, cells $C$1:$D$10; then paste as formula into worksheet "Data" starting from cell C1 and then down a list (i.e., copied cells from "Worksheet 1" get pasted as formula into "Data" cells C1:D10; then copied cells from "Worksheet 2" get pasted as formula into "Data" cells C11:D20, and so on and so forth).
But if I were to add more worksheets (e.g., "Recipe" and "ToDo") positioned in between "Begin" and "End" and run the macro again, it'll either 1) re-copy all the formulas from the included worksheets back into "Data" including the formulas from the newly added/placed worksheets or 2) it'll add the formulas from the newly added/placed worksheets and paste into "Data" at the end of the list.
Can create the macro to run based on the position of worksheet, and not based on the name of worksheet, since ultimately there will probably be over 10 worksheets between "Begin" and "End".
I'm trying to perform the same process to all the worksheets in my workbook. This is the code I have now, but it will only apply to the single active worksheet:
How do I modify this macro so that the worksheet array will select all the worksheets except sheet 1?? My workbooks will have varying numbers of worksheets ...
I've been browsing through postings for a while now trying to figure out a solution to my excel formula problem. While there is a lot of useful info, I have not found anything that will get me where I need to be. I am hoping that someone here will be able to me out. My project is this.
-A workbook with about 20 sheets.
-Sheet one will be a master list of serial numbers with blank fields for dates, account numbers etc.
-Sheets 2-20 will be used to assign those serial numbers to individuals.
-On each individual's sheet there are fields for dates, account numbers etc. next to the serial number.
-I need the master sheet to look through the individual sheets and insert the date, account numbers etc. into the master sheet.
I can get the IF function to work with one sheet but cant figure out how to do this across multiple.
I want to set up a database which contains customer comments and phone numbers, what I want to do is every 30 days or so, have the cells highlighted so that they remind me to call them.
uses CSV files for importing product data, problem is both have it formatted differently. What i ideally need is a master file that i can change whenever a price needs changing or product adding, this feeds down into 2 csv files that are formatted for the relevent softwares and then i can use a macro to upload these automaticly at end of day. ive tried using just excel but had no luck, i tried using access and custom reports but keeping getting errors as page size is 35 fields long and doesnt want to export as a csv,
Using an existing database with nonfixed boundaries I am creating a new one with uniform boundaries. The simple spreadsheet I will use in this comment isn't what the database actually looks like but represents what I am trying to achieve.
Here I have the old data, organised into sections that have the same assigned number. (Note: the assigned number may be the same as the previous cell). I wish to change it into this structure:
StartFinish# 020 2040 4060 6080 80100
It will be organised by the start and finish instead of by the assigned number. Instead I would like the number to reflect the lowest assigned number that occupies a part of that area.Is it possible to create a forumla which would achieve this?
I have a big database that has different name in column A(something like Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y8...). What i'm trying to do is to group them! In group A i have Y1,Y7, in group B i have Y2,Y3, in group C i have Y4, Y6 and etc! I think the solution is something like index...but i never worked with that in VBA! So each name of group A should copy on a new sheet, the next rows should come group B and etc! Is there a way to do that in VBA?
I am trying to find functions that allow me to categorise game attendance by team and day. EG: Out of the list, I would like to summarise the min, average and max attendance for the Broncos on Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon games (and for each team)....
in summarizing my data set. specifically, I have names of organizations listed in once column and in one of the others I have status of organization (open, closed), number of transactions and volume of transaction by months for each organization. In a summary sheet I need a formula that would look up for a specific organization in the long data base and match it with its status and count the number of "opened"(or "closed") organizations matching that specific name as well as sum the total volume of transactions for that specific organization. If I stated my request unclearly i can explain it better or attach a excel sheet.
I am working on a database for a client. The database has a few worksheets with an overview (contents) worksheet. What I am trying to do is create a hyperlink from the contents page to the corresponding worksheet. I can do this no problem...my problem is that if I add more data to the worksheet the hyperlink is lost. I am linking the sheets via cells so if a cell is moved down to add a new cell the hyperlink is no longer valid. Is there a rule I can create to keep the hyperlink and not have to adjust it every time new data is added.
I am trying to set up a database to collect information on students behavior. We need to collect the frequency of 3 things-time of day, behavior, and correction. Can I do this in Excel? How? Is there a way to write a correlation that will count the occurrence of words?
Has anyone ever tried to make a database out of Excel? I know that Access would be a better choice, but i have never done anything in Access and have no clue where to start. i know Excel, but i'm worrying that i will end up having too much data and my program will be slow.
I am very new with Excel and VBA, what i need to do is: develop an initial log in to open an excel workbook... and then open the workbook if username and password
1. ask for user name (field should be 50 characters)
2. Ask for a password (password alphanumeric with special characters field 25 characters)
3.Validate user to a salesman data base if log in attempt fails after 3 attempts, purge buffer, clear log in screen and lock keyboard for 60 seconds)
I have done the whole excel application all i need is this thing to pop up when double click in my direct access to it..
Also save document with the invoice number that in in a cell
and How can I make a cell auto increase the invoice number every time open workbook?
I was wondering if there was any code that would 'lookup' a value in a MS Access database in the same way that a Vlookup formula looks up values in tables in Excel.
Even better, if there was a fuction already written to do this.
