Pivot Refresh After ODBC Query Complete Refresh

Jan 4, 2008

I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.

I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)

Refresh XML Data In A Map If The Source File Is Updated

Apr 7, 2009

If I have a spreadsheet with some data loaded in through XML and viewed as a
map, what is the VBA command to reload/reimport the source XML data?

The scenario is that the source data (XML) may change at any time, and I would like to reflect this to the presentation layer (excel) at regular intervals. I have a loop set up but cannot find the command to reset the source XML data.

When Query Refresh Its Say "Enable Automatic Refresh"

Jan 13, 2009

I've got a spreadsheet with a few queries to extract data into my sheet. Whenever I open the spreadsheet, I get a "query refresh" dialog box, asking if I want to "Enable automatic refresh". I keep clicking on the "Enable" button but I have to keep answering the question for each open. Isn't there a way to set "yean - ok - refresh the data" so that I don't have to keep saying "yes"?

Enable Auto Refresh Of Web Queries When File Opened

Sep 22, 2006

I have a special use PC which will power a projector 24/7. When it reboots I want it to load Excel, open a spreadsheet, and then connect to the web to get data using web queries.

My problem is that I get a dialogue box each time the spreadsheet is opened: "Enable Automatic Refresh." I need to remotely reboot the PC from time-to-time so I can't click the button.

I have set my security levels to low and that does not help.

Automatic Refresh Data In VB

May 11, 2006

I have an excel file with a link to an access database. when you open the excel file it prompts to refresh the data enable/disable. I select enable and the excel file is saved as a different file and the query reference in the new saved file is deleted (static version)

I have managed to write code to remove the database link from the new saved as file but what I still havent figured out is that the source excel file is refreshed automaticly when the script is running. I have set the database properties on automatic refresh on open which works if I activate manualy the file but with script down below, it does not refresh the data automaticly. What is the VB code to refresh the data in the source XLS file??

Sub main()
Dim prompt As Long
prompt = 200503
Dim objExcelApp As Object
Set objExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcelApp.displayalerts = False
objExcelApp.Workbooks.Open "c: emp est.xls" 'this file has the connection with the access database.
objExcelApp.Visible = True....................

Formula Will Not Refresh New Data

Sep 27, 2006

This may be something very simple, but i have a table which collects varying data from different worksheets to finally calculate a Work in Progress result. Each line on the table consists of the same formula, and certain columns are used to changes %s which change the result.

When the data is changed, the formulas work through and update the new values with no problem until the last couple of columns. With these i am finding I have to copy and paste the formula back into the same place to refresh the data. The formula for those cells which causes the problem are:

Column X:
=IF(AE87="TRUE",(IF(G87>100,100,105)),(IF(AE87="Y",F87,(VLOOKUP(G87, lookup,2,FALSE)))))
Column Y;
=+W88*X88/100
Column Z;
=+U89-H89+Y89
Column AA and AB and AC:
No formulas
Column AD:
=AND(W87<0,X87>70)
Column AE:
=TEXT(AD87,1)

I have checked in the options and the calculation is set to automatic which I presume can cause these problems.

Close Data Connections After Refresh

May 3, 2013

I currently have a spreadsheet that has data connections to a file on a shared drive. On opening the file I have it update the data connections so that the data needed is always correct. The file I use is to be distributed out to work colleagues to use and on testing it works really well apart from if you have the file open and somebody tried to open the original file where the data is pulled from for the connection. It says it currently in use by 'another user'.

Is there any code to add to workbook_open that will close/disable the data connection links once the data has been updated? The code I currently have is this:

VB:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:02")
Userform1.Show
End If
End Sub

What this basically does is gives it time to refresh the data connections and show a progress userform. The only thing is the connections stay live and I don't want that as the connection file is then locked. I'm hoping its something simple like ActiveWorkbook.CloseDataConnection added in after the userform has been shown (or something along them lines ). Also the data connections would have to be able to reconnect on open so that they can refresh again.

Excel 2010 :: Refresh XML Data From Web?

Aug 28, 2013

I'm using Excel 2010 to link a table to a XML file on my server. I'd like to distribute the Excel file to a group of people and have it updated every time the XML file is updated on the server.

In Excel, I'm pulling the data using "Data", "From Web" and then I type in the path of the XML file.

Excel then builds a table with all the data but if the XML file is updated on the server, the data remains static, even if I click "Refresh" or "Refresh XML data" on the table.

It should be able to download new data including new columns to the table, if any.

Excel Crashing On Refresh Of Data

Sep 12, 2013

I have a report that uses external data to feed a Pivot Table.

I noticed that the data source had been turned off automatically by Excel and turned it on and added the file location to the trust centre.

I also set the data to refresh when the workbook is opened.

I saved the file and then tried to refresh the data which caused Excel to crash. Of course now I can't open the file either because when it attempts to refresh itself on opening that causes Excel to crash as well.

Addendum: I have removed the Trusted Location which has caused Excel to disable the connection again. This has solved the crash on opening but I still can't refresh the data.

Refresh Data Userform From Sheet

Feb 20, 2012

I have a userform that collects data from a worksheet, if I press back on the userform to take me back to the sheet and then change the data, when I fire up the userform it doesn't update with the new data?

I've put DoActions in UserForm_Initialize tried userform1.repaint and nothing works..

To get from sheet to userform there is a button that valdates the data before showing userform1 so it should always run the UserForm_Initialize at a guess?

Label Filter And Data Refresh

Sep 25, 2012

I have a spreadsheet that has about 40 pivot tables that use label filters for filtering HH:MM and "greater than" selection. When I do a refresh, I have to go back and reset the label filters. Is there any way to not have to re-do every label filter after refresh? I have looked at all the settings and didn't see anything in there that looked like it would work. Maybe VBA?

Refresh TFS Data Without Displaying Alert

Oct 17, 2013

I have an excel workbook that includes data imported from a TFS query. I have a VBA macro that refreshes the TFS data, but since it behaves as though the user is clicking the "refresh" button, it prompts the user, warning that this will overwrite unsaved data.

I need to run this on a loop so that it continually refreshes and writes a status message out to a file that gets used elsewhere, but it won't work if it prompts after each loop.

Is it possible to disable this alert, defaulting to "Yes", as in overwrite? I've tried Application.DisplayAlerts = False, but that doesn't seem to cover this alert.

Speed Up Refresh Of External Data

Jun 29, 2009

I am having some issues using 'refresh all' to update my excel spreadsheet. Basically, it doens't seem to like doing anything greater than 65 queries before it gives me the error "Too many client tasks".

I've written a macro that updates all spreadsheets seperately, but this takes forever (I have approximately 250 worksheets within this workbook). Is there a way to speed this up? I believe the most time consuming part is establishing the connection to the access database. Is there a way to establish the connection to a database, and keep it open until all data has been updated?

Below is the code I am using:

Sub RefreshAll()
Dim e As Double
Dim sht As String
e = 1
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Do
Sheets("All ESNs").Select
Cells(e, 1).Select

sht = ActiveCell.Value

Sheets(sht).Select

Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Sheets("All ESNs").Select

e = e + 1

Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
"All ESNs" refers to a worksheet that contains a list of all serial numbers. These serial numbers correspond to the worksheet names.

VBA Conditional Formatting - Refresh When Data Changes

Jul 13, 2006

I searched, but couldnt find a thread which covers a VBA code which covers writing a conditional format into cells and changes each time contents of the cell are refreshed. The conditions are:

If activecell.value < 0 Then
.interior.colorindex = 3

If activecell.value >=0 Then
.interior.colorindex = 4

and i want this to happen for a big range of cells (range(a1:k1500) So basically, once the macro is run(which has the code to insert the conditinal formating for all the cells), if the user makes any change to the cell(within the range), the color of the cell should change automatically(like Conditinoal formating works by default). Prior to this, i was doing my cell coloring using the 'for loop' approach, but that of course does not reflect once the macro has ended.

Sheets(WS).QueryTable(query).Refresh

Excel 2010 :: Refresh All Data From Web Crashes?

Aug 3, 2013

Ok so I have an extensive worksheet that pulls a lot of data from the web, 47 connections to be exact. So on my work computer that runs excel 2007, the data refreshes instantly and I can see all the numbers flying through and changing as the sheets refresh.

However, my personal computer running excel 2010 hangs up with any type of data refresh, not just this sheet in particular. This computer has 8 GB of ram so I don't think that would be the issue?

Does excel 2010 have an issue with data refresh from the web?

Prevent PivotTable Refresh Showing New Data

Feb 18, 2009

I have about 10 pivot tables that only have one Pivot Field Item Selected (i.e., Jane Smith) with dates as column fields and a sum for data items. Everytime I refresh the pivot tables and there is a new person in the data tab (which is the data the pivot table is referenced to), the new name populates in the pivot table. I am sure I could include all of the names in one pivot table, but there is a long explanation why I only keep one name per pivot table in this particular workbook.

Attached is an example. As you can see, when you refresh the pivot table, the new name (Jason Smith) which I added to the data tab, will be included in the pivot table.

I am trying to figure out if there is way either with VBA or without VBA to prevent all of the pivot tables in the workbook to not select any new Pivot Field Items when I refresh the pivot tables.

Update Screen After Data Query Refresh

Dec 18, 2006

I am bringing data in from an ODBC database, I am using ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1) and then .refresh.

I want to run a sub after the data has been brought in which finds the last row and adds a formula.

The problem I have is that the data brought in is not show on the screen until all of the macros are finished.

Is there a way of forcing the screen to update?, I have tried the recalculate and refreshall commands or is there another method I should be using?

Sub autofill()

Dim myobj As Object

If ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Count > 0 Then
Call clearscreen
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Set myobj = ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1)

I require the data to be on the screen before I can find the last row used which is done in "addmaths"?

Macro To Force Refresh Bloomberg Data

Feb 8, 2007

I have a workbook that pulls in index data from Bloomberg, most data is updated realtime, but one index we track is only updated late at night. I want to write a macro that will refresh all of the data in the worksheet and then save a snapshot of the workbook. I have all the code for saving the snapshot, but getting the data for the one index to refresh is proving difficult. None of the standard ways I know to refresh external data (both Excel commands via tools menu, and Bloomberg specific refresh commands) seem to work on these cells. The only way so far I've found to get these cells to pull in current data is to delete them and rewrite the formulas.

suggestion for a Macro that would force a refresh of this data?
