Collect Data From Different Computers
Dec 30, 2006
I bought 32 laptops out of my own moeny (used) to get my 5th grade students into the 21st century. I have several programs working on these laptops which output data in text and xls files. I would like to either:
1. Poll the files on each workstation at the end of the day and bring the data into excel (I have worked in VBA). Computers are named Comp01 to Comp33.
2. Better: have the workstations save the files to my NAS device so they are on one hard drive.
I would like to keep it simple (I'm a teacher not a good programmer.) Is the "Import External Data" the way to go for the text files? Can a macro go out and loop through the 32 laptops using that or some other add-in?

- I have total of 13 sheets in a workbook - 12 sheets represent 12 months with data; 13th sheet is single sheet in which i would like to get complete overview of 12 months
- each of 12 sheets has actually sales results for multiple products with following data: internal code, manufacturer part number, name, and qty sold in that month
- situation is that some products have been phased out during the year and some were introduced so each sheet is slightly different in terms of in which row certain product is located
What i would like to achive is to make 13th sheet (whole year overview) do the following:
- there is a list of all the products in it, each product has unique internal code - this code (from each line) should be used to find that code in each monthly sheet, then find its monthly sales value (copy it) and paste it in sheet 13 in cell that represents this product and particular month.
In other words i would like to see for each product what was monthly sales throughout this year, but avoid manually filling in qty for each product per month.

I have 2 excel files(X and Y), and I would like to collect data from file X to file Y.
.................
In file X, I have a products prices lists that I got from my supplier. It look like that:
column:
A = LIST NUMBER (NUMBER)
B=ITEM NUMBER (TEXT)
C=DESCRIPTION (TEXT)
D=PRICE (TEXT OR "CALL" OR PRICE LIKE $90.00)
E= LIST NUMBER (NUMBER)
F=ITEM NUMBER (TEXT)
G=DESCRIPTION (TEXT)
H=PRICE (TEXT OR "CALL" OR PRICE LIKE $90.00)
Rows of A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H start from 1 to 400
..................
In file Y, I have 1 column and it looks like that:
column:
A= MODEL NUMBER (TEXT OR NUMBER)
..................
The calculation I would like to do is:
pass in each ROW of Coulmn A in file Y and search if there is the same MODEL NUMBER (TEXT OR NUMBER) in file X at ROWS C,G (The DESCRIPTION (TEXT)) for example:
If in file Y Column A1 = FG45673 (MODEL NUMBER ) the macro will look in file X in Columns C,G to see if it finds this MODEL NUMBER. It can find text like: "3 pcs of FG45673 " so it means it find it !
THEN the MACRO should copy from the price Columns D or H to Column B of file Y.
In other words to collect the products prices from file X according to their model number field and to copy it to the same MODEL NUMBER of file Y.
in file X there are 2 lists of products prices as you can understand from my info.

I am trying to use VBA to copy data (Invoice Process information from a few different excel worksheets and paste it all onto one master sheet). There are probably 10 sheets and each sheet will contain varying rows but a fixed numbers of columns. One sheet may have 20 rows the next 50 then next 75 and so on.
Batch# PO# Invoice serial# Process details Skip reasons Processed/Skipped
With a formula, I don’t know how to read each page and paste into a master sheet.

I've been trying to familiarize myself with MS Excel's Web Query function (MS Excel 2007) in order to collect statistics from a baseball game.
Here is this particular page I'd like to start pulling certain data from: http://www.mmobaseball.com/stats.aspx
I can get the first page of data easily, the first 50 or so players and their stats, but I cannot get anything from the other pages (which are accessed by the 'next button') nor can I get the defensive stats of any player (accessed by clicking the button labeled "defensive stats"). When I look at the page source I see that regardless of the page I'm viewing, excel only pulls data from the original page.
How can I collect the data from these other pages?

Is there a way to extract project related communication to a individual project log adding the date from the daily report to the log. The goal is to generate for each project a log will have the daily (or any) communication for one project from the daily report. either adding a work sheet via project name or a separate file. Also is there is a new project a new project log should be created.

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that looks up values for a number of individuals and if they meet certain criteria they are collected in a box.
It is for a class of children's test results. I would like to be able to write the results each child got across the page (names at side, headings across top). If a child gets, say, level 2a in his test, his name appears in a cell elsewhere. I can do this with an 'IF' statement... Thing is I want to collect all the children who got that level in the other cell. The cell might end up with 10 or 12 names in it as a result of their scores being looked up. I would have cells for all of the levels, so the children can be automatically grouped together by attainment.

I have an excel file that contains around 8 sheets, each have a table that contains data. I want 2 master sheets that can automatically update itself if i enter data in any 1 of the 8 sheets.
master sheet 1 = summarized sheet that contains lesser columns with only major details.
master sheet 2 = contains all columns of all the 8 sheets.
the 8 sheets have unique names and i want those names to be in a drop down list in master sheet (summarized ) so i can select which ever sheet i want summary from.
Also i used tables for filtering data as i find it easier to track records from filter.

I am trying to collect data from a darts team and these values reflect
the number of points won in a team game (ranging from 0 - 3). This will
probably be simple for the experts here, so I'll let fly:
I have a table with six names across the top. In the rows below there
will always be two cells that have number values ranging from 0 - 3
while the rest will be blank. Those two numbers however, will always be
the same. I am trying to write a formula that will determine which
columns have values and return a single letter value (first initial)
for each name. Since all the names are different that is not an issue...

My company would receive RFQs from potential customers inquiring the availability of different products, and we are trying to summarise these requests to find a trend.
Each product has several attributes, such as descriptions, keywords, manufacturer's code, etc. The RFQs are all different, with each request providing some attributes while missing others. The only reliably uniform attribute is the product number.
I am trying to build a database with the maximum amount of details on each requested product, therefore consolidating the different requests. I already put the source data on the same sheet and sorted the product numbers. I also know how many instances there are for each product number. In other words, my data look like this:
Product number (sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
[Code] .........
Note:
1. The product numbers and repeat count are reliable
2. All the attributes are valid, i.e. as long as one can fill a blank I would take it
3. If none of the instances provide a certain attribute, it is acceptable for it to be left blank
And I am trying to turn it into this:
Product number
(sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
bbbb
123456
1
abcde
100x
3
123456
wxyz
I already spent a whole day trying to do it with MATCH, OFFSET, VLOOKUP etc to no avail. It seems I would need some kind of VBS with loop and array functionalities that are beyond me.

I'm working on a spreadhseet which has several macros that can take up to 5 minutes to run. When the macro(s) complete, I pop up a userform to provide instructions and collect some additional data from the user.
The "problem" is that when the user moves to another application to do other work, the user form remains hidden behind the active app. I've added some text to the status bar to let the users know the processing is done, but they would like something more obvious - so, is there any way I can force focus back to Excel?

This is a shared worksheet. When I look at it I can manipulate the calendar, but for others it is just a non-interactive image.
I'm sure this has something to do with them not having this control in their computer, but is there a work around?

So I have this code I'm working on for my deptarment that goes to a website inputs data , clicks run and downloads the csv file to the worksheet. It works just fine on my PC and on my profile on the computers the other department uses. We are both using same versions of windows, excel , and IE. When i have someone from the other department run the macro it opens the website but never enters the data into the fields despite the site being the exact same coding as when i'm logged in.
[Code].....
When this code is ran by a member of the other department it just opens the website inputs nothing and doesn't press the RUN button on the website.
What setting or anything. I verified that both PC's VBA references in are there and no "Locations are missing paths" .

I have a timesheet I created in Excel. I want to hit a button and have it save on the current computer. I also want it to copy the file to another computer on our network. I would like it to overwrite the exsisting file on this other computer automatically without a message saying "Do you want to overwrite exsisting file". The other computers dir is \OfficeTimesheet
What code can I write to make this happen?

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
****'** MsgBox Environ("ComputerName")
****If Environ("ComputerName") UCase("Authorized PC Name") Then
********MsgBox "Sorry No Go!" & vbCrLf & "Wrong computer!"
********End
****Else
********'** Do your thing here
********MsgBox "Proceed"
****End If
End Sub
Reading the thread in the link above, It seems as if one could limit access to a workbook. I tried this code on a dummy workbook, I have a few question...
1. Why am I getting "Sorry, No Go. Wrong Computer" when I just put the code in the dummy worksheet for the first time?
2. Can this code be modified to capture my clients computer information to restrict the workbook useage only on one computer and prevent unauthorized distribution to other computers?
3. Can this code run automatically everytime the workbook is open?

A userform is called up upon a calculation change in the spreadsheet on two computers and has for years. We just hired a new employee and the userform is not pulling up for her. Instead she gets an error: Runtime error 75...Could not find the specified object.

I've created a userform that will be used by multiple users. I'm not finished coding it yet but when I tried to work on it on my computer at home it did not look the same as it did at work. I tried it on several other computers and experienced the same problem.
It appears that the inserted company logo is zoomed in and the some of the label text has wrapped and is not visible.
I've attached a screen shot of the form on my work computer and the way it looks on other computers.

I have a workbook with sensitive company information. I need a way to validate the computer the workbook is being opened on and then close the workbook if it is not a confirmed workstation.
The file is already password protected on opening, each worksheet and the workbook is protected, and the VBA code is protected. We just need to take it one step further.
Is there a way to check a registry entry or the computers MAC address on workbook_open?
I have found code to close the workbook without saving which I would use after a message box stating "You do not have permission to access this file."
If someone has their macro security level set to high or very high, that prevents my code from running. How can I make this work on any computer no matter what their macro settings are?

I have a technician who sits a desk over, has the same brand of computer running the same Windows 7 and the same Excel 2010, but when he opens a particular file the page layout or print area seems to change so that the sheet is partially cut off. All his options appear the same. I can open this file on other computers and it seems to be fine...
I notice that the Margins under Custom Margins are different and this would explain the problem but not why it occurs. It's a file I created and saved and he opened. Why would the margins change? Is this one of the Microsoft cross platform / program deals where if he changes the print set-up or page layout in WORD for example, it changes them in EXCEL?
