Create A Shared Database That Tracks Training For About 100 People?
Dec 18, 2012
I am trying to create a shared database that tracks training for about 100 people. I've built a workable sheet, but the only way I have to share it over e-mail (there is no office NAS set up, and we're on a military base so we can't establish wifi).
Is there a way to set up a workbook that can be updated on one computer and instantly reflect that information in the cloud?
My goal is to have each team responsible for updating their own form and then have that information update my master tracker.
I am trying to do is create a document that will be available to sevaral people. The document will be edited by each person as needed. The completed document will then be used to order materials and supplies. What I want to hapen is each time the document is edited an alert is sent to the person responsible for the purchasing. I'm sure this is possible I just don't know how to do it.
Ive got a problem with a work book im working on at the moment, my company has various different documents created in excel, like a price list, cost price list & stock levels (all Independant) I have had the idea to join them all into a single shared workbook using an idea I found and modified over a year ago on this site, that had the promise of allowing multiple users to see the nessesary parts of the same document. the advantage of this being any new parts or prices or suppliers added would update all users at once. So ive got this workbook that when you open you get asked for a username & password this then hides/unhides, protects or unprotects to suit the users needs. This works great when unshared but when I share it the login box wont display
The Administrator username is jamie and the password is joshua
I am trying to create a 'Database' of Project Managers where by a skill can be entered into a cell and the VLookup will lookup the Project Manager that has this skill. There is the posibility that there will be more than one Project Manager with the same skill, formula so that the Lookup can return multiple values
I am seeking assistance in creating a 'database' type function within EXCEL workbook. I need to create a record of all job applications within our area and only a handful of staff have access let alone know how to use access. All are able to use spreadsheet/workbooks. Would like to be able to have entry page (i can do this fine) but I would like a search funtion that will allow staff to be able to track the progress of applications and add comments etc
I am trying to create a cross-reference database in excel. I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology, so here is what I need to do:
I have three columns that contain text cells, each with different numbers of rows. Now imagine that cell A1 is related to cell B3 and also to cell C5. There are numerous different combinations similar to this. Is there a way to show this relationship between cells in excel. If so, how?
1. I have one sheet with all the information about my customers, such as customer name, address, mobile number and email. I have also added customer reference no...... this could act like a primary key in databases...... This is SHEET 1.
2. my other sheet, lets call it SHEET 2.... is basically a template of my quotation where at the top I need to enter the customer details such as customer name, address, mobile number and email.. Sometimes I have returning customers and I need to enter their details again and again.... it is time consuming.
Initially I would like to enter all my customers detail into SHEET 1.
When I have to create a quotation in SHEET 2, I would like to enter a customer reference number and it should bring all the data from SHEET 1 about that customer and place it into SHEET 2 (quotation template)...
I am interested to get some opinions/input on where one might obtain Excel training/classes, etc. Our local college infrequently offers classes and when they do, the class is most always entry level which I have already taken. Online or correspondence would be acceptable.
I am working on a excel sheet that tracks thousands of records. Basically, have 400+ employee's who have scores that need to be tracked. The scores are % based... to start we have 15+ columns but all that matter for these calculations is probably 3. We have score 1 which their required to hit 90% score 2 which is 80%, they are seperate scores. Some people dont count so we disqualify the formula from counting a 0. My current forumla is...
COUNTIF(K418,"<90")+COUNTIF(N418,"<80")-COUNTIF(N418,"=0") where the rows change for each record. We are counting the # of times they don't hit their goal. They can only be held accountable for one score a month not for both scores so created a 2nd column which has =IF(O418>=1,1,0) so if it came back with 2 counts it changed it to 1. OK, so background explained
Now the tricky part... we have a running total per month of how many times they did not hit their goal. We have a column with the mm/yyyy. So we have a pivot table which breaks down the associates by name department etc... and once completely drilled down into it gives a breakdown of their score for every month and then if they did or did not hit their goal by referencing the previous field I discussed. Currently it has a running sum, but I am stuck on the twist I need to throw in... if they meet their goal for 3 months straight, 1... we will call it "occurence" drops off. So for example.... Jan 1 Occurence, Feb 0, Mar 0, Apr 0. So in this case, Jan, Feb, Mar need a running total of 1. Once april hits, the running total needs to go back to 0. So if they got an "occurence" in May, the running total would go back to 1 instead of the current 2 my sum shows.
I imagine there has to be some way I can do this, but I have been thinking about this and hit a brick wall. Any idea's at all? For reference column A is the mm/yyyy (which can be reformatted differently pretty easily). Column K is score 1, column N is score 2, those are the 3 fields I reference for my forumulas currently, the pivot table uses everything else.
Here is an example of one associate.... the top row is the average for the associate and the sum of "occurences"... I want to or plan to have a running total section added on the side however if possible. This associates running total should be 2 instead of 3 as there was a 3 month gap for Mar, Apr, May so it would have been -1 in May as explained above.
I have a spreadsheet that tracks Auditing Dates. Cell A1 has today's date =Today()
Column B2 has the first Audit Date (hard keyed), cell C2 has the second Audit Date (formula =+B2+182), cell D2 has the third Audit date (formula =+C2+182), etc. . . I would like the format of the Audit dates to flag the last audit date in the row red if it is prior to today's date (cell A1).
I already transfer my data from database (excel.xlsm) to an old worksheet (excel.xlsx) with a table by using VBA. Now I want to make this old worksheet become a new file with new file name like yyyy/mm/dd/where. Is that possible?
I've been looking around to find a solution for my problem and as a last resort I have decided to make a post, and I will get straight to the point. I have 3 xl Files of relevance:
1 - is my "database" which consists of multiple sheets with different information in each. Each sheet is correlated with each other by one common ID. 2 - is my "template" which is 2 sheets, which functions as a report. The template serves as the Report which will be printed. The data from each row from the database can fill the spaces in the template.
3 - "the tool" xl file is where i have my macros and the mapping for the which columns from the database belong to which cells in the template.
Basically what I'm trying to get to work is: User opens Tool clicks "create Reports" and the tool should then open the database, pick the range of rows from the database put the data into the relevant cell in the template save the "template" with the info on it, close it and do it again with each row of data from the database. So if I pick rows 4 to 34 in my tool, it should create 30 xls files from the template and fill in the data from each row into each newly generated "report".
My boss is making me teach an Intermediate Execl class that will last about 55 min to a wide skilled class. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to show the group. I was think of 4 topics but not sure.
I have a template for information that needs uploaded into a database via CSV. This database is then access via a HTML front end. As part of this there is a 'folder structure' with in the front end. This is displayed in a database table (See attached excel file for example data structure)
Currently I have this feeding into a drop down list which is somewhat cumbersome so want to make it more efficient and easier to use. I had toyed with the idea of adding more columns into the excel template and split the string up to populate however this isnt exactly professional looking.
My current thinking is, is there a way of putting this data into a listbox which is easy to navigate? Ideally in a folder tree navigation structure, I know this is possible for a windows folder structure
I am trying to create a database that contains data taken from several work books that i have saved in one folder on my hard drive. These workbooks contain quite a lot ** data, but i only want to extract the data i want to instead ** having to extract it all? these works books are used by several other people as well, so i want it to be able to update as data changes.
I was thinking about using data links, but that only seems to extract all the data instead ** just what i want?
Its really hard to explain. See the attached.. Basically I have kind of a database of Letters and each letter has several codes associated with it, although each letter is different (a few are the same but that's irrelevant), e.g. letter E means you need to use codes 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, and 3.10. That information is stored elsewhere. I simply want a user to be able to put that letter into this box and next to it these codes will populate.
I have an assignment for work where I am required to create a button within an excel sheet that will submit any text in a cell which in this case would be "A9" to a database to a certain field. I must create this using visual basic.
I am currently pulling information from a database into Excel. In column A is a list of dates that vary depending on how many days I decide to pull. On any given day there are options to which car will be driven and it is random and there are attributes associated with that drive such as below. If the car was not driven the data pull inputs "No Data" or a "0". On any given day up to three cars can be driven but it is still possible that only one will be driven. This is shown in the second table below. I'd like to be able to create an automated summary table such as the first table below. The summary table should be organized by date and show what cars were driven and their attributes. I know this seems simple but in reality I have six different cars and up to 10 attributes for each car and will be pulling months at a time. The only thought I have had is to do a for loop that checks every individual cell but I am not sure how to implement that.
I need to have a end user form that pulls information from a database and simplifies work for our substitue coordinator. Please be advised I have been working on this and can not get the desired results. I need a form that displays the current date and 5 columns of data the Data needs to be in seperate cells for example cell A1 titled TEACHERS and then the sub coordinator could start typing the name of the teacher in a2 and a predefined database of teachers name, class they teach, etc. MATH, ENGLISH and planning period would be pooled and automaticly fill the cell.
I also would need a second cell say cell B to be call Substitutes and b2- b100 to pull data from a database of substitute names and display their information.

What Im after is:- a matrix with unique Role list across the top Unique ID & Name down the side (I can do all the above using recorded macro's) but the clever bit I cant even start to work out is how do I get matrix populated from the list?
In column A of a database I've calculated workdays for all year (excluding weekends and public holidays).
Every day, I update the numerical data of the database, with the facts of previous day.
In another sheet I've made some monthly, quarterly etc., reports for that data.
What I want, is to have:
1) a report every day, with the sum of specific data (say that in column D), for a period starting the first workday of current month and ending the previous workday of today.
I manage a number if individuals in the Army and as such, track their annual training requirements. Some requirements are semi-annual, annual, quadrennial, etc...
I have a spreadsheet to track the dates that the requirement was last completed (attached). I would like to use conditional formatting to turn dates that are within 30 days of being due (or blank) RED and dates that are between 31 days and 60 days of being due YELLOW.
I want to accomplish something like this but slightly different:
[url]
I have the same issue but a bit more complex. In my case I have an additional amount of columns (let's say dimensions). So for the example given (sales per month) I would add two columns for 4 different regions and 5 machine types (just examples).
The output (that would serve as pivot tabel input) would then have to be a 4 x 5 x 12 x 4 = 960 row database table.
I have tried to accomplish it by customizing the given code but that provedto be beyond my powers ;o)
and some 3rd party software [url]and [url] but non of them is doing what I'm looking for.
The code I'm looking for ideally would count the number of columns and unique records per column and construct the database table from that. So I am looking for flexibility in the number of dimensions also...
=ROUND(SUMIF($C$26:$C$106,D126, $F$26:$F$106)/COUNTIF($C$26:$C$106, D126), 0). the formula is from a sheet which is used as like a questioning/ skills matrix.
The reference of d126 is a category eg: complaint handling and there might be 4 questions on complaint handling each of the answers being displayed as a number between the cells f26-106. If any of these individual cell results are equal to 0 or 1 then i want the overall answer for the formula to default to "training required" rather than the value it would give.
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.
