i would like to create reports and queries in excel just like in access is this possible or do you import a layout,i have a sheet that has data on i would like to be able to pick just one row or mutiple rows and print them off could i save them to a menu to use over and over again,would i use a userform to search for these or can it be done otherways ,have seen pivot tables but seem bit complicated
View 2 RepliesI do testing of industrial equipment, collecting a lot of data along the way. Once I've calculated the performance metrics of existing systems, I do a cost analysis on proposed repairs or replacements.
I have a couple of goals in trying to streamline my spreadsheet process and make it more effective.
My worksheets usually end up with way more columns than I can view on the screen and that gets pretty cumbersome, so I want to develop input forms that will make data entry simpler. I've tried transposing the formats but they get even more difficult to handle that way. I just ran across the "Build a UserForm for Excel" pdf in this forum and I think that's going to help quite a bit.
Then for each of these types of projects I need to develop at least two report formats, one that will be comprehensive for each individual piece of equipment or subsystem that I'm analyzing, and another that's more of a summary of entire systems, such as a network of pumps all owned by the same customer. Ideally, this summary report would allow me to rank the subsystems by various criteria, such best ROI or most critical to operations. Format-wise what I'm looking for here is to strip away anything not relevant to decision makers, just reporting the important ID info and key results.
Finally, I'd like to be able to store all similar jobs in a single database so I can easily search through past results for comparative purposes when doing higher level analysis on new projects. I keep seeing the term "relational database" bandied about but don't really know if that's what I'm talking about or not.
I have the following spreadsheet Columns on master sorted by Column J:
A--------------E-------------J
SUPPLIER----CARRIER------LOC CODE
BELGIUM-----HAM-----------BP
HYDRO-------MSC-----------BP
DAINIPPON---NNR-----------BP
BELGIUM------YM-----------BR
BELGIUM------YM-----------BR
HYDRO-------MSC----------CA
BELGIUM-----HAM-----------CA
HYDRO-------MSC-----------CA
HYDRO-------MSC-----------DE
DAINIPPON---NNR-----------DE
BELGIUM------YM-----------DE
BELGIUM------YM-----------DE
What I need too do based on the Codes in Column J is create a separate workbook for each different code.
I need to create 3 or 4 detailed reports from an excel 2010 worksheet.
My worksheet contains data including date, invoice number, company , consultant, days, dollars. There are approximately 100 records in the worksheet.
Requirement 1 :I want to use excel 2010 to automatically generate a series of reports broken down by consultant showing date, invoice number, company, and consultant with totals for days and dollars, when all the records for consultant 1 are listed, then I want to show consultant 2.
Same for any other consultants with a grand total at the end.
My understanding is that excel 2010 makes this process very simple .
See attached file - I would like to use the "Create Parts issue Report" Button to create worksheet titled "Parts Issue Report" based on the pulldown menu in cell B1 tab "Vehicle data" so each pulll down will generate a different "Parts Issue Report" when clicking the "Create Parts Issue Report" button. I think it needs to be a looping VBA to go thru the "Vehicle Data" rows and columns looking for the keywords "late" or past" as I only want a report created on that criteria. The output criteria I have label in the tab "Parts Issue Report" I can explain further if needed.

I have an expense workbook (Data) with 4 columns (ID, Item, Cost, Date). I would like to create macros that will generate 3 different reports and write to 3 different worksheets.
The first report is sorted and sum up the cost for each item. Please see the worksheet "Item".
The second report is sorted and sum up the cost for each part ID. Please see the worksheet "ID".
The third report is the cost for each month and Year-to-Date cost right next to it. Please see worksheet "Summary".
write the macros for each of these reports assuming that we don't know the number of rows in the "Data" worksheet.
Trying to write an IF query looking for multiple returns that would equal the same result.

I'm currently working on a side project for work that I believe will save many man hours as at the moment we're using paper and calculators!!! I'm scheduling buys. I've worked out formulas and formats to show how much we should buy and how they should be split (for example for UK purchases we buy x amount and split it 10% 90%). However, the dates of delivery are different. See below:
PORT L'poolPORT HKPORT Portsmouth
1.113-Aug-1206-Aug-1230-Jul-12
1.210-Sep-1203-Sep-1227-Aug-12
2.103-Sep-1227-Aug-1220-Aug-12
2.201-Oct-1224-Sep-1217-Sep-12
3.124-Sep-1217-Sep-1210-Sep-12
3.222-Oct-1215-Oct-1208-Oct-12
Campaign 1 first buy (1.1) I know that my product is sailing from port HK. Therefore I want it that in the 'delivery date' cell, it returns 6/aug/12 (that's the first lot of 10%, and underneath it returns 3/sep/12) which the remaining 90%...2.2).
However, both the campaign number AND port options are variable (using a data validation drop down list). In effect meaning if I choose campaign 2 instead of campaign one, it'll return the dates 27/aug and 24 sep....if I then change the port to Portsmouth, the dates will be 20 aug and 17 sep.
I've attached a quick view of the schedule I've created. The yellow cells are where I want the dates to be returned.

I have a program that uses a query to grab data from overseas. I have an issue where some precision is apparently lost and I was curious if there was a way around this.
As an example of what is going on I have a specific piece of data I am tracking. The value is 14.9 in the SQL database and it's datatype there is a real of length 4. After grabbing this item from the query I checked the record set and the value is still 14.9. After it reaches the worksheet though it is displayed as 14.89999962. The destination cell is currently formatted as General but I have tried Text as well. Both produce the same results. As this tool is very general I would not have it formatted as a number as I don't know what I am getting back exactly.
I know computers store real/single values inprecisely but I see it everywhere else as 14.9. I would think Excel would display what I am seeing. Is there anyway around this short of formatting the cell as number with 1 decimal place?
The report is a "template" that will be ran once a month every month and will look back at the previous month's data. What i've invisioned is writing a vb script to load on workbook open asking various questions via "inputbox()" method.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @StartDate DateTime
DECLARE @EndDate DateTime
SET @StartDate = '20070731 10:10:51.450'

I'm trying to produce a spreadsheet that pulls infomation from different web pages throughout the day. It needs to pull quite a large amount of information from different web pages hence I wanted to produce a subroutine which could be called with different variables for each web page, i.e. url, field, destination, etc.
To actually produce the query I recorded a macro and then used the code it produced. I then changed the URL to url, a string variable which holds the urls of the pages. The destion address was changed to destination, a range variable to store the destionation location, and the webTable was changed to table also a string variable to store the table number. This is shown below.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
url, Destination:= destination)
.Name = "q?s=%5EFTSE&m=L_137"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True.............................
I want know how to pass a parameter through a cell for date in the following url
http://fc-web-phl1-101.phl1:8090/gp/...runReport.y=10
My question is about webqueries... specifically how to set up a query that will automatically fetch data on different pages (same data, but includes page 2, page 3, page 4, etc )
I've just figured out how to import a "new web query," but it seems like I won't be able to import 63 pages of it unless I do all of them by hand.
I'm new to macro and have tried copy from others who have posted before but it don't seem to lead to anywhere.
I'm trying to automated a column of web query (sheet1,column A), a batch of listing site with no tables. with the results in sheet2.
Looping part as well. Also, is it possible to just extract <title> from the page source.
Here's what I have so far.
PHP Code:Â
Sub Macro1()
'
'Â Macro1Â Macro
'
'
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "URL;" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2") _
        , Destination:=Range("B2"))
Â
[Code] ........
Tried changing the destination from
Destination:=Range("B2")) to Destination:=Range("Sheet2!$A$2"))
But keep getting error to change destination.
I use external data queries in excel. That's how I look up data in my access databases because I have so many access and SQL databases it's just eiser to be able to do quick queries on multiple databases at the same time in one spreadsheet. And, I can save the external data query as a tool to use in future queries. I have tons of tools and external data query is the foundation of most of them.
What bugs me is EDITING data.
If I want to do some light simple editing in an SQL database I am required to use a linked table in Access or SQL Studio Express Manager. Great programs, but I want to integrate!
Is there no way to make excel a database editor? I can retrieve data from any database or program with excel just fine, but is there a way to use excel to DIRECTLY EDIT the data in an external database with EXCEL like I can in access linked tables?
i have 306 web pages listed in sheet 1, A1:A306
how can i get a macro to open each and scrape a piece of info from each, and then store in a row in sheet 2?
I want data to columns A, C and E, while I have important data in columns B and D. Should I make three queries? Should I make query and save the results to temporary place and then move all the results to those columns A, C and E?
Right now the copying happens like this:
If Not rsData.EOF Then
rngTarget.CopyFromRecordset rsData
Else
MsgBox "No records returned.", vbCritical
End If
So should I do
1) One query and move everything in the right places
2) Multiple queries
3) Something else
Does this depend a lot about how many results I expect? I'd say likely about 100, maybe less than 1500, never more than 10000
how would you compile a web page to which there are many many querys?
i.e a website that has links to results
Hello folks! Here's to hoping I can eventually be a source of information rather than questions. But enough about me - on to the topic at hand.
I have a single-source web query that I'd like to expand.
Here's what I have in the IQY file:
VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes" ...
In short I have a yahoo query that loop through about fifty or so stock symbols. The query data is in column A to G starting with: Date, open,high,low ,close Adj. Now I have my Destination set up like so “Destination:= Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(3))” for 3 row space between is retrieval
The problem is my: xlAscending
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A65536"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Ascending only convert the first query to Ascending the rest of the data remains Descending, how do I get all my query data to convert to Ascending using Date.
I have sql queries in spreadsheet column and which needs to run against Db2 database daily and then update the result back to spreadsheet. This is tedious process and could there be a way to create a a macro using VB which performs the following?
1. connect to db2 database
2. take the sql query one at a time from every row and then run against database
3. Obtain the result and then update it back to last column of the spreadsheet.
I can set up one query to take the parameters from say cell E1 and F1 and post the results of the query in cell A1.
The next query I want to take parameters from say cell E20 and F20 and post results in cell A20.
I need to run this several hundred times and am limited by the webite URL to 2 parameters.
I can't work out how to automaticaly change the URL via a macro so it adapts it with the changing parameters in my worksheet.
Below is an example of how I prefer to work with a database. Results are fast; even across the network and I understand the syntax perfectly.
Code:
Sub DBPreferredWay()
folder = ThisWorkbook.Path & "mydatabase.mdb"
Set db = OpenDatabase(folder)
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE [SimilarItems] = " & myFocus
Set tR = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
[Code] ........
I'm trying to access a different database; a database being hosted on my SQL server. Because of security and what not; it looks like I'm needing to use adodb but I can't stand it and the slowness (minutes to receive queries. IS there a way for me to access my sql server database similarly to how I'm accessing MDB tables across the network? Below is what I've been trying with the adodb
Code:
Sub SqltoACCPAC()
Set conn = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
phrase1 = "DRIVER=SQL Server;DATABASE=" & "VNODAT;SERVER=192.168.0.91,1433": conn.Open phrase1, "SA", "password"
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ICITEM WHERE [SEGMENT1] >= 101 AND [SEGMENT1]
OPTION BUTTON
Using the Forms toolbar control, NOT ActiveX, in Excel 2002 (XP Home) to make on option button, how do I obtain more than just one option? I can draw the outline of the button and I can rename the option but I don't know how to get more than one. I'm totally green to VBA/macros/code/etc. so please keep it SUPER SIMPLE.
I'm hoping that by selecting one of 4 options, IF formulas elsewhere in my workbook (spread over multiple sheets) can be fine tuned.
For Instance: if option 1 is chosen (on sheet 1), =sheet2!(randbetween(3,24)). if option 2 is chosen, =sheet2!(randbetween(3,30)), etc.
I'll then record a macro that will take it to a Value using CopyPaste Special. Unless there is slick way of stopping the cells from rerandomizing when the sheet is recalculated.
CHECK BOX
I hope to use check boxes, to help me CONCATENATE stuff elsewhere in my spreadsheet.
For Instance: if checkbox 1 is checked (on sheet 1), =sheet2!(conc($D$11&"
whatever is associated with the check box). if check box 2 is checked, =sheet2!(conc($D$11&" whatever is associated with the check box), etc.
I have a general question about the best way to perform multiple operations from excel and finally bring it together in one worksheet. I have currently a big worksheet (own application) which queries data from the database and then performs some calculations etc. The download takes some time and cannot be changed. Ideally I would like to separate the data download from the application and have two worksheets running at the same time. Worksheet Databaseinteraction.xls would do the queries (for example every 10 minutes), worksheet calculations.xls would do the rest.
When I start both sheets they should check that the other one is open (active). The user will interact only with the sheet calculations and do some things with it. To get the data into calculations.xls I would use an ADO call (this I have done multiple times). Databaseinteraction.xls would have to know when to start getting data from the database (for example using an ini file) and continuously query the database every 5 / 10 minutes (ontime). Calculations.xls would query the Databaseinteraction.xls also every 5 / 10 minutes. Both sheets should not freeze each other. If calculations.xls queries Databaseinteraction.xls no download from the database should be started until the first query has finished.
I was wondering if there was a way to Refresh Queries on a sheet by sheet basis. I have several sheets of queries, and I would like to refresh all of them except one or two.
The only way I know how to do this is to stick a line of code for each query into the script while leaving out the queries I don't want. I was hoping there was a more elegant way to do it. If not, no big deal. I'll just do it the old fashioned way.
I am writing a routine to retrieve multiple stock quotes by looping through a bunch of sheets and refreshing a bunch of querytables that access the web. My data source (Livecharts) is often clogged up and queries will fail or get lost in space so after initiating the queries I wait for a while using a waitable and then check to see if each query has completed or is still refreshing. If they are still refreshing I cancel them and refresh again. Or at least that was the plan. What I have discovered is that as long as the vba code is running the results from the queries do not come back into excel. As soon as the code is exited or I go into break mode in the debugger the queries complete.
Is there some way to get the queries to refresh during code execution? Here is a code snippet that shows what I am trying. I have defined a Class Module defining an "EventfulQTable" and it's associated methods and properties so I can have a QueryTable with events. The sub Wait uses the windows API SetWaiTable command to pause for a specified period of time. It includes a DoEvents command which I thought would allow the returning queries back into Excel but no such luck.
Sub Refresh_Queries()
Dim SheetNum As Integer, ListSheet As Integer
Dim eqtQT As New EventfulQTable
Dim QueriesDone As Boolean
SheetNum = 1
ListSheet = 12
QueriesDone = False
On Error Goto QueryError
Can anyone explain how to name a chart? I've been accessing charts in my VBA scripts using chart names, e.g. "Chart 4". I've been determining the chart name by recording a macro and selecting the charts. But, is there a way to either:
1- change the name of a chart (as you would name a pivot table)
2- determine the name without having to select the chart in a recorded macro
3- reference multiple charts from the same worksheet without using their names
I am running 1,200 queries in succession in excel through a loop (visual basic). The problem is that, somewhere around loop 60, my computer grinds to a halt. I tried putting in a pause function and throwing in an autosave, to no avail. I think it has something to do with the memory, and somehow clearing it. Excel must be holding onto results from prior queries, and just runs out of memory after 60 or so.
