View 9 RepliesI used to use Excel many many years ago for all my basic business databases and pivot table reports (so was at a basic competency level) and want to use it again but it has been quite a while and I can't remember how to do the following.....
I want to build a database of sales and purchase info in say 'sheet 1' - let's say 30 different headed columns and then many lines of different information under each column.
In 'sheet 2' I want to create an invoice template of my own design (I can do easily) for printing.
This template will need to extract say 10 bits of information from a particular row and then put them in a certain place on this sheet.
How can I type in one piece of information in a cell on sheet 2 (say the invoice or line number of the database) and that will then trigger all the other needed information from that particular line in sheet one onto this template?
I know it can be done but for life of me can not remember the formulas to use for these other cells in sheet 2 based on the info put in that one 'trigger' cell
I'm using Excel to connect to an Oracle database using an HTTP connection.
I'm new to VBA and was wondering if it is possible to use cookies to keep the above sessions active?
tools to extract store locator information from a company's website into excel?
For example: [url]
I am under an impression to loop the extracting process with all known US zipcodes and later remove duplicates. If looping is the way then how to pass on the zipcode to the store locator?
I just wanted to know if there was a way to add the information contained within an excel form into an access database using a macro? What I am looking to do is automatically have the data added when I press a button, or when I close a worksheet.

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 need building a formula to pull information from a database file. The purpose is to try to interpret the data so that I can analyze a time period along with it's content. I don't know how best to explain it. Basically I have a table and I want it to pull information based on 3 criteria: time, type, and total. I would like for the formula to identify a time frame, then identify a type, and then take the totals and add them together.
Time / Type / Total
11:31 /1 / 4
11:43 / 1 / 6
12:04 / 2 / 1
12:31 / 1 / 3
Time / Type / Total
11:30 - 12:00 / 1 / 10
12:00 - 12:30 / 1 / 3
The top is the database and the bottom is basically what I want to happen on the other table. Pretend the / and dividers for each column.
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 have a simple Excel file with some columns as you can see from here:

I have a simple formula (COUNTIFS) to count occurrence of certain condition that I specified. everything works fine here, but I also need to write current value of count cell at the end of each qualified row.
Data entry is random and I may work on row 1 and then row 25, so incremental row numbers that is shown by excel is not my answer. I need exact number of occurrence for each qualified row.

If I want to store bar codes in a range of cells in Excel, how do I format the cell so the barcode appears as scanned in.

I am doing it now but when we export it out or link it to an access table, it either does not appear or is truncated.
I would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.
The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.
the database file has the similar headings.
at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.
This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine

I have an Excel worksheet with one column being e-mail addresses. Other columns are Christian names, etc
Ideally can I create a full Mail merge with Outlook using whatever data I want. But probably just e-mail address and Christian name?
Otherwise be able to send one e-mail to all the e-mail addresses, without a major re-type.
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 have an access database that runs some excel subs. If the excel sub doesn't meet a certain criteria, I want to close the excel workbook and close the access database. Most google searches yield how to close excel from access but I need closing access from excel. I was thinking that if the "detonate" criteria was met, I could pass a variable over to access and terminate that way....
If x 5 then
thisworkbook.close
myaccess.accdb.close
end if
or
if x 5 then
appAccess.application.run "Self-Detonate"
thisworkbook.close
end if
My situation is as follows:
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)...
Some time ago, a friend of mine told me he didn't use any Pivot Tables at all, due to the imense space they require.

Do you know of any Internet site where I can start to learn something about this?
which databases people are using with importing excel data into a database.
I want to know people's experiences on different databases and suggestions on which database i can use maybe.
On this moment i do everything in excel, but excel is not longer working properly because of large files that need to be connected to 1 or more sheets.
This is the situation now:
VAX (Dos bases database) -> Comma seperated Files -> Importing in Excel -> Linking the data to sheets.
Now I want to have a database where i can do all normal operations to have a good look and the situation of stock status, ordered parts, sales etc. (inventory control)
Who has experiences with databases ? And what are you doing with that database?
I wantto prepare a database in excel. This is database of five different excel files.Consolidate them in one excel file under five sheets.
Thesefiles have name say A, B, C, D, E. Macro should ask user to browse these filesone by one and copy data in new excel under individual sheet. Finally databaseshould save as name X and should contain sheet 1 as A sheets 2 as B etc.
I have inherited a number of databases in work (running Office 2003). It has quickly become apparant that a vast amount of work is duplicated and so i am trying to cut down the data input and therefore the possible errors.......
I have narrowed most of the work down and now have a major worksheet (is that what you call a complete Excel file) named "master database" and several over minor files....
Currently what i am trying to do is to get one of the minor files to auto populate an area of the master database. I will try to explain it below...
1. Minor database has 2 columns with data i require to auto populate the master database. (1 column (B) is called 'off', the 2nd column (C) is called 'on').
2. A number will be inputed manually into either 'B' only or 'B and C' columns, depending on the criteria of the job..
3. The criteria of the job is dictated by column (Z) where the text 'A' or 'ATL' is inputed
4. The master database i would like to add up the numbers inputed as a total from columns 'off' and 'on' and place them into seperate columns 'E' and 'G' of the master database.
5. IF column (Z) shows 'A' then only column (B) 'off' is to be calculated and put into the master database at column (E)
6. IF column (Z) shows 'ATL' then BOTH columns (B and C) 'on' AND 'off' are to be added together and column (G) populated on the master database.....
To make mattters more complex. An expiry date is shown on the master database at columns (D) and (F).
IF column (E) does not exceed 12 by the expiry date, i would like the cell (D) to turn red
IF column (G) does not exceed 10 by the expiry date, I would like the cell (F) to turn red
create an excel spreadsheet, where i can enter all my products name, unit price etc. so when i am doing an invoice for the customer, if i just type the product name price will show up automatically.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need multiple users, each with their own Workbook to utilise data from a central database I made in Excel. I therefore need to put the central Excel database online and link to it. However, two issues so far:
1) I don't have an online domain or server to put it, nor the possibilities to get one quickly
2) Putting the central database into SkyDrive/OneDrive haven't been working so far, as the links are always local and not addressed on the OneDrive server domain.
Therefore my question:
Is there any way I can use the cloud power of OneDrive to host a (fairly simple) database without my computer being turned on and running the workbook?
