General :: How To Write A Macro To Display Only Grouped Items In Excel
Dec 11, 2013
I'd like to use a macro to display only those items which stay as a group in "Old Project Code" (black font) and filter out those which are singles in "Old Project Code" (red font) as shown below extracted out from a worksheet called "Project" in Excel.
1. The color wasn't there in original sheet. It is here only for demo purpose.
2. Data are changing dynamically, so need a macro in place to catch a snapshot at the time of macro is firing.
I have a table of items for our companies quotes. When we go to print out our quotes to send to the customers, the salespeople would like most of the items to be grouped under certain "headers" for the systems they are part of.
Ex:
Autopilot System Part #1 Qty 2 Part #2 Qty 1
PA/GA System Part #4 Qty 4 Part #5 Qty 1
My 'Items' table currently has these fields:
ID (PK) System_ID (FK for 'Systems' table) Part_No Qty
etc...
'Systems' table has these:
ID (PK) Sys_Description
I have a query using a RIGHT JOIN and a GROUP BY to tie everything together, I'm just not certain how to go about displaying the information the way I did above.
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000 B=3000 C=3000 D=3000 F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
I have some variables in Access that I would simply like to write to specific cells in an excel spreadsheet and save. I would like it to not prompt before it overwrites the previous file with the same name, and not open after it's saved. What code do I need to do this? Currently it saves out a new excel sheet, but it prompts before overwriting the one with the same name, and it opens the file after the save.Here is what I have now:
Code: Dim newExcelApp As excel.Application Dim newWbk As excel.Workbook Dim newWkSheet As excel.Worksheet
The VEH and POS are just going to be Labels in a form....no prob. Each Soldier's Squad and Team (for mounted Vehicle and Position) are stored in the Personnel Table. The below query is for vehicle A7 (ACTUAL would be the same as TC above). The query works. I just need to know how to get the result to display in a text box. What I'm planning on doing is creating text boxes for each posistion with these small select queries, so when I update the SQD and Team in the Personnel Table it updates on this form. Or is there an easier way to do this?
Dim strSQL as string strSQL="SELECT [tblPERSONNEL]![RANK] & " " & [tblPERSONNEL]![LAST_NAME] AS NAME FROM tblPERSONNEL WHERE (((tblPERSONNEL.SQD)="A7") AND ((tblPERSONNEL.TEAM)="ACTUAL"))"
I have a small stock control database built around a Northwind example. I am trying to build a query that displays items low on stock. On my products form I have: Min Order Level field (stored value) Units on Hand (calculated value from products subform (units received-units sold)).
Q1: Do I use a query to calculate/display this? Q2: How do I construct an expression to acheive this?
I am trying to create a new macro in my database. I selected the Openform action and tried to choose the name of the form but when I try and select the name of the form from the dropdown menu, I receive the following message: THE SEARCH KEY WAS NOT FOUND IN ANY RECORD.
I am not able to see any of my forms on this dropdown menu.
Can anyone please help. I am using Microsoft Access 2002.
man am i stuck.......here goes. i am using a mdb that i upload a weekly excel file to build my weekly report.
the weekly excel file is called Subledger Current.xls
before i upload the excel file i run a macro that is stored in an a different file called Converter.xls on my c drive (C:Converter.xls). the macro name is "Converter_Macro". also, the workbook is hidden, therefore, when i open this ms excel file i have to go to window and unhide to view the workbook. after that, i have verified that the macro is part of the list under Tool Macro Macros.
With that said, can anyone identify my error in my code why the macro is not running. that is, the code does not error out but the macro is not running.
thanks terry
Code:Private Sub cmdImport_Click()Dim appExcel As Excel.ApplicationSet appExcel = New Excel.ApplicationExcel.Application.Workbooks.Open "C:Subledger Current.xls"Excel.Application.Visible = False'this is where i call another sub to open the file containing the macro and attempt to run itCall Sub xlAddin()'i have addition code here to finish out the prodecure which is function properly when i step through manually.End SubSub xlAddin() Dim objExcel As Excel.Application Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") objExcel.Workbooks.Open "C:Converter.xls" ' Runs the macro objExcel.Workbooks("Converter.xls").RunAutoMacros (xlAutoOpen) objExcel.Application.Run (Converter_Macro) objExcel.Quit Set objExcel = NothingEnd Sub
I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate() Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));" End Sub
I was hoping that someone could tell me if it is possible to run an Excel macro from an Access database. I am importing 3 Excel worksheets into Access and this macro needs to be run on all 3 evertime that this file is imported by the user (twice a week). If this can be done could someone please tell me how ??
I've been opening comma delimited files in Access, used an Excel function to re-save those files in .xls which Access readily understands, then opening said files and running a query on them to organize them. Now the file needs to go to Excel where it is entered into a worksheet with a certain heading.
Problem is when opening the .xls converted file in Excel, no macros show up. If I open a blank worksheet in Excel my macro shows up. I lowered the security settings to the most basic level in Excel. How do I make the macro show up in the file opened in Excel through the Access VBA, so I can run it?
I have form "frmOrders" (Datasheet), columns: "id_order", "nameOfOrder", "worker", "term", "changes"I don't know it's possible or not.
e.g. I have in some record values like this Id_order - 2 NameOfOrder - folder Worker - John term (this field is empty)
some day I will change e.g. nameOfOrder from "folder" to "business card" and term from empty to 2013-07-13. So two records was changed. After changes, record "changes" should has value like this "folder; term" - because I changed these columns.
I have managed to build a macro that will run a query I have in Access but what I would like to do is be able to change some of the query criteria using the macro script or any other way possible.
I am trying to populate an Excel Shreadsheet (Template in Effect) with Data from Access. This is going ok no problem. Although I need to run an excel macro, which does some formatting to the WorkSheet after each entry in the Access Recordset. I've tried copying the VB over, but getting some errors, and frankly, I think it's easier if I just call the macro itself, rather than try to adapt it for the Access context. Though, I accept it would be a cleaner approach. Can I do this?
I have a problem with write conflict error. The database is functioning normally and without any problems but on particular computer. the systems are same (windows 7) with office 2010.I have a form with subform based on query. Changing the records in a subform is without any problems, but on one particular computar, I am allways receiving Write conflict error message. When I copy / paste the database from the wrong computer to another one, everything is OK. When I copy / paste it back to problematic computer, the problem is back also.It seems, that the problem is maybe somewhere in settings of this computer.
I am using Office 2007 and trying to export a table in Access to a Macro-Enabled workbook in Excel. Unfortunately, when I go to export the table, my file does not show when I browse for the file and .xlsm doesn't look like it's a supported file extension. I have looked around and noticed others have this problem as well. One solution was to use save the Excel file as a 97-2000 file since it doesn't change the file extension based on having macros. However, I can't do this because then I lose functionality with tables and other things on my spreadsheet. I need the data in Excel to be updated every month. Is there any way to do this in Access? I'm going to explore using sharepoint. My DB options are limited to Access and Sharepoint. I don't have access to Oracle or SQL Server or MySQL etc.
I am trying to extract some values from a PDF (attached) and write them to an Access database. I am unsure of the approach, especially extracting values from the file.
Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?
I have a database which I've creating but now want to make others available to update - in the past this has not gone well! The database uses data from two excel sheets and the problem has been people do not always check if these have been updated today before running and therefore the database gets loaded with old data.I have found code that will check and display a message showing datelastmodified for a file but what i'm trying to find is code which will check both files' datelast modified, if they are modified today then run the update macro, if one or both are not modified today, then to display a message saying that the excel is not updated.
How to write Sample Code to Retrieve the Current User Name?I have done for short name only and I need it full
Private Declare Function apiGetUserNameWindows Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _ "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long Function fOSUserName() As String Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long Dim strUserName As String
I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?
