Tables :: DateTime - Running Pivot Queries To Excel To Do Analysis Of Data
Aug 27, 2013
I have a larget transaction data set in access with Datetime column/filed.
I have been running pivot queries to excel to do analysis of the data but the datetime field is returning too many unique values for the pivot table to run.
What is the best way to reduce the datatime field to date only and where should this be done?
i.e. should I have a calculated field that trims datetime or should I set someohting up in Powerpivot?
I work on a pre-created Access database, and the other day I was working on it, and was trying to export something to Excel to sort it and do some Pivot analysis.
Anyway, I must have pressed something, because now every time I open the database, rather than saying "record 1 of 20463" and showing the data from record 1, it shows "record 1 of 1" and all the data fields are blank. If I go to "Records" and "Show All Records" they'll all come up, but I don't want to have to do that every time, and as I import and export all the time, I'm worried that the next time I try it it'll mess up the years of data I have.
I have an Access database with millions of records.I am only interested in a subset of records (250,000+) that I would like to analyze in an Excel pivot-table. My issue is; how do I best export this information to Excel.I've tried filtering and exporting, but all records are exported. I've tried copy and paste but only 65K are allowed. Is there a better way to do this, perhaps linking the Access database?
I use the query below to pivot the data into the right format for export:
Code: TRANSFORM First(Amount) SELECT SrcUD2 FROM source WHERE LocName="myLoc" AND Entity="LE01" AND PeriodName="QA - 2014" AND ScenarioName="Actual" AND (Account="col1" Or Account="col2" Or Account="col3" Or Account="col4" Or Account="col5" Or Account="col6" Or Account="col7") AND (SrcUD2="row1" Or SrcUD2="row2" Or SrcUD2="row3" Or SrcUD2="row4" Or SrcUD2="row5" Or SrcUD2="row6" Or SrcUD2="row7" Or SrcUD2="row8" Or SrcUD2="row9") GROUP BY SrcUD2 PIVOT Account
which yields the following table as the query result:
which is great except that I want to transfer the results to Excel using the CopyFormRecordset method without the metadata of column 1 (row1, row2 etc.
I have a quality control database that has a QCEntry table that contains information about each sample the QC technician takes from production. This table has a one to many relationship with the TestResults table, where the tests performed on the sample and their results are stored.
QCEntry table is structured like
Code: EntryID Product Lot Number Day Time 1 AB-500 121323 12/23 5:00
My question is: Is there a way modify large amounts of data like this using a query or some other method to look like this? Kind of denormalizing the tables?
Code: Product Lot Number Day Time Carbonblack MFI AB-500 12323 12/23 5:00 50 10
tblSignUsedDetail is the line items, tblSignUsed is the orders. Therefore, the import function has to first take the first two columns to generate an order in tblSignUsed and then take the second two columns to generate order details associated with the order which was just created.
We currently manually run 5 different queries then copy and paste this data into 5 separate tabs on 1 workbook, I'm trying to automate some of this process if possible.
I am trying to use the 'transferspreadsheet' action within a macro to run a query and post it into a template excel file, using this code:
Trasfer Type Export Spreadsheet Type Excel 8-10 Table Name (query Name) FIle Name (FIle location) Has field names No Range Blank ---- This does seem to work and puts the data on a new tab on the specified workbook.
However I have a few questions:
1. Can you specify which query gets put onto which tab in excel? The tabs have different fixed names.
2. Can you specify which Cell the data gets pasted into to? As each tab has a set of headers and titles which need to remain.i.e would need to get query 1 to start in cell A4.
3. How would you expand the above out so that it runs all 5 queries, would you just add in multiple transfer spreadsheet actions in the same macro?
I have made a database where i plan the company's resources in form of hours. The idea is that every employee will put in their own data for the upcoming 4 weeks. I do this in a table where i store employeeID, weeknumber, year, PlanneHoursUsed, ActualHoursUsed.
This again i take into a pivot chart to see a forecast for the next month.
I have somehow achieved to get up a graph where i for every month can see the sum of all planned hours and all used hours (See attachment). BUT; my boss wants to see a running total instead of a "weekly image". On the graph attached one can see the numbers for every week. But i would want to see instead a running total.. For instance week1 then week2 would be the sum of 1 and 2, week 3 would be 1 ad 2 and 3 and so on. So the graph would be inclining throughout the year.
Is this possible with functions with my current data? Or do i need to have another field in my table where i store a running total? (This would be tricky when we get a lot of data and when somebody changes an old value...)
I work for a train maintenance company and to keep track of the defects we use access. Our data is stored in tables (eg unit1) and each defect is assigned a fault code (eg TRD.99). These codes are then used to report to our customer where errors our occuring on the trains.
There are 17 categories of code defined by the 3 letters at the start and the specific problem is stated by the digits. I need a method of tabulating the codes by unit number and a total given in another column. To do this I need a code to count the number of times each three letter code appears in the column of each units table and place the value in the corresponding column in the overview table. I then need a code to add up the total faults for each unit like the sum function in an excel spreadsheet. The final table should look something like this
Is there an Add in for Microsoft access that will using a gui based method, run queries, set up automated reporting (task Scheduler) in an easy to administer method. Quest Toad has a new add in Toad for Data Analysis. I am looking for something similar for access. Right now I am doing this manually via creating macros, etc. But there really should be an easier way. Thanks
I have a table [Control Table] with the fields [Date signed] and [outcome] date signed is formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and the outcome field is a drop down with the options granted, not granted ect
I am looking for a way to present the data using specific date ranges.
I have found 2 possible avenues;
Dcount in a select query:
w/c 01/04/2014 GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Granted'")
w/c 01/04/2014 Not GRANTED: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Outcome]='Not Granted' And [Reason not granted]='Assessed'")
w/c 01/04/2014 Discharged: DCount("[Date signed]","[control table]","[Date signed]>=#04/01/2014# And [Date signed] <=#04/06/2014# And [Reason not granted]='Discharged'") etc...
But I would need to create the multiple queries 52 times each for the different count value per week
My 2nd option
I have looked at crosstab query, but I cant find a way for it to list the specific dates I need it to query e.g from
I am pretty new to VBA coding and need running queries on specific tables. This is part of a multistep process, of importing data that needs to be transposed before appending to the "cleaned" database. First, users will save auto generated, Excel workbooks from a machine into a designated folder. I have code that will import these workbooks (an unknown number at a time) into Access in separate tables by workbook.
Each table will have a similar name, but different extension (ie Sheet101, Sheet102, etc.). This is where the issue arises. The files are in long form, not wide. I have a series of queries (unfortunately, they're not SQL queries, but I can convert them to be) that transform the data from long to wide. However, I do not know how to go about writing code that will run the queries ONLY on the imported tables (again an unknown number of tables with similar names), not the rest of the tables in my database. I'm guessing it involves a do loop, but I am not positive.
I have a field on a table that is a DateTime format and it needs to be that way. I am trying to query that table for all the dates to use in a combobox but I only wat the date not the time. The problem is when I format the field to just date I can't sort it anymore as a date and I can't group them. I still get multiple lines in my combobox because there multiple times for the same day. what is the proper way in a query to extract just the date from a field and still sort it as date ie 1/12/2015 is greater than 12/15/2014?
I would like to add fields from one table to another based on matching datetime codes.
Most data are in the table 'metadata' (information on sound recordings), and i want to add lat long fields from a large table of GPS points 'gpsData'. Each record in the metadata table has start and end datetime fields - i want to a add lat and long that matches the start time and a lat and long that matches the end time (so four fields to metadata).
My approach has been to try this with two separate select queries (i.e. one for adding the start locations and one for adding the end locations), with the intention of then combining these two outputs in a single table.
When i try a simple select query though I can see that:
a) there are no matching time codes for some records, because although the hh:mm:ss look the same there are differences in the lesser decimal places of the datetime serial numbers. I have tried using the round function on the datetime fields of both tables but this doesn't fix it (I don't understand why not).
b) there are some duplicates because there are sometimes more than one GPS point for each second, and the metadata times are given to second precision (so some metadata records get two entries in the query result).
How can I have the query select the gpsData record with the nearest datetime stamp to that in the metadata table's start time field? The respective field names are UTC and StartUTC. Can i do the same for the end times simultaneously or should i do this separately?
I have some queries that pull data from one table and other queries that pull data from two related tables. In both cases, how do I prevent the data from being changed after the queries results are displayed? I know I could make a form and lock each field so it couldn't be changed, but I was hoping to avoid having to do that.
Hi all, I'm using access 2002. 2002 has pivoting, but in order to use it you have to download an xp add on(at least I did). After I installed the libraries pivots worked for me- and I added all manner of niftyness-before I discovered that no one else in my department could use it without adding the same downloads. So I decided to go with exporting to excel. That opened up a whole new can of worms, but in the end I finally got it working. I just wanted to share what I found with everyone here-maybe the next person won't have to work so hard. This code works from a toolbar button. Of course if anyone has any suggestions, I'm interested.

Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
so I have this code for exporting all my other queries
Code: Private Sub Command4_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdTest_Click 'Must 1st set a Reference to the Microsoft Office XX.X Object Library Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog Dim strExportPath As String Const conOBJECT_TO_EXPORT As String = "qryGEM"

The codes work perfectly fine but it doesnt work well for pivot table view. What should I add to the add to make it work? I dont want pivot table in datasheet. I did try the codes posted by other people but it works well for if I have only ONE QUERY to export. As you can see, the above codes are for exporting more than one query.
I need to export a Pivot Table view to Excel. The issue is with Calculated Total columns which are not exported in excel. Do you know if there is any way I can export the Calculated columns in excel?
I've written this code in Access to create a pivot chart in Excel. All the code listed is good except for the last line. The last line creates another instance of Excel. I can't figure out what the correct syntax is.

Hi, I would like to rename my access file. My problem: I have many pivot in excel link to this database so if i rename it all the links will be down...How can i resolve this?:confused: (of course rebuild all pivots could be a solution but I have around 50 pivots behind my database) Thanks for your help!
I am trying to publish an Excel Pivot Chart, but keep getting Run Time Error 1004 - Application-defined or object-defined error...
I have tried the code 2 ways:

I am trying to export my Access pivot table to excel because every time I do, the values (which are text and numbers; i.e. some numbers and some <0.05 format) are changed into a sum, product..... I need to rearrange this data not calculate anything.
Is it possible to import data from Excel to Access?
I have a program which dumps 4 Excel files full of useful info which I need to analyse and report. Access would be an ideal tool to do this but the volume of info means it has to take the data rather than copying and pasting each section.
