i currently have a spreadsheet with 6 columns and about 80,000 rows in excel.
I have been told to move it to access to make it faster. but am having problems.
each column has a number in it eg: 1, 5, 23, 45, 56, 43
say i need to find any rows containing eg: 5, 1, 56
currently (in excel) i use an extra column with this formula
and it tells me which row has the numbers in it with either true or false, and then i filter the trues to get all the rows that have the numbers i need
and the numbers i want to find will change all the time
i have tried to copy the whole spreadsheet to access and it comes across, but my formula doesnt work
Is there any way around this, should i be doing something else?
I have a query that includes several columns, one of those columns shows returns on investment as a percentage. I need to figure out the annualised returns on investment using the following excel formula
{=PRODUCT(1+B1:B24)-1^(12/24)-1}
This formula gathers the percentages for the last two years then provides an annualized amount.
I'm just wondering whether this is possible to apply to the query so that when I open the query it can provide me with the 2 year annualized statistics.
Desperate help required - I am about to throw my laptop out the window, closely followed by myself!!!
I am self taught and rely on books or perseverence normally so apologies for lack of technical terminology. I have spent days on this to no avail- I believe this needs to be some sort of array formula but am open to any suggestions and advice!
Problem; I have two workbooks, I need the result of the scary formula to be shown on the summary sheet in one field.
I need the formula to look at the other sheet and recognise (for each of the 100 or so rows) if the entry in column G is "F" or if it is "W" to recognise the number in column N and add it to all the other ones that also fit this spec.
Basically, the summary figure is the sum total of all the numbers in column N that have F or W in their associated column G.
A thousand thank yous to anyone who has the time to help!!! Laura :confused:
Ok I have Access 2000 and I am a little rusty. I have a table created that stores all of our relevant production information. What I want to do is print out a report that shows the daily sales, as well as create totals (forumulas. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get Access to calculate '# of Units x price per unit= total.' and put that in a report.
I understand I can use the form to enter data into the DB. Will a report do the calculations that I want? Or a query?
I am kinda at a loss and I need to figure this out.
Hello, I didn’t know how to explain this or where to post this but here we go! I have two databases and one of the PC's here at work can’t use some of the items in the database like on one of the databases there is some formulas in text boxes and that PC won’t calculate what’s needed in them and every PC in the plant will except for this one PC. Also the one PC won’t bring up the Allen Browne's Calendar. When you press the start or end button to bring up the calendar it never pops up but if I enter the start date and end dates and use it that way ect then it works. I have no clue why this is just happening to this one PC. Any ideas?
I am in process of creating a new tracking report. I have to do a scoring system where the number of contacts you get a day equals a daily score. The problem I am having is getting this score to work with entries that are equations. One that I am working on is calls per hr/per day. I have inbound and outbound calls that have to be added-that part works. I then need to divide that number by the time worked for the day- that works. I now need to get that end result to match a score or ranking number. An example would be if a person takes 30 inbound calls and makes 125 out bound calls and works 7.5 hours. My calculation is (30+125)/7.5=20.6. My totals are now expressions because they read: Expr3: (([Extnout]+[ACDCalls])/Expr1). By the scoring set up, 20.6 needs to equal 4. How do I get the expression to read a score and make it equal.
If i was to use a forumla in excel to add a number of cells together i would use this forumla =sum(c1:c4) rather than having to use =sum(c1+c2+c3+c4) In access i want to add a number of fields together so that i can caluclate the number of days we have had pallets in our warehouse. I have tried entering the formula =[days stored 1]:[days stored 4] ( i have also tried enter "=sum infront aswell")but it comes back with an error message. but when i enter =[days stored 1]+[days stored 2]+[days stored 3] and this gives me the correct sum. is there any way i can use ":" in the formula since i have a 100 fields called days stored(number) and i will be very painful having to type the formula in the long way.
How do I enter a formula/calculation in a table for follow up dates. I have a basic start date. In my form/table, I want the program to insert the following follow up dates automatically: one month, 3 month and 6 month.
I need to replace certain values by an abreviation. Is it possible to use a function similar to the following (Excell) formula in a field in an Access Report?
Code:=IF(A1="XXX";"AAA";IF(A2="YYY";"BBB";IF(A3="ZZZ";"CCC";" "))) If so, what syntax should I use, because this doesn't work in Access.
I have this database, and one field is a start date, and another field is a date to mail out a thank you letter. I want this field to automatically display a date 5 days ahead of what the start date field's date is. I've seen how to do this in a form, but I need to do this from a table, and since I'm relatively new to access, I don't know where to put the formula, I can't figure it out, and I can't find anything pertinent in MS's help...
I have a query that groups data and produces two totals for each group. A second query takes this first query as its input and divides one total by the other for each group. Is it possible to do this in one step?
I have a field that has a formula that calculates the age and I want to make a query that shows me all the people, for example, with 20 years. I tried to do that but there's no result. I think it is because I have a formula there.
I am exporting data from Access to excel, once all the data is exported into multiple sheets. I have one Master Sheet which has formula / reference to other sheets. I want to hide those rows which do not have data but contain formulaes referencing back to another sheet.
How to hide those records has formula but do not have data.
After conditional formatting with every new entry in Datasheet Item Code or Item Description then after row Disc % and Amount default values is shown as #Type! And datasheet is very slow with flickering. If it conditional formatting is remove then working as well. I have attached the Screenshots and dB file ...
My first question is how do I append 00001 so I can have a value for the false side of 9123400001 instead of 912341...My second question is why does it prompt me to enter parameters? It also produces all false values from the if statement...What I am trying to do is use a column that has either a Y or a N and using the if statement to correspond with different formulas depending on the Y or N.This what I have so far.
Company Product Sales 1 A 5 1 B 2 1 C 7 2 A 8 2 B 1 2 C 2
I want a query to produce a table showing Products A though D which is the sum of Products A and B. Result:
Company Product Sales 1 A 5 1 B 2 1 C 7 1 D 7 2 A 8 2 B 1 2 C 2 2 D 9
I have many rows and many summations and the current union query and supporting queries are pretty messy and not easily changeable. What I'd like to do is have a third table which would hold the summed product names and the formula used to get to it (Product D, A + B) and have a query that can be dynamically based off of that table. Do I need to use VBA? Does anyone have a better idea? Any help or even a good search term would be appreciated!
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
I searched the archive and didn't find quite what I was looking for, so..
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet work-in-progress being used as a template (developed by others) to prepare project cost estimates in a complex regulatory environment. We are 'modelling on the fly' for a number of projects until we are comfortable with the estimate model, after which time I intend to incorporate our 'stable' estimate methodology into Access. Meanwhile, I am 'stuck' with the Excel spreadsheet.
I have a project tracking database (Access 2003), and I want to be able to track my estimates. I do NOT want to embed my spreadsheets into the db, just a filelink. There can be more than 1 estimate per project.
Ideally, the user should be able to define a project in the Access db (or select one already defined) and click a 'make estimate' button, which would generate a new Excel file in a predefined directory (based on the present version of the .xlt file), give it an appropriate filename (based on the Access ProjectID and estimate sequence number for that project if there were others already), open up that workbook in Excel, and then autopopulate some cells based on information showing on the original form in Access!
A separate button for 'Open existing estimate' will eventually be required, but I think I could do that if I can get someone to walk me through the steps required above.
I am somewhat familiar with vba in Access, but am an absolute rookie when it comes to excel.
Edit: I left out that I would also add an appropriate record to a table like tblEstimate which would contain the link(s) to the estimate(s). This table will obviously contain a FK to tblProject
I have an excel file linked to a table in Access. Several fields are date data types in excel but are showing up as text fields in Access.
My real goal is to do a comparison between two tables, but only if the date of the one piece of data is newer than the other. I had planned on comparing the two date fields but even though I have formatted the date fields in my excel file to be "Date", when I look at the design view of my table it is showing up as "Text" and therefore I am unable to do this comparison.
I'm not sure if it's just something that I'm missing but maybe someone else knows an easy fix to this. I know this is probably a simple question, but I did search the forum and didn't find a thread that specifically dealt with this issue.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
Hello, sorry to post again my question but just cannot find a solution. I have a table and would like to copy data into a template in excel. I know that the code will have to make a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new workbook into sheet1.
My table (table1) has 3 fields: SSN, FNAME and LNAME. I want to copy these fields into cells B1 (for SSN), B2 (for FNAME) and B3 (for LNAME). I will use a combo to select the recorset to copy.
My problem is how to copy data into the template. I understand that it is necessary to run a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new xls file.
Is there a way I can do this via code? Code help is appreciated. Thank you.
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
