how can I format output data to a file
How can I format data for output to a file in a particular format ie. 6 chars 25 chars 49 chars from 3 work sheet columns which a not 2,25 and 49 long. This is so that the data can be read by another program. If the first cell only has a "1" in it how do I get excel to output blanks to fill the space to 6 char for the first output? Set your column widths to the field widths you want (6, 25, 49). Set the text alignment for each column to what you want if the default (left for text and right for numbers) is not correct. Then do a File, Save As and pick Formatted Text as the f...

Deleting data entries but not formats
Hi newsgroup, I have some trouble with excel... and with a document which I use for serial mails via Mail Merge. Now I need to clean all old data entries and prepare it for the next use. But if I simply delete the entries or do it via Clear-Entries then I have problems because conditional formatting will also be deleted and furthermore the mail merge cant work anymore because some fields are not found anymore. Does someone know how I can only delete the data entries, nothing else? The Mail merge runs via SQL and I'm not quite good in it... Thanks a lot in advance and a nice weeken...

How do I fit a graph to data?
I work at a non-profit agency. We receive funds on an annual basis for our work, which we distribute under contract to other agencies. The full details aren't important, the main point is the rate of "burn" through the money. We use different mechanisms to ensure that it lasts throughout the fiscal year, such as breaking it up into smaller chucks, etc. I watch the burn rate to see how it is going. I record this on a daily basis in an Excel spreadsheet. Due to business practices with the other agencies, the burn rate isn't a simple linear graph with a negative slo...

Requery / Refresh calculated texbox
Dear friends, On a form I have two textboxes (cbo1 and cbo2). I need to have a formula in cbo2 (eg [cbo1]*10, that will use what I type in cbo1. The problem is that I need by changing the value in cbo1, immediately to have the result in cbo2. e.g. I type 1 in cob1 = 10 will be shown in cbo2, by typing more in cob1, e.g. 11, in cbo2 will be shown 110. This should be done before update? Where shall I use the requery method? Thanking you in advance, GeorgeC You can do this one of two ways: Either Private Sub cbo1_AfterUpdate() Me.cbo2 = Me.cbo1 * 10 End Sub or set the Control Sou...

Pivot Chart Refresh cancels all chart formatting
Hello folks, I am using pivot chart with calculated fields, on which I did some quite sophisticated formatting (combination chart stacked bar / dot plot with secondary axis ; bar & plot area & grid colors ; labels ; axis & chart titles). When I click the "refresh" (!) button to update the data, the chart formatting is lost and the chart reverts to the default formatting (stacked bar chart with all series) Is there any way to "memorize" the chart formatting on a pivot chart ? TIA -- NZ Loss of formatting is a known problem with pivot charts. There's inf...

Help with a formula to determine data presence in other worksheets in the same workbook
I have a workbook with 20+ worksheets in it. Each worksheet contains a series of columns where generally the 'key' (not a real key but the term will suffice for this example) is in the first column and various attributes of that key exist in subsequent columns. I have a summary sheet as the first one and what I want is a base formula that will tell me if the value I'm looking for exists in a target worksheet (the 'key' column) and if it does, does the value in one of the subsequent 'value' columns match some pattern. I have searched around but I don't really ...

Populating XML data
Hi Guys, I'm fairly new to Powershell (and XML) and have come across a stumbling block that I can't resolve.

Import data from the web
I am trying to import large amounts of data from the web onto a spreadsheet.

I assume this is because I am hitting the site too many times in a few minutes. IS there any way to fix this? Can I put some sort of spacing line into the spreadsheet so that it gives the site a break?

Not all students will come every time and there are new ones for each session. To update on master list, I will sort each sheet by surname, print it out and type in separate column (date) for each session and typed "P" for present and &quo...

Dynamic range (column); include only rows before blank row above more data
Hello: One worksheet will contain more than one table holding lookup values (prices, CPU speed, etc.). They will be located one on top of another, with possibly some other data between tables, separated by at least one blank row. They will be expandable by row, as new prices, CPUs, etc. are added.

Export Data from MS-CRM
Is there a way to export all of the data from MS-CRM? Thats a rather general question,......you mean export to another CRM system or just export into another medium? For the most part, most areas have that little excel icon so that you can export into excel...... or you can go into the SQL server and use the export wizard, although I don't think its going to be what you want,....for the most part it will be raw data and you'll have to recreate the relationships and primary fields to see how the objects relate.......... -Gary "John O'Keefe" <jokeefe@finepoint.com...
