Splitting cells into multiple records
Hello,
Here is what I am trying to do. I have an access DB that Excels pulls info
out of and puts in a nice little format. My issue is that some of the fields
have multiple records in it. Here is an example of the DB:
First Name | Last Name | Issue | Remediation
You would only have one first and last name, but there might be multiple
instances in the issue and remediation cells.
First Name | Last Name | Issue
| Remediation
John |Smith | Issue Number 1
| Remediation Number 1
| Issue Number 2
| Remediation Number 2
| Issue Number 3
| Remediation Number 3
| Issue Number 4
| Remediation Number 4
The 4 issues would be in 1 cell and the 4 remediation's would be in 1 cell.
I want to set up some sort of rule or Micro to split up the Issue and
Remediation cell into multiple cells, but repeat the first and last name.
First Name | Last Name | Issue
| Remediation
John | Smith | Issue Number 1
| Remediation Number 1
John | Smith | Issue Number 2
| Remediation Number 2
John | Smith | Issue Number 3
| Remediation Number 3
John | Smith | Issue Number 4
| Remediation Number 4
The information is pulling from a SharePoint list, so it would have to be
something that would automatically when the spreadsheet is opened.

creating forms with multiple tables
I have Access 2002, I created two tables, one that has all our customer information and the other will put in information pertaining to services rendered on a customers' pc. My question is, I created a form combining these two tables. I did it all as one form instead of using a sub form. When I go to the form to start entering information it will allow me to add the information for the customer but not the information for the computer. The table with the customer information has all the information in it, the table that will have the computer information gets added as the forms ...
Excel 2007: Sort by Cell Color
Hi, I have Excel 2007 with a fairly new computer and 2gb of RAM. When I try to sort a spreadsheet by cell color, the program locks up and I have to quit. There are 46000 records in the sheet - I understand this is a big ask for the computer but with 2gb of RAM it should be able to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make this work better? Thanks. I hadn't tried sorting by color (cell fill color) before (new XL2007 feature) so I created a 46000 row by 3 column 'database' with two fill colors in the first column. It sorted in less than 5 seconds on a les...

Conditional Formatting --- copying to multiple rows
I have a small worksheet, columns A-F are information about an item. Column G will have a value of "Yes" or "No" (or "TRUE" or "FALSE"). If Column G, row 2 is "TRUE" then the format of the font in that cell should be a Bold Red, and the font in the cells A2-F2 should also turn red. If "FALSE" then the text remains black. I can Copy and Paste Special the Format, but then rows 3-2500 are still tied to G2. I can't seem to get the conditional formatting to automatically change the the correspond row/column G.

Safe way to check what is in a cell
Hello, I am writing an application that is supposed to parse a spreadsheet file into individual files dependent on what is in the first column.

For this reason, I need to check the first column for one of the following: 1. A string of numerals, f.ex. "014" 2. A number, f.ex. 610 3. #N/A 4. Blank 5.

I preparing about 3000 tickets for an Italian tombola. A row of 15 randomly chosen different numbers from 1 to 90 (e.g. 8, 20, 22, 34, 40, 43, 51, 55, 62, 72, 74, 84, 85, 90) needs to go nicely into a table quite casually. The table (three rows high and ten columns long) which are the tickets that will be sold at the tombola will look like the following: | | | 20 | | 40 | | 62 | | 84 | | | | 22 |34 | 43 | 51 | 63 | 72 | 85 | | 8 | | | | | 55 | | 74 | 90 | Numbers needs to be in these columns as players can see easily if they have go...
split column

Smith What I want to do is split this column into three separate column so that it will appear as below Column B Column C Column D John B. Smith. Is there a formula that can help me do this.

What would be ideal would be some little message saying "Select the cell containing the f...
all long column of cells equal to whatever I put in B2
For some reason I am getting nowhere trying to do a very simple thing. I have a column with many of the cells for a long stretch that I want to be equal to whatever number I put in B2. As I'm building this spreadsheet, it seems to me that it should be a very simple matter to "tell" all those cells to just be equal to whatever is in B2, they using format painter, etc.,.... they don't copy "=B2" part of the previous cells, but instead just copy whatever the number is .... which means that when I change the number in B2, it won't change them. Any ideas? th...
