Using a Table as a Referance - Unions
Hi, I was wondering if there was any union code that i could use to use a table as a reference. what i mean is, if i had a main table that was related to this reference table by the primary key, and the reference table had fields choresponding to things in the in main table. this way, any one record in the main table would have a value in the reference table determined by two of the fields in the main table. i just realized how amazingly confusing i made that, so i will try to diagram it. MAIN TABLE: Joe - A - 1 Sally - B - 2 Kari - A - 2 Reference Table -- - 1 - 2 A - x - y B - z - q where the goal is to be able to tie x with Joe, q with Sally, etc. i think this could be done by making each field it's own table? but i would really like to keep all of the information in the same table (is this asking for something more excel oriented?) Thank you, Dan

That's not quite the way you design a relational database.
Presumably Joe, Sally etc are clients, and the reference table contains
something (such as the preferences for each client.) If so you have a
many-to-many relation between clients and preferences. You do not model this
as many fields in the reference table. Instead you create a junction table
between Clients and Preferences, with a *record* for each applicable
combination of client and preference.
So the tables will be like this:
Client table, with fields
ClientID AutoNumber
Surname Text
FirstName Text
...
Preference table:
PreferenceID AutoNumber
Preference Text (what this actually is)
ClientPreference table:
ClientID
PreferenceID
If you ever need to show a matrix with clients (down the left) and
preferences (across the top), you use a crosstab query to generate that.

Is it possible to implement collection classes that the XMLSer...

I do have some VB code that spools through the sheets/tables to do a "refresh". It is not very effecei...
pivot table cannot group that selection

I have done all the suggestions I've ever know to do in my data which are: - i removed ALL blank entries - i did the "text to columns" trick to convert all data to text, then applied appropriate formatting for the data type. - i copied all data and pasted special to ensure only the values were entered. none of this works and i don't know what else to try. ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~ View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.Exc...
