Primary data files rebalancing
I have inherited a database that has a single mdf of approx 600 gb. I need to break this up to more manageable chunks and to have the ability to spread across multiple predefined Luns. I understand how to add filegroups/files but my dilemma is how to rebalance the load across the files within the filegroup. I have already created a secondary filegroup with a defined file and have moved certain tables to the new filegroup. This new file is on a slower spindle (Lun) and the contained tables are rarely accessed. So far so good. After doing a file shrink on the Primary mdf an...

Paste data to next available empty row
In a spreadsheet used to total golf scores and calculate Stableford points, the data entry people enter the 18 hole scores for each player. The total score and points are calculated and the data entry person passes those two items to the scoreboard on paper. The data entry person then clicks a macro button on the spreadsheet which copies the input data and pastes it elsewhere on the sheet. i.e. in row 35 columns B thru Y. The macro also clears the data and saves the spreadsheet. Now the data entry person starts another series of inputs. My question is how do I make the next input paste on...

Need help positioning data labels
I have a clustered column chart and I selected the “Center” option for data labels. When I change the chart type to clustered cylinder, my data labels move to the top of the cylinders, and there is no longer a “Center” option for data labels. I would like my data labels centered (i.e., shown in the middle of each cylinder) without having to move them manually. Is there a work-around? I am using Excel 2007. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Bob Oh, the joys of 3d charts... Since the label is positioned in the center of the cylinder front-to-back, XL wo...

Column grid headings
Hope somebody can help. For some reason the grid column headings on my xcel spreadsheets changed from alpha (A,B,C etc) to numeric ( 1,2,3 etc.) So now both my column and row designations are numeric.

Attempting to pull out data to create Timesheet report
I am able to pull out the reported time from the timesheets but ran into a few problems. (I'm working off the EPM timesheet and also pulling in custom data) 1. I see a DayofWeek and DayofMonth field, but I cannot locate a MonthofYear. 2. I want to also add the entries for the Administrative time, but I cannot locate where those values are stored. What's stranger is that those values are also not populating when I do a regular Data Analysis view with the timesheet data, totals, and timesheet classification. I know that there is data there. Is there a bug? Thanks ...

Data collection in Excel2003
Hi everybody, I created an evaluation form some time ago in Excel 2003. Originally it was sent out to people after they had completed their training. It went out to about 5-6 people so gathering the information was not a very huge task. Now the form has been sent out to over a hundred people and I need to come up with something easier to capture the data. I used Forms-check boxes to answer the questions, then I had a comments area beside each question and I used the Forms-Text Box with a scroll bar. I am asking, is there an easier way to collect this data? Cheers Lynda Hi Li...

unusual behavior when data is entered

Page 1 is full with data...now what??
Page 1 of my spreadsheet is initially empty, except for the cell borders which mark off a 20x5 spreadsheet area. (ie, there are 20 rows and 5 columns where data will be entered). Once all the cells on Page 1 of my spreadsheet become full of data, I might need to add more data to this workbook. Once the area on Page 1 is full, is it possible to create another empty table on Page 2 so more data can be entered onto a new table that is formatted exactly like the table on Page 1?? I guess what I'm really looking for is a type of smart workbook that automatically creates a newly...

corresponding data
Hi all, In sheet A in col AU are more than 600 numers, say 344, 2368 etc. In col BI of sheet A are corresponding amounts (numbers or nothing, no text, no formulas). Sheet B in col. M also has some numbers in it (numbers or nothing, no text, no formulas) which all occur in col AU of sheet A. I need efficient (fast) code to copy the corresponding amount in col BI of sheet A to col N in sheet B, say from row 2 (in sheet B) to row 60. The result (the amount in col N of sheet B) should be like this: sheet A sheet B col A...

Can I preserve chart formatting when the source data is updated?
My source data is in a list, and when I add data to the list, the chart automatically updates by adding the new data but all chart formatting is lost. I would like to know what I have to do to preserve the formatting of the chart when updating the data. I read similar questions in the forumns about losing formatting when working with Pivot Charts, and that this can be fixed with Macros. I am not very familar with Macros, and it seems like it would be more work than it is worth to preserve formatting in a normal chart. Is there an alternative method? Thank you. more detail about what ...

Adjusting Chart source data when column is deleted
Hi all, I have a chart that plots data from $B$9:$BA$9$ on a worksheet in the same workbook. This chart is a running average so every week the first column is deleted and new data is added to BA9. Problem is when column B9 is deleted the chart adjusts the data source to be $B$9:$AZ$9. What can I do to retain the reference of a series in a chart no matter what I do to the columns in the referenced worksheet? Or is there something I should be doing differently in the source worksheet? There are many worksheets and charts so going to each chart to update the references takes a long ...

Named Range, hidden row, auto-filter & macro buttons
My named range starts w/Row 14, which is hidden. A macro button inserts a new row below 14 so users may enter a new record. There are several reasons I’m doing it this way. 1) Inserting a new row between 14 & 15 ensures my named range is never altered, 2) Row 14 has conditional formatting that is copied onto Row 15 - keeping fields yellow until data is entered, and 3) the new record is always entered directly below directly below column titles. Aside from entering records I want users to be able to easily navigate through the large list or create custom narrowed down...

Finding repeated data in a excel spreadsheet
I have a problem with an excel spreadsheet that i need help with... I am studying a road network and it is represented by points (nodes) and the space inbetween these is the road. My problem is that obviously a road goes from say point A to point B but also back the way from point B to point A. The data i have contains both data from point A to point B but also from point B to point A. This data is identical and to i'd like to delete the repeated data from B to A. The problem is that point A may go to up to 5 other locations, ie to B,C,D,E or - as roads do at a junction. Therefore ...

Cell Borders and "Columns to Repeat at Left"

I also need to set cell borders with various type lines (double, thin, single, etc) to emphasize various parts of the sheet.

Losing my headers and footers when I copy the file
When I copy an Excel file, the headers and footers are missing in the copy. Is this a bug? Whats the fix? Hello Stu, Headers and footers are properties of each sheet. If you copied the file (workbook) headers and footers would be copied also. If you copy a sheet (by right-clicking a tab and choosing "Move or Copy") that info would likewise go with it. If you are copying info from inside the sheet, even by selecting all, the header/footer would not be copied.

Copied files do not match originals
I have been plagued by this problem for months; when copying large (2-15GB) files from one drive to another, I find that the source and destination do not match afterward when I run a binary comparison between them. Originally I was transferring files between two XP machines over a gigabit network. I attempted all possible combinations of drive mapping with no effect. Occasionally a recopy *would* match, but often I got no improvement. I am now transferring the files directly on the target machine, by attaching the source hard drive to a spare SATA connection, with the same res...

How to save a specific range of data
I have to save a specific range of data, including 1 empty cell on each row in CSV format. This is to create an extra comma on the end of each record.
