Lookup information in Access Database
Hi,
I've got an Access Database that is 128k rows. I dont want to pull it in to XL as the file is too big, and is more than one Tab. I would like to interrogate this table using Array formulae, Vlookup and wanted to know how (if at all possible) i would write the location of the source data, eg =vlookup(A1,'Data1.mdb!Table',offset) Thanks John |

Hi John,
I would like to interrogate this table using Array formulae, Vlookup and wanted to know how (if at all possible) i would write the location of the source data, eg =vlookup(A1,'Data1.mdb!Table',offset) What you describe cannot be done directly. But you can use an Access table as the basis for a pivot table directly. Or you can set up a query to your table and filter the data: data, get external data, new database query. You can even create a parameter query and tie the parameter to a worksheet cell in such a way that the query updates as soon as the cell's value changes. I think this is what you'd need.
